Description
Sol Principe is a large 4-star hotel built in 1973 and renovated in 2009, located directly on the beachfront in Torremolinos. The hotel complex consists of three 10-story buildings with a total of 799 rooms, offering a range of room types from Economy Double rooms to family suites and sea view junior suites. It features five outdoor freshwater pools plus one heated indoor pool available in winter. Families will find ample facilities such as two children's pools, a kids' club for ages 5–12 during summer, a playground, and paid babysitting services. Dining options include two buffet restaurants and two bars. Guests can also enjoy free activities like volleyball, darts, and aerobics, with additional paid options like mini-golf and massage. While the hotel is praised for its friendly staff, clean rooms, and extensive pools, some reviews mention dated facilities and occasional overcrowding, especially at the pools and restaurants.
Location
Sol Principe is situated just 50 meters from Playa de Playamar, a public sandy beach with umbrellas and sun loungers available for a fee. The beachfront location allows easy access to the 1100-meter-long beach promenade. The hotel is 1 km from the center of Torremolinos and about 5 km from Malaga Airport (AGP). Nearby dining options within 300 meters include Pizzorante El Panaro and Restaurante los Manueles, both rated 8/10, plus the Lombok natural beach bar. Free parking is available on-site, and the hotel is part of the SOL hotel group, offering a location that combines beach proximity with local amenities.

The stay at Sol Príncipe in Málaga was fairly mediocre overall. The hotel feels quite dated and some of the facilities were disappointing during the stay. The main outdoor pool was closed, which was one of the reasons for choosing the hotel, and the indoor pool had very limited opening hours.
Parking was also frustratingly expensive, especially considering there is free parking just outside the hotel gates. The EV charging station in the hotel car park was also not working, which was inconvenient.
On the positive side, the staff were friendly enough and helpful when approached. However, overall the hotel didn’t quite live up to expectations and could do with some updating and better management of its facilities

Amazing experience 👍
Me and my husband stayed for 4 nights, very relaxing hotel… rooms were very clean, food was having so many options for vegetarians too. Location is perfect. Most of the staff are very nice.
We will definitely go again 🙂🙌
I felt pool could be more cleaned. But rest of the services were perfect.

Basic enough room in saying that everything we needed was there , very very clean, housekeeping were excellent, the best we have encountered. Busy hotel the restaurant is very busy self service with queues at peak times, big open room really noisey and not relaxing atall , on the other hand there was a veranda adjacent to the main dining room which we thought was amazing, relaxing and more to our taste, the food was tasty with a large choice of everything, themed nights tasty treats and SWEETS! We all loved the sweets 😍

Spacious room with a surprisingly powerful mini-fridge and a very effective air conditioner that works properly even with the windows open. The bathtub was a great plus for me, and the building itself along with its huge pool area creates a special, almost resort-like vibe. Wi-Fi was stable in the room and only slightly weaker by the pool.
However, several things really affected the overall experience. The pool area often turns into a kindergarten - kids running, screaming, splashing, and using water guns despite the posted rules, with parents encouraging it. For a resort this large, it’s disappointing there’s no 18+ or quiet pool zone. The same five pop lounge tracks loop all day long, which becomes tiring quickly.
The bedding was thin, and even though I requested to have two single beds joined, they were only connected at the base, leaving a gap between the mattresses. Sunbeds are constantly “reserved” with towels for hours, making it nearly impossible to find a free one. Most concerning, my hotel door was left open after cleaning - a serious safety red flag. Although staff compensated with a late checkout, champagne and finally fixed the bed setup, there was zero response to any of my booking.com inquiries, even after the escalation.

Amazing hotel !
Great location - literally on the beach . Surprisingly friendly staff - even when you stay as a last person on a breakfast or a dinner - they will be supernice - that rare. Well done for that . Food variety of food 8/10 , great grill ! Morning omelet could be faster - long queue .
.Reception most of the time rammed but pro and with a smile. Pools - clean .Bathrooms - clean ( I mean really clean ! Public bathroom in a hotel it’s a sign of good management) Animation team - the best part of the hotel. People with hearts on a hand. Top. Housekeeping flawless.
I would gladly recommend this hotel - I will be coming back for sure. That’s my second SOL after SOL Barbados on Mallorca. Worked out even better . SOL or Melià would be my 1st choice from now on. Great value for money .
Just one but … - Melià needs better photographer to catch the real highlights of that hotel .

Second time back here and it’s just got everything you need for a week away. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the pool areas are clean and spacious. Great time as always

Very nice hotel with great location by the beach. It takes about 15-20 minutes to check in one family in this hotel, so very long queues by the reception. Maybe they should do something about that. I have worked in a hotel and also stayed in lots of hotels but it has never taken so long to check in (we had no special needs or questions). After the pools close, huge seagulls and ducks come swimming, I have no idea what to do about this, but something has to be done. Lots of activities for children and adults. The kids club was fantastic with a friendly staff. They were so nice and considearate towards us and our son. The night entertainment was kind of a disapointment. Only lip syncing and dancing to songs. The pools are huge and they also have a smaller pool on the other side of the hotel, which is a little bit less crowded. We struggled to find space for the sunbeds by the pool, maybe we were the only ones obeying the rule not to reserve them. 😂 All in all there wasn’t enough room for the sunbeds by the pool. Also they need more staff to the poolbar, long queues all day long. The breakfast was my least favorite experience. It was so loud and crowded. So many things had ran out all the time, good selection though. The room was nice, no complaints. We had a family room. Good space and the shower pressure was good. We wanted late check out, but it was not possible. They had an opportunity to reserve a room for showering on the departure day for half and hour. This was such a great service. All in all a great experience.

We did not like our stay at all.
This place is soooooo....huge lots of people lots of noise. The buffet is lign up for everything.
If you don't like big crowds stay away from this place.

enviruonment was in our room or outside of the complex.
Also their AC are so filthy peoplecate breathing this terrible air

This hotel is Very crowded . The main lagoon swimming pool is too busy. Sunbeds are laid out, but you have to fight for space around the pool to place extra sunbeds. Most people give up and head to the beach over the road. For singles and couples looking for a quiet relaxing stay, I wouldn’t recommend. The rooms are great, but annoyingly the Safes in room are an optional extra.
I wouldn’t stay again, too busy
