Description

It offers 371 rooms across two buildings, with the 9-floor main building featuring sea views from all rooms.

Guests can enjoy buffet dining with show cooking, two bars including one with a pool terrace, and daily entertainment programs. Conference facilities accommodate up to 1200 people, making it suitable for events. The hotel provides amenities like paid Wi-Fi, currency exchange, car hire, and equipment rental for conferences.

The overall rating reflects a decent value for the price, especially considering its beachside location.
Location
Located directly on the beachfront at Paseo Maritimo, 79, Hotel Puente Real is just 10 meters from Playa de Los Alamos, a public sandy beach with a 1.6 km stretch. The hotel is approximately 4 km from Malaga Airport (Pablo Ruiz Picasso) and about 2.5 km from the Torremolinos town center. A nearby train station provides a 25-minute connection to central Malaga. The hotel is positioned at the far end of the beach strip, with several restaurants within 150–300 meters, including Moliere Playa and Chiringuito El Espeto Playa, both rated 8/10. Beach umbrellas and loungers are available for rent, while poolside loungers and umbrellas are free. The location offers easy seaside access but limited nearby shops and nightlife, requiring transport for exploring the wider area.

Reviews
The main building is very noisy with paper-thin walls, so earplugs are a must, and the hotel would benefit from some maintenance. There were queues for dinner even out of season, which makes peak summer hard to imagine.
The schampo in our junior suite was diluted by water, the drinks was diluted, the coffee tasted water aswell.
Only downside is pool not heated.
Downside was food in buffet. Not 4 star quality. Often luke warm. Poor quality meat, fatty. Also lack of spoons. Watery 'juice' from dispensers.
Drinks served in plastic cups via token system. Only able to have one drink at a time.
Location not very well served with buses. Approx 20 minute walk to trains which are regular. Not far from airport so do get noise from planes.
The only good think about this hotel is the location (beach front) and some members from entertainment team (really appreciate their effort to make things right)
The rest, just a SHAME!!! The management should invest a bit of passion and money to keep this hotel under 4 starts rating!
Elevator doesn’t work properly (we are on 8th floor). Took me 32 minutes to check out due to bad line management. Drinks are not fresh made and they make most of them out in the back from some kind of tap. Drinks look but and everything is served in a children’s plastic cup. Room keys doesn’t work properly, had to get it re-coded 8-9 times in 5 days which sucks when you’re on 8th floor and have to wait 15 minutes for the elevator to go down and then another 15 to go up. No chairs available by the pool. Same buffet every day. Rooms are ok but very tiny.
