Fair price for a standard 3* hotel - HONEST REVIEW:
POSITIVES:
- definitely the place, it's right on a beach, with restaurants and shops nearby
- close to Torremolinos centre
- VERY helpful reception staff
- good equipment in kitchen (no cleaning supplies)
- quite comfortable beds
- daily cleaning, towel change
- updated bathrooms! This was a positive surprise.
NEGATIVES:
- old hotel, the rooms are no way 77m²!! This is a lie..
- the carpets in the hallways are smelly and stained (the cleaning ladies place wet mops on the carpet after each room cleaning)
- the overall look of the deco had 90's vibes with red/yellow colour scheme, cheap plastic chairs etc.
- the balcony is NEVER cleaned, meaning there is sand everywhere
- no toiletries in bathroom
- very sad pool area, there is "grass" everywhere but mostly only dirt, which is wet and stinks. The pool chair needs to be paid for! Only 1 pool with salt water, nothing for children. This needs an update, really..
- Breakfast is ok, but for 14 EUR per person you can have a very nice meal in the beach restaurant (children 5+ must pay!)
- very limited parking, if you rent a car, to find a parking spot becomes a daily nightmare
- 600 rooms means there is never quiet
- the evening "amusement" program is a tragicomedy. It's like the worst 10 hired from a talent show (Yes, I am talking about you, "Michael Jackson")
For sleeping only and spending the whole day outside on the beach, an ideal hotel. Don't expect more!
Pro-tip: ask for a room not overlooking the pool area

Excellent location, but bar and food not as good as expected. Rooms cleaned every day. Lack of utensils for self catering, could do with kettle and toaster. Asked about a kettle and was told maid would bring to room, never happened so had to boil water in pan all week. Shower fab. Friendly reception but disappointed with having to pay for sunbeds although cheaper than ones on beach.

I had a fabulous time here, and I will return. Everything was perfect, especially as a solo traveller. The pool was great, my room overlooked it so I swam every morning. The entertainment in the evening was brilliant, singers, musicians and dancers. What more can you ask for? I didn't get a chance to try the food, but it looked fine and was inexpensive. Lovely staff in all areas.

Rooms are basic, but clean, and have air con. Location is great, right on the beach front. Hotel feels like it's straight out of the 80s, sunbeds are oddly on grass, but we did not like the look of the pool so did not use it. We assumed the pools would have grass and mud in.
Breakfast left a lot to be desired, my partner and I don't eat meat, and I am a vegan, I don't expect my needs catered for but the vegetable options were lacking, I believe I had beans on toast. No hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms. Nothing looked particularly nutritious. Dinner menus didn't look appealing. We recommend Tudor rose for breakfast but there are plenty of cheap options nearby.
Despite this lots of people seemed to enjoy it, mostly older people. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Not really a hotel for a young couple.

Just back from 14 nights in our happy place Bajondillo Apartments. As usual everything was terrific. Our request for a particular room was granted. The staff, location, room, and cleanliness were great. Can't wait to visit again next year.
