“Exactly what we expected”

We stayed in a studio apartment behind the hotel. The room was basic and clean, exactly as we had expected. Our studio room overlooked a busy road but earplugs and black out curtains ensured we had a good nights sleep. Located a few minutes from the hotel and from the beach it was perfect. We chose to have the hotel breakfast buffet each day as there was a plentiful selection of good food on offer. Take slip-on sandals to walk across the sand to the sea - the sand is so hot in the afternoons it feels as if it's burning your feet. One day the sea wasn't very clean but we could have used the pool instead. No nightclubs or noisy bars near to our hotel - but plenty of restaurants and beach bars to choose from. Would recommend this hotal for a quiet beach break.

“A Nice Beachfront Experience”

The location was perfect--just a few steps to the beach. The staff was very helpful and helped us overcome any language barriers. Our room was spacious and had a great view of the beach. We would definitely stay here again. The Tropicana seemed to be a little smaller that some of the other beachfront hotels, and we liked that.

“Malaga Trip”

The city is beautiful. Our stay was nice. there staff was very helpful. They were having trouble with English but really tried their best to help us. Not happy with internet connection as it was intermittent. I wish they has a coffee pot or kettle for heating water for tea and coffee. Resturant opened too late for us - 8:00am. S/B atleast 6 or 6:30 am.

“Studios are great!”

We opted to stay at the Tropicana again because of location and the fact we would have a kitchen. We were there during a really rainy period and were so glad that we had the ability to stay in at night and fix fresh shrimp, artichokes, tomatoes, strawberries, well, you get the picture! Close to supermarket, train station (even though it is uphill all the way), restaurants, shopping. We will stay there again!

“Studio apartments are only 1 or 2 star at the best”

The hotel is superbly located in a quiet position adjacent to all amenities. The hotel itself is definitely 4 star but the annex with the studio apartments is only 1 or 2 star and this should be made clear on any information regarding the hotel. The studio apartments are lacking in equipment with only a refrigerator and 2 hob cooker top. There is no kettle, toaster or microwave oven which for self catering purposes are essential even if only to make a cup of tea or coffee.

“Hotel Tropicana Torremolinos”

I stayed at the Hotel Tropicana last weekend (Nov09) for 4 nights. The hotel is well located next to the beach and within walking distance of many bars and restaurants. I had a studio room which was across the road from the main hotel. The room was very basic, a good size but basic in terms of amenities. The price is very good though, but don't expect a 4 star hotel it you take the cheapest room option. Free wireless internet was a bonus in the bar area.

“Great location but a little tired”

The Tropicana has a great location on the beach wih its own beach bar and grill; these are real pluses. THe surrounding area is so-so with little good shopping or eating options.The hotel restaurant has a very good breakfast buffet that was included in our room rate and the one dinner we had in the hotel was good; we found the restaurant staff (especially Fernando) to be helpful and friendly. The only minor knock I would have on the hotel is it is a little tired and several areas including the rooms could do with a fresh coat of paint, a some new furniture, etc,. Would I stay there again,,,yes if my travels took me back to Torremolinas I would certainly go back as we spent so little time in the hotel itself the pluses of beach access etc far out weigh any some improvement opportunities they have.

“Studio apartment was a total waste of money and time. Worst holiday we have had in Spain.”

Apartments were away from the Hotel in an old V-shaped building with almost continual noise from the busy roads each side. Our first room was most depressing with dirty curtains trailing on the floor and hanging off the rods at the top. It was so small the dining table and chairs were on the north-facing balcony. Wardrobe doors looked as though they had been made of varnished firewood. We requested a better room and were given one which seemed to have been more recently refurbished. Even so the armchair had a leg broken off (which my husband repaired), two shall lamps which were insufficient to read by, a shower curtain which didn't reach the tray - consequently the floor was flooded each time we showered, and no chairs on the patio.

“waiting to chang hotel”

During 3 days staying there we never received any service from Hotel Tropicana.When we asked from managmet we were told this section has noting to do with main hotel.After 3 days staying there we stayed in another hotel for 4 days more.
