Poor
The location was great with access from the hotel straight to the beach. The facilities around the hotel were amazing and they had live entertainment every evening till late. They had multiple pools to cater for all types of people this also insured less crowding at all times
Before my arrival I informed the hotel that we were coming for our honeymoon and when we arrived they had done nothing for it. We got to our room to find our sea view balcony with no view. I then went to put my valuables into the safe and was horrified to find that they charge to use it per day. When I went into the bathroom I noticed that they didnt have the regular toiletries that you find in hotels instead they put large soap and shampoo dispensers on the wall and claimed it was because of covid which in my eyes is worse for hygiene purposes. I was disappointed that the aircon wasnt functioning properly and when the technician came round to check it he said it's working perfectly. I changed rooms mid stay and found that the aircon unit there was working much better so in the original room the aircon was faulty!!

I WENT THERE LAST YEAR AND STILL LOVE THE HOTEL IT WAS PERFECT BUT COULD NOT BUT NOTICE THE LACK OF ENTERTAINMENT AS THE 2 SISTER HOTELS WE,NT OPEN I ASSUME DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.THIS DID EFFECT THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE PLACE. I ALSO FOUND THE GYMS WERE CLOSED,THIS WAS AMUST FOR ME
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES I WAS GLAD TO SEE IT OPEN AS IT IS FOR ME THE BEST HOTEL IN THE STRIP
Good
Space pool bar snacks
Its a good complex even with covid 19 we still felt as if we were on a good relaxing holiday
Amazing view from the balcony! Proximity from the beach. Very comfortable beds and duvets Modern, very clean.
I could hear the person next door coughing through the wall but it was not enough to stop me sleeping.

Fabulous airy bar and communal areas. Room was clean and modern, great shower and lovely sunny balcony. Great outdoor spaces, no challenge for sun beds, free use of towels. Food very good in buffet, tasty dishes with a good variety
We chose all inclusive to take advantage of pool bar but this didn’t open until day 3 of our 5 day holiday. The pool opened on our last day, although there was another we could use. Staff aloof, as if you were a bother.
Location right next to the beach. Indoor and outdoor pool. Professional and high quality evening Programme. Extensive breakfast albeit extremely loud room at peak times.
Rooms only superficially clean. Upon closer inspecture dust in corners etc. The air in the room was very stiffy. Beds not too comfortable
Great spaces for reading. Lovely shows at night. Staff is friendly.
If you love football dont go there. They only have one TV and will rarely show games outside of Spain. Also that TV is on internet and often freezes. Outside football it is a wonderful hotel.
Nice breakfast choices, good decor in bedrooms, nice bar, and pleasant staff.
No tea or coffee making facilities inside the room. A 4 star property should offer these. A kettle to rent was available for 2 euros per day....seems very silly and annoys guests to no good end.
great location
As above
Excellent breakfasts and dinners, nice staff at the restaurant. Rooms are comfortable, cleaning was allright. Helpful receptionists.
Check in takes ages even when we came at 11p.m. and we were the only people at the reception desk. It was impossible to pay for a late check out
Friendly staff great choice of food great refurbishment
Check in was a bit slow Room floor not mopped when room was cleaned
Clean comfortable great location rooms serviced every day
Reception Staff nor friendly Bar drinks expensive Food average No top up of tea and coffee even in superior rooms Internal connecting door into the room next door Heating in the room didn’t work Asked at reception three times for maintenance to have a look No one came Last three nights slept with bath robes on the bed
Everything. It was the best hotel in the area.
That we couldn't stay for longer
Very clean, big, comfortable rooms with friendly staff who were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent with a good length of time available. The location is great , a short walk to the centre but in a quiet location. The outside space is also well cared for.
Nothing, everything was perfect
Very friendly hotel , spotless , so clean and beds very comfy , lovely grounds and pools , felt very safe , good entertainment in bar every night , breakfast was superb , lovely views from balconey
Non existent air conditioning , reception staff lovely except for one man who I wont name and shame , he could not be bothered, everyone else was lovely
Location Clean Food lovely Staff fantastic
Breakfast was nice
Reception staff weren't very friendly or welcoming. And were quite slow, so long waits to check in and out.

