MS Tropicana Costa del Sol in Torremolinos

Overall, I think this hotel is very standard the area itself which is where we wanted to stay is absolutely brilliant bars restaurants you’re on the beach really couldn’t get any better. When we arrived I wouldn’t say it was the best greeting quite formal luckily we booked a Seaview room but the balcony was very small and nowhere to hang wet towels or wet costumes so had to hang them around the room really. The most disappointing was the bathroom as there is a shower curtain to prevent water going onto wet floors as we found out the shower curtain stuck to you when you were in the shower and the shower was facing outwards instead of at the side so you couldn’t really stand under it properly. My partner slipped one day and actually hurt his side which didn’t need hospital treatment thankfully, but was bruised all week.. The one thing I picked up on with all the reviews is the breakfast luckily there is a microwave because the breakfast is stone cold and the eggs. The fried eggs are swimming in yellow grease the bacon floating in fat the bread and pastries were adequate but we love a cooking section where you can have an omelette or poached eggs unfortunately this doesn’t exist and for a four star hotel we were very disappointed The room itself is adequate. There’s several English channels to watch especially in the mornings. We always take a kettle with us and cups and provide ourselves with coffee and tea as we wake up early and the breakfast isn’t open till 730 which is reasonably early but if you’re waking earlier than that, you need a drink. We had an issue with returning our tickets as a receipt was requested and I don’t actually think we got a receipt or we didn’t wait for a receipt so the €20 we would supposed to be getting back we didn’t very annoying. Overall I would say it’s a base the sister hotel next door is very good but the sunbeds are always reserved and it was very busy. The food serving at lunchtime and evening was very expensive and pretty poor. That’s just our opinion. Would we return not this hotel but the area itself as I’ve said is absolutely amazing we love it here
