Comments: Quite frankly, Torremolinos is not the kind of place you'd go to if you're looking for culture, but if you're looking for a cheap 'n' cheerful, bucket & spade type holiday, then this is for you! I would say that the resort and hotel are suited to anyone with a young family. Indeed, my husband commented that "I bet this is what it's like in Butlins"! The hotel was clean enough, but the food was a big minus point for us. I think if we were to go again, then we'd stick to 'bed & breakfast'. There's a fantastic Chinese buffet/sushi restaurant only 2 minutes walk from the hotel (as much as you can eat for 8 euros), which I'd recommend anyone try - it's certainly a million times better than the food at the Griego Mar! The hotel is located quite a way from the beach, but no-one seemed to mind as the pool area was always packed full. Be aware though that the sun loungers are covered in towels by 8 a.m. All in all, it wasn't our kind of thing really (we're a 30-something married couple, with no kids), but anyone with a young family should love it.