A fabulous stay all round no problem with anything the rooms where fabulous the food excellent only 1 grip the weather but as we all know that’s beyond any ones control !!
Nothing !!
Variety of food is amazing , half board is more then enough
I felt down from 1m height right close to the hotel within hotel’s territory as that area was not enough lighted up. I was lucky that I didn’t break any bones
Communal areas, shower...food good choice and excellent by mass catering standards...
No English TV...Restaurant staff poor (esp men)
The hotel decor was amazing Food was good with plenty of choice Indoor pool was lovely Location great with good views. Most of staff are friendly Rooms and beds so relax. Great chilled atmosphere
There is nothing that I didn't like. But our check in process was quite long. Also it would be nice if cleaners swept and mopped the room floor as this wasn't done for the time we were there. Not a criticism though Just constructive feedback
Very comfortable bed, curtain with black out lining for good night sleep
Excellent , freshly cooked eggs/omelettes large selection of hot and cold foods , good selection of fruit
indoor pool has badly damaged tiled area, that looks like it has been that way for some time/ locker room has no lockers/steps into pool quite dirty. Minimal amount of wash product in bathroom ie combined shower and hair gel (no conditioner)was awful on hair! No kettle /coffee facilities in room. No drinking water in room.
Lovely decor. Lots of different areas to relax in. Fantastic location with easy access to the prom and the town. Security gates. Efficient staff.
Wet room style shower which meant floor was wet, making it hard to replace towels. Plus nowhere to put toiletries eg a shelf. A shame because the bathroom looked lovely. Restaurant food was just warm (used the microwave.)
There was no halal food.
Breakfast was great, big variety of everything. Great entertainment every night. Spacious and big hotel. Great massage at the neighbour hotel.
I would prefer a proper door to the bathroom. The sliding doors did not give much privacy. Otherwise great bathroom and facilities in the room.
Close to the beach and walkways of Torremolinos. This is a great area to walk or bike. The hotel had a heated pool and large terrace to sunbath. Lawn bowling was available and a small gym set up with bikes and exercise equipment. The Staff were friendly and available if needed. Access around the facility was good, lots of elevators and wheelchair friendly.
The rooms were not 4 star quality and the first suggestion from the registration was to upgrade because the room I booked was overlooking a parking lot. So they upgraded to an adjoining room that I could have a view of the sea. (17 Euros). The adjoining part wasn’t mentioned so I had to change rooms again for some peace and quiet. That side never saw the sun! That was another upgrade. (25 Euros) The room I ended up in had very uncomfortable bed and chairs etc. There was a safe in the room but it also cost 2 Euros to use. It’s all about marketing I guess. I would suggest that you go and look at your room before commiting to an upgrade.
Unconsiderate staff
The new year gala dinner was sooooo bad, better they made a buffet at all don’t sit there and wait when is the food came. Poor planning of the event.
Excellent facilities within hotel. Indoor pool a bit small and no designated times for children/length swimming so pot luck. Very helpful Reception and cleaning staff.
See above.
Location
Very modern refurbished good
Nice food
I wouldn't have changed anything
Great location, very clean, beautiful complex.
Room was too hot in night, had to open balcony door
Very clean and tidy. Excellent service and facilities. Staff very friendly and helpful
Nothing at all
Room was a good size Bed comfortable Amazing shower , Food varied
Location and the view we had was a Ocean view and well worth the money. Higher floor and Sea view. Massage was nice in SPA - Spa is small and not much there. Bar was ok.... Mostly Older travel groups... so music geared toward Seniors and locals..
Food in the restaurant was sub standard... cheap food. We had bought half board and decided not to use it and ate breakfast only some days. Eat at the beach locations... Great Sushi place.. Tiki...or other local Places... much better food.
Amazing hotel, with regular cleaning, very friendly staff, really helpful. It was a very comfortable stay. Fun night entertainment. The hotel is just next to the beach, train stop is about 10 minutes walk. I would like to return for sure!
Beds could be more comfortable, but they are ok.
Excellent breakfast with a very wide choice. Very good bread and more doughnuts than it's safe to eat at breakfast!. Good location close to bars and beach-front restaurants. Comfortable bedroom and good bathroom with walk-in shower.
