Sol Torremolinos Don Pablo

Francesco Rodella

Huge resort with many spacious and well-maintained common areas. A central bar with live shows every evening, plus scheduled entertainment activities throughout the day. Recently renovated; my room was spacious, very clean, with an excellent bathroom and a large balcony. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were plentiful, offering a wide variety of options for all tastes, including live cooking stations with chefs preparing fresh meat or fish on the spot, or eggs in the morning. Outdoor pools right by the beachfront, as well as a heated indoor pool available during the winter season. The gym is adequate and open 24 hours. The staff is extremely friendly and kind.

This hotel has been wonderfully refurbished since our last stay a few years ago. We loved the modern improvements. The hotel is spotless with housekeeping providing an excellent service. All tastes are catered for in the dining room, we enjoyed the food. We give thanks and appreciation to all the hard working staff in every area of this resort ensuring guests have a lovely holiday. Thank you all so much!!!

We have just returned from a 10 night B&B stay at this hotel, we have stayed at quite a few hotels in this area but our first time here and I can confirm that it was almost a perfect stay, the hotel is part of a complex with two other hotels attached which is really good because you can use the facilities of each hotel. The hotel is very well presented and very clean everywhere, our room was serviced every day, the breakfast was also good with quite a good selection, the pool areas are also very nice, Now for the one thing that really got me feeling quite annoyed. We paid a premium for a room with a sea view which we got and was very good however we rarely got to sit outside due to other people smoking and forcing us to return to our room and stay behind closed doors so we really wasted our money on that room, I understand hotels are allowed a percentage of rooms for smokers however I am sure this could be managed and planned out better than the current set up which is everyone just mixed together, I did speak to a manager and was offered a change of room but because they have no idea which rooms have smokers in it would of been a lottery and could of been even worse. I have mentioned this issue because I am sure other people like myself would rather be informed of this issue.

Hotel was amazing, facilities were fantastic, outdoor pools were well maintained, indoor pool needed some work on the tiles, but lovely! Rooms were beautiful, with large spacious bed, bathroom brilliant & balcony overlooking the sea! The only thing to let it down for me was the buffet dinner! Very dry looking food, desserts were better, but the food was not for me. Overall lovely hotel, staff were really friendly and helpful. Parking has to pay for on top of the room fee!

We got a taxi direct to and from the airport which cost 22 and 20 Euros respectively on a Saturday. Check-in was quick and efficient and our room was ready when we around mid-day which was a nice bonus. Bedroom - the bedroom was a good size with plenty of storage space, there was a good sized safe that was free and a fridge. There were useful USB and HDMI ports above the desk and plenty of other plug sockets. The bed was a Super King size and was very comfortable with large soft pillows. There was also a speaker tower in the room which we felt was totally unnecessary as it could potentially lead to noise issues if you were unlucky to have inconsiderate neighbours. Our room was cleaned daily to a very good standard by a friendly, cheerful maid. The noise insulation between rooms (at least in our case) was very good as for the majority of our stay we heard no noise from our neighbours. WIFI - the WIFI at times was very patchy in our room and we were regularly kicked off which became frustrating and annoying! Balcony - we had booked a Superior Full Frontal Seaview and loved the huge wraparound balcony with fantastic panoramic full frontal sea views. The balcony also had both standard chairs, reclining deck chairs and a table. Bath Room - the bathroom was also a good size with an excellent large walk in shower. There was both rain shower and wandering hose attachments that had good water pressure, stable temperature and hot water on demand. Shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, and hand soap were all provided. The towels were changed as and when required, and bed sheets were changed after three days. Dining - for me this was the most disappointing part of my stay. In my opinion the food was very repetitive even for a weeks stay and the hot food was very rarely warm unless you opted for a freshly cooked omelette that were very nice. Breakfast - There was a huge choice from cereals, fruit, cooked meats and cheese and a hot selection for an English breakfast as well as a live cooking station making omelettes and pancakes etc. There were multiple coffee stations along with juice and also Cava for those that wanted it. As is usually the case with hotel buffets the hot food was barely warm but thankfully there was a microwave available for those that like their hot food served hot. Dinner - Once again there was a huge selection to choose from that normally included at least one (and often more) of each of fish, meat and poultry dishes along with a plethora of other accompaniments. Desserts were fairly basic and did not change much during our weeks stay. We really liked that the drinks menu was was printed on the table place mats although it was disappointing and surprising that wine could not be ordered by the glass, the minimum being half a bottle. Entertainment - we were surprised and appreciated to see an entertainments program available during the day and evening for our stay in January 2026. We watched the evening entertainment most nights and found most of the acts quite enjoyable. Location - in our opinion this hotel is in an excellent location with Torremolinos old town around a 15 to 20 minute walk away located up quite a few steps or can also be accessed by a lift located close to the rear of the hotel Melia Sol and costs just 50 cents each way. Benalmadena Marina is an approximate 30 to 40 minute brisk walk along what is a predominantly a flat promenade. To sum up - In our opinion the finishing in our room lacked attention to detail (see attached pictures). All but one member of staff that we spoke to were friendly, helpful and professional and the hotel was kept very clean by the hard working members of the cleaning staff. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Don Pablo and despite some issues these were greatly out numbered by the many positives and we would consider returning to again in the future and would rate our stay as 4.5*.
