After reading mixed reviews before we traveled we went with an open mind. We stayed in the main building. The entrance and the ground floor areas are very classy. Both the main bar and Franks cafe were nice places to have a drink. The main bar had a terrace over looking the sea. We didn’t stay for the entertainment as we like to wonder after our meal. So cannot comment on that. Talking of meals. We were very impressed with the variety and quality of the food. My wife is vegetarian and found loads to dine on. The breakfasts were again plentiful and good. I think you would have to be rather picky if you couldn’t find something to suit you. Staff were excellent in all areas of the hotel. I certainly don’t envy the restaurant staff as they never stop and worked very hard clearing plates etc. one evening we had to wait to be seated but no big deal. We were on holiday and no particular place to go. Our room was on the 5th floor overlooking the pool and views to the marina. I have stayed in bigger rooms with bigger balconies but it was very comfortable. No issues with the shower it was powerful and always plenty hot water. Great maid service always clean towels and room left spotless. Only negative observation and it is trivial was the wallpaper seams all the way on the corridor to our rooms was slightly lifting. It only needed sticking down to make it look good again rather than looking a little bit neglected. Obviously it didn’t diminish or distract from a wonderful stay. I cannot comment on the other areas of the hotel as I said we stayed in the main part.

Last year we stayed at the Barracuda but had to walk round to the Pez Espada to see the Jet2 rep. We liked the look of the hotel so booked for this year. Very nice room, excellent breakfast etc. Only disappointment was that having booked a sea and pool view room we had expected to be on the sunny side of the hotel. However we were in the three storey L shaped annex which I did not know existed and the balcony was always in shade. Still happy to use the hotel again though.

Have just returned from a 5 night stay at this hotel. We stayed in a pool/side sea view room. This is what we got, however we were in the block opposite the main hotel and the room had no sun at all during our stay. The rooms opposite in the main part seemed to get the sun all day. Not a major problem for the short time we were there and guess pot luck which side you get. No air conditioning at this time of year and the room felt hot so maybe it was good that no sun! We left our door open all the time which helped. Felt safe to do so even when we were out and at night. At this time of year, the pool doesn’t get much sun during the times it was open. The pool was freezing, I don’t usually mind cold pools but this was just too cold for me and others too I presume as rarely saw any adults in it. The music around the pool area was mainly 60’s/70’s which we enjoyed and was in keeping with the hotel’s theme. The hotel is in a great position to get into Benalmádena and other parts of Torremolinos. Breakfast choices were good, we ate out in the evening so can’t comment on dinner choices. Hotel was spotless, saw cleaning going on at all times of the day and room kept clean on a daily basis. We enjoyed our stay so on our last night were checking prices for next year and managed to book a junior suite on the sea front for pretty much the same price as we paid for our holiday this year. See you next year 😊