Check-in, although there were only 2 of us and no queue, took ages. Dining room very crowded, busy and noisy at breakfast.
Lots of different restaurants to choose from in the area without having to walk very far.
Super hotel,great facilities and the best location in town
No tea and coffee making facilities in bedroom
Breakfast was super
Breakfasts
Parking fee
The brightness of the new areas
Lovely breakfast - Lots of options. Loads of pools!! Brilliant value for money overall, in a great location on the beach and close to the town centre/train station. Lots of lovely restraints and bars are a stones throw away from the hotel.
Location, friendly staff (except of dinner), well kept pools and surrounding areas, really clean room, great views from the balcony, great variety of food by breakfast and dinner,Halloween decoration and programme...we are coming back in February for the fourth time, because this place is wonderful! :)
Some of the dinner staff were not friendly. Unpleasant smell of drain almost every morning from the bathroom. My favourite Spanish lesson didnt take place (although written in programme).
Most things.
2nd time at the Don Pablo and the check-in system hasn’t changed. First time we were in a cue for an hour, this time we went straight to the desk but it still took 20 minutes to check-in. Please upgrade your computer system !!!!!!
Location was excellent, Everything was very clean. Pools were gorgeous
Staff were not friendly, came across about 2 friendly staff only. We were full board but for lunch there were no drinks available so we had to buy water to drink with our meal.
Fantastic breakfast. Very clean and modern amenities.
great hotel, plenty of choice on the food, evening entertainment and gym classes were great
Could have been some poolside activity in the afternoons
Loved the whole atmosphere of the hotel lovely and relaxing
Excellent lcoation, great pools, the breakfast was amazing - so much choice everyday, room cleaned everday, lovely side sea view with balcony that caught the sun.
Drinks were quite over priced for cocktails which were pre-made. Can get cheaper, fresher drinks 2 minutes away on beach bars
Location service
Very clean. Good location.
No proper sausages for breakfast. Expensive drinks at the bar.
We were all inclusive and found the food very disappointing. I appreciate they are catering for lots of people but it was very repetitive with some choices tasteless. Guests staying at don Marco and don pedro pay less to stay at those hotels but eat at don pablo and use all of the same facilities. If we were to go back we would stay in Marco or pedro, having spoken to other people there we found out we paid twice the price at don pablo than those staying at pedro or Marco. The evening entertainment was good especially the Mama Mia show.
As mentioned above the food really disappointing.
Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. Comfortable bed.
Eggshell in the fried eggs. Toaster too slow causing queues.
Breakfasts, hotel pool(s), bar, services, rooms - everything is top quality
Gym is not that well equipped and no free parking from the hotel (however there is paid one and you can find a free place on the street nearby)
Staff were very friendly and helpful, the pool area was excellent and kept clean breakfast was great and plentiful and the nightly entertainment was great, the room we had was a superior room cleaned every day balcony was lovely also.
Nothing I had a great break
For an all inclusive the range of food was amazing. Both in variety and quality.
We loved everything. The rooms were a great size, very clean and the balcony had an amazing view of the ocean. The food was very great and bar areas out side were amazing.
Our only surprise was that the main pool had a lot of missing tiles (which could be a risk for cut toes). Not sure why sure a great hotel that was otherwise kept up so well would not take care of that.
I thought it was pretty expensive for what it was. I paid £130 for one night with breakfast, which was average at most. The lobby is nice, the room is clean but pretty basic. The bed was ok, not the most comfortable. Mini bar was empty, not even a bottle of water in the room. I arrived at midnight and luckily had the sense to grab a bottle of water from the airport because their room service stops at 10pm so would have been pretty thirsty during the night otherwise. I guess it’s ok but not a hotel I’d rush to go back to
Ideal location right on the sea front. The rooms and public areas have clearly undergone a recent extensive refurbishment and it's like a brand new hotel.
If I was pushed to say something negative about the hotel, I'd say that breakfast was adequate but no more than that. Everything else more than made up for that though.
