Tropicana

Just back from a 5 night stay here, having read reviews I knew it was basic and old fashioned. But I didn't realise we would be given zero information at check in, like we could use the sister hotel (I knew this from reading reviews but wasn't sure how to access it), where breakfast was and just general basic info. you expect when checking in. When I went to ask for the WiFi password a different receptionist gave us a leaflet with at least some info. Surely that should be given as standard. Anyway check in done and to the room we go, basic as expected but some things like having a light and a towel dryer thing on the balcony are small but you do miss them. The air con was good enough and did keep the room cool and the fridge was great. On our second morning when I went to straighten the beds one of the top covers had a disgusting mark on it (it definitely was not from us) and when they changed the beds they weren't perfectly clean either, bit minging. Breakfast we didn't rate this. The hot options looked grim, but I guess everyone could probably find something. We only went twice. The pool area is super quiet, nowhere to get a drink or anything unsure if you can get them next door and bring them through or not as no one seemed to. And yes it is a very noisy hotel can literally hear every creak, scrape and squeak. I wouldn't stay there again I guess if you know exactly what to expect it might be OK for a short stay. Good location.

Stayed here for a week with my teenage daughter, it was all I could ask for, peaceful, clean, nice breakfast buffet with lovely options, lots of bread choices, meat and cheese, yoghurts, cakes, the orange juice was delicious! Coffee machine but also Nescafé sachets, fresh pancake machine, and your staple bacon eggs sausage and beans. Fabulous choices for even a picky eater ||My favourite part was the pool, cleaned every morning, gardens kept to a high standard. Sun beds were comfy and never had an issue finding a bed as it’s a quiet hotel, umbrellas at each bed. That was a big fear that there would be a sunbed war but not the case. ||Hotel was clean fresh feeling, check in was smooth and quick. Hotel room was all you needed, small fridge, bathroom was clean with small extras like soap and toothbrush. Cleaners came daily but we only needed extra towels, all staff were very smiley and looked always busy. Got a side sea view room that looked over the sister hotel, very happy with it. ||Location is great as I wanted right on the sea front so no wandering about with my teenage daughter at night time so felt safe. ||Would definitely return to this hotel, think it’s being refurbished next year so sadly can’t find a date to return.

Came here for a week at the start of May, check in was quick and efficient,|room on the top floor with a sea view was quite nice also, bit surprised to see ants roaming around though, as we were on level 5, wasn't too much of a hassle, just did not leave anything on the floor, pillows were awful for the bed though, struggled to sleep and when we did, woke up with a sore neck, there is a half decent breakfast, but its the same every day, so by day 4 was very repetitive. Bar across from the hotel with the same name, Club Tropicana, drinks ain't free(very pricey). Supermarket next door as well, beach is across the promenade, nice sunbeds, 8 euro per sunbed per day, they are comfortable though, it's a 20/30 minute walk to the nearest train stations, take your own kettle if you need to as well, there was plug sockets in the room but away from the bed, overall, nice enough hotel if a little dated, it was fine for us, kept clean, but sort the pillows out as they are awful. And also the wi-fi was very hit and miss, good for the 1st 3 days but terrible for the last 4 days, no matter where in the hotel you used it, ending up using my own data.

My wife & I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years, mainly because of its location. The food (breakfast) has never been up to much, but this time it managed to hit an all time low. |The Bain Marie doesn’t keep food warm, I mentioned this to the reception a couple of times but nothing changed for 10 days, when the Bain Marie was turned off, and when guests asked where the “hot” food was, were told to order it from the staff. I ordered scrambled eggs & bacon, after 5 minutes a huge pan of eggs arrived just slightly warm, the bacon never arrived, so the eggs were wasted, I mentioned this to a member of staff who said they would get me some bacon, I declined & had a breakfast at a nearby cafe instead. |The following morning, I asked for the same thing again, from the same person, they brought me out eggs & cremated bacon, the guy had brought this himself from the kitchen, how he thought it was acceptable to serve this was beyond me. I told him to take it back & I would go to the cafe again for breakfast, he pleaded for me to allow him to bring another breakfast, which he did, & this was ok.|There are tongs on the cold meat/cheese counter to avoid touching food with hands, so I was alarmed to see a kitchen worker with a pile of ham in her hand, placing each piece on the counter one at a time with her other hand, & she wasn’t wearing gloves. |After seeing this, I decided to go for a hard boiled egg, as she can’t get her fingers inside them, unfortunately the egg looked like it was fertilised & not edible.|There are plenty of other hotels in this area, I suggest you avoid this one, we certainly won’t be back.|Oh…and the coffee is disgusting.

Travelled on 24/6/25 for 7 nights a group of 7 ladies a welcome return to this lovely quaint hotel Hotel is a little tired looking in places but there were room renovations being carried out which is a good thing All staff pleasant and welcoming and all areas very clean however there is a breakfast room overlooking the sea and a bar area by reception that could be utilised better as these are not open ( except at breakfast) Beatrice waitress in Tropicana was lovely and set up breakfast everyday so we could all eat together We did have to have our evening meal next door at the sister hotel (MS Amaragua) and this restaurant couldn’t seem to cope with a party of 7 as most nights we were squashed up on a table for 6 They didnt seem to welcome quests from Tropicana very well as there were larger parties in this hotel ms Amaragua that seem to get larger tables (that may be just our experience) The other factor which was annoying was the saving of sunbeds particularly by Tropicana pool people were out from 7-7.30 am putting on towels and some would not use the beds till much later !!! This hotel is right on the beach and convenient to shops and bars and only 20 mins from airport . in all it has more good points than bad so we will hopefully be there again next year.

Basic hotel in Torremolinos. Very simple old fashioned rooms. Friendly front desk. Nice breakfast set up and choice of indoor outdoor area. Close to the beach and free on road parking outside.

Lovely hotel with amazing staff, unfortunately my husband took ill on the second day of our holiday and spent the rest of it in hospital, I had so much help from the staff. The hotel is spotless and cleaners very helpful also. we were booked for half board and the sister hotel is where the evening meals are, the food was fresh and lots of choice. We will go back and hopefully enjoy a proper holiday with no problems.

Drinks are good. Got the mojito! Service a little slow.
