Sol Torremolinos – Don Marco

First visit to this hotel. We are frequents travellers who usually stay in Benalmadena or La Caruela. I can honestly say that we have now found our favourite hotel. Everything about this place is amazing. Beautiful grounds. Staff who can't do enough for you. Friendly efficient check in. Lovely clean spacious room. The best pillows we have had since visiting our last Melia hotel in Isla Canela ( it must be a Melia thing). Excellent food with plenty of choices. The hotel is a resort comprising of 3 hotels. Only 2 were open at the time of our stay but we would happily stay in any of the three. They offer a varied entertainment programme including evening entertainment and daily activities. The hotel is a 10 - 15 minute walk from Torremolinos train station. Bus route near by. Easy access to other surrounding places of interest. Malaga, Mijas, Benalmadena to name a few. We are frequent travellers but by far for quality, value for money and overall satisfaction, this place is a winner. Can not recommend enough. We will definitely return.

I would normally rate our visits 5 but unfortunately this visit I felt like standards were dropping a bit. We have stayed at all 3 hotels in the complex many times over the past few years and always found the hotel brilliant. This time we decided to stay in Don Marco for the first time and, due to it being my 60th birthday we decided to upgrade to an Xtra Room with a poolside view. First impressions of the room was positive. A couple of suggestions I would make would be a towel hanger on the balcony, and that the light in the corridor went off on a night as this did illuminate our room. My criticism is that in our 7 night stay the room was only cleaned 3 times and therefore the towels only changed 3 times. We seemed to be forgotten as we were the only room occupied on this floor. I also expected a bottle of bubbly on my birthday which I have had for the last 3 years. I felt we paid more for the room but got less. The food in the restaurant as always was very good, but again an example of standards slipping was 2 nights we had to find our own table and wait for it to be set, 2 nights we were not approached at all to order drinks, and one night somebody accidentally dropped and broke a plate. Even though this was pointed out to at least 5 members of staff it was not cleared up and left, causing a hazard near the food counter. I know these may only seems like very minor issues and we did really enjoy our stay again , but I feel I need to pint them out as I would hate standards to slip at the Sol Complex as it is somewhere we love to come to and think of it as our happy place.

Generally a very good hotel. We had an issue with the room on arrival. The room was an extra with sea view. It had side windows that had pull down blinds that were broke. A maintenance man told us that it was a manufacturers issue and couldn't be fixed. We were moved the following day to another extra sea view room. Thanks to Debora on reception who sorted it. The major problem with the sea view rooms despite the extra cost is the excess noise from the Irish bar just below on the street. It is horrendous and goes on all day and most of the night. It only subsided briefly during our stay when a fight broke out and on of the protagonists nearly went under the wheels of a car. It has to be said that this bar is not part of the hotel and outside their control but if they are charging extra for these rooms perhaps they should warn guests. Enough moaning this a good hotel and part of a good complex. We shall certainly check out the Don Pedro part once this has been upgraded.

10 out of 10 from check in ,cleanliness , entertainment staff, bar staff, reception staff, cleaners , air con in the room , 0 out of 10 for the no bathroom set up , who designed it , you walk in the room and the basin is on the right , the toilet cubicle is behind a frosted glass door, and the shower cubicle is behind a frosted glass door no shelf or hooks in it , no bathroom ,really also no wardrobe just a room divider to hang your clothes ,

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel per 7 giorni in una camera doppia EXTRA FRONTE MARE con formula ALL INCLUSIVE. Inaugurato a giugno 2024, fa parte con altri 2 hotel del SOL TORREMOLINOS RESORT. Hotel perfettamente pulito, camera con vista spettacolare sul mare, personale gentilissimo che si attiva immediatamente per qualsiasi problema. Due ristoranti a disposizione con alimentazione di buona qualità (piccola pecca a mio giudizio la paella di pesce è stata fatta una sola volta) per quanto riguarda il resto molto abbondante e vario. Un ringraziamento particolare al Manager Dott. BORJA FERNANDEZ per l'ottima gestione del RESORT, ai Sig, DANIEL e LOLA del ristorante per la loro gentilezza e cotesia ed al cameriere sig. GODOY per la professionalità. Resort sicuramente da consigliare dove noi ritorneremo al più presto.

ESTA ES LA QUINTA VEZ QUE NOS ALOJAMOS ENTRE DON MARCO Y DON PABLO. EL HOTEL MUY BIEN SITUADO, MUY ACCESIBLE PARA PERSONAS CON MOVILIDAD REDUCIDA. PERO LO QUE SI ESTOY OBSERVANDO ES QUE EL BUFETT CADA VEZ PEOR, Y LOS CAMBIOS CONTINUOS PARA EL TODO INCLUIDO, ME HAN DEJADO UN POCO DECEPCIONADO.