At first we had difficulty locating the Hotel entrance and thought this was turning out to be a back street location. As soon as we arrived our impression change. The place was beautiful, The front desk very responsive, The room exactly as advertised with a very satisfying air of sparkling cleanliness. The location turned out to be perfect. The Registration entrance was because the the Don Pablo is part of a Melia complex with entrances every where. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
We were slightly miffed that we were reminded three times that we hadn`t booked directly through their web site so we received no points on our Melia rewards account. I`m sorry but they need to get over that. Every year we spend three or 4 months traveling and visit at least 15 or 20 different hotels. The convenience of central booking out ways their rewards plan. This was not a big deal, usually it means we don`t get a free bottle of water.
This hotel is overpriced, considering its location and amenities. The staff was not especially friendly or helpful, although I must say they were overwhelmed by a large number of guests, since it was mid August.
Breakfasts were excellent.Also we would like to thank you for the lovely gestuture of bottle and card on my wifes birthday.
The breakfast
There were red ants in my room it had a really bad smell The room was super expensive and they didn’t want to give me refund if I left and tried to go to another hotel
The location of the hotel was the best for the town centre and the beach. Plenty of free sunbeds around the pools and terraces.
Reception was severely undermanned. The queues were far too long and even the 'priority' check in took as long as the 'non priority' check in. One of the male receptionists was very unhelpful to our friends as they had forgotten to bring their passports. Even though they had plenty of other photo ID he made them feel very uncomfortable with his attitude. The car parking cost at 21€ per day is outrageous.
The breakfast was fantastic! The room was spacious and clean and the location was great!
Check in was a a bit disappointing. I found the staff a bit rude and not welcoming.
The property is modern, with beautiful aesthetics , great facilities and programs. The rooms are modern however, the room did not have kettle or tea bags or a good quality hair dryer. Which I believe is essential considering the price per rooms. The swimming pools, restaurants and grounds are amazing. Easy and simple access to the beach. I absolutely loved the property and grounds, just feel they should offer more ‘homely’ features in the rooms.
The hairdryer isn’t the best, there were no kettles in the rooms and no complimentary teas in the room.
The variety of swimming pools to choose from, breakfast and lunch was excellent, city centre and beach nearby
The Heights of the building have to wait for lift all the time, Like don Pedro and don Marcos better in that respect
- The size of the room was ok, - the first 5 days they changed the sheets every day, then they stopped doing that. Overall, I would say that the cleanliness was good. - The evening shows were nice.
- the staff was not friendly or helpful - lots of cockroach in the kitchen - food was bad
Price was so high over the hotel facilities and rooms expectations.
Bed was very comfy
The food was abit repetetive
Location was good, right on the beach. The food was very decent, no high cuisine but always something good to eat. Rooms were adequately large and clean. The many pools available were great and we found lounge chairs everyday. The staff was always very friendly and nice.
I don't really have any complaints.
Amazing breakfast Great location Close to the beach
Cleaneanes in bathroom
Very happy and friendly place, good facilities good breakfast and the staff are very helpful. Great position along the seafront. Great view from balcony, we were on the 6th floor near the front of the hotel. Lots of entertainment and things going on during the day
People putting towels on the sun loungers early in the morning. Made it hard to find somewhere to sit if you wanted to stay round the pool.
I liked the Hotel lobby area, very bright & clean. Pool facilities were good with a good amount of sun beds available most of the time. Really like the idea where people are not allowed to just go along each morning and place a towel on the sun bed to hold them for the day. Night time entertainment shows were good.
Large Cockroach found in bedroom. Wall in one of our bedrooms was very marked/scuffed and requires fresh painting. Breakfast a little limited, particularly regarding hot food.
Breakfast was good.
Room without glasses ,difficult to drink !!
Clean!
No coffee maker!
The breakfast was excellent. Great variety of food! The location was excellent.
The reception staff were helpful, especially Manuel, who went above and beyond to help us sort our boarding passes.There was a great variety of food for breakfast, something for everyone.The hotel was very clean, the pool was great, and the location was fab.Definetley would go back again.
We missed not having a kettle in the room,or a larger fridge for salad etc.

Fantastic hotel, helpful staff. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Towels and bedding changed throughout the week. So many food choices, something for everyone. Great location. Even have swimming pool towels in the room for you, plenty of toiletries in the bathroom, including sun cream and after sun.
The only thing which would of made the holiday is a kettle in the room.
