Sol Principe

Great beach front location. Spacious room, even though we were in an economy room. Excellent breakfast with wide variety of food.

Very slow check in.

Fantastic value for our short...

Great beach front location. Spacious room, even though we were in an economy room. Excellent breakfast with wide variety of food.

Manager of the hotel is professional in solving any issues with our booking.

Some receptionist don't show any professionalism. They should hire employees that know how to speak english. Its difficult if you don't speak spanish.

Hotel was well equipped and the room was spacious.

Unfortunately the pool was closed which we were not aware of when we made the booking.

Clean hotel, helpful staff. Good food breakfast and dinner.

Big group came day 2 must have been 300 people. Took over lobby and bar day and night. Very loud talking in our hallway and in dining room. Long line ups at coffee machine. Had to leave balcony door open as warm temps and no air conditioning.

The staff were amazing as I was initially put in a room which was next door to several loud children. When I explained that I was there by myself for a nice quiet holiday they immediately moved me to a perfect more private room, which I really appreciated.

I was ill towards the end of my holiday and it was definitely food related. Not sure if any other visitors had an issue, but not a nice way to end my stay. Sometimes with buffet meals you do have to worry about food being fresh as sometimes it sits for longer than it should.

The bar staff were very friendly. The room was ok however a little dated although clean. Fresh towels every day. The weather was not good enough to use the pools although they looked fine. Gate from the hotel onto the sea front was well used.

The evening entertainment was geared at the older generation - we are not quite there yet. Ballroom dancing every night is not for all. The breakfast menu tried to cater for all and didn't quite work. As we were in Spain I would expect a Spanish breakfast. Far too much choice which diluted the quality.

Location next to beach and sumptuous breakfast was excellent.

Small tub and hard to shower.

Room was very clean and comfortable. Shower pressure good and plenty of hot water. Loved the big bathtub. Breakfast was good and plenty of choices . We visited in January so it was quiet with no queues. We would stay here again

We wasnt told that we could hire a kettle for tea/coffee in the room. We saw a notice in the lift but it was too late and the room only had 1 plug point

The pools and location to beach were great. Pools are not heated, so a bit on the freezing side.

While was great, not sure if it was the time.of year, end of October, the hotel was like walking onto a Cruise Ship of Retirees. Average age was 60+ Not what we were expecting when we arrived.

The garden was lovely. Good breakfast, clean.

Very noisy at the breakfast buffet! The beds could be softer.

Facilities and convenience

Didn’t like presence of photographers at meal times

Outside bars were nice and inside lovely and cool, lots of good entertainment, but also lots of consideration for folk with youngsters, pools were great, with kids pools also

Had booked a twin room and was given a double. Having to quieting at hot plates, maybe have 2 sittings.

Clean and good food

People reserving sun beds. Should not be allowed

The bread wasn't fresh a lot of the time and we had to wait a while for staff to bring us some more and even then it wasn't crispy.

Facilities for kids

Food

Great location, our over looked the swimming pools and kids loved that. Fact that you could no longer use floats in the pool was tough to swallow, so we sent most of the time at the beach. The service, food ,facilities and entertainment was really nice. Really enjoyed our stay at Sol Principe.

Sometimes the food was a bit hit and miss with taste. Plates and glasses could have been cleaner. A little bit busy and can be quite noisy at night when there’s a show on.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and polite.A special mention for the bar staff who were very good and never had to wait very long for drinks.

At certain times,mainly lunchtime, the food selection in the restaurant was very average.The food choices were quite poor.Decided to eat out many lunchtimes.

Breakfast was lovely good spread of food each morning. Pool was good, loved the location and how close we were to everything

Beds are not particularly comfy woke up with back ache every morning. They want u to pay for the safe in room that should be included in the price. U don’t get towels for free to use by the pool (even if ur all inclusive u still have to pay for them!)

Location

Very crowded

The location was so good, so near to the beach, to town and to plaza mayor. Pool was huge and clean. Breakfast was so various and delicious.

Inside Parking was expensive. If you’re planning to park outside for free, be sure you have enough time to look for it, especially in summer period.

I liked the room I was in after I upgraded!!

The food was really really bad .. breakfast was poor the hotel advertised a good breakfast that was not the case. The quality of the products so cheap some of the food was inedible. The room I was occupying initially did not have good facilities ie kettle, iron not even a drinking glass for that kind of money nearly £800 for 4 nights this is not good. Management where not negotiable and I have to pay another £250 to upgrade even though I said I did not want the food included ...

The pool area etc was excellent, the room how ever was extremely basic givin the price. The bed was also very uncomfortable FYI

just the room,

Staff were helpful and friendly. The evening entertainment was of a good standard and was indeed entertaining. The breakfast selection was broad and varied.

We booked for 3 people and were told we would have a room with an extra bed. We didn't realise that that would mean that the original pieces of furniture in what was a small double room would be moved out of position so as to make them at best awkward to use and at worse unusable. We felt that we were crammed into a space that was not suited to three people. If we had realised that this was the case we would have booked an alternative hotel.

Food was really tasteless, very poor selection of fresh vegetables for breakfast. The reception calculated a wrong price at the check-in and 2 days later we were locked out of our room becuse of not paying the price difference immediately. This was very surprising, especially that our stay was covered by credit card and the room fee was pre-paid. Of cource we paid the small difference but still a bad experience and poor customer service.

Great size pools to choose from.

The hotel is really for spanish guests only. Other nationalities are welcome of course but all events are catered for the mainland Spanish guests. Pool area and sun loungers are never washed down. Leaves the pool area looking very unhygienic.

Nice place to stay close to airport and fun parks and sea

Asked for a microwave to be put in room when I booked 3 weeks before I came booked 6 July to 13 July get email on 7 July to say no to microwave. Fell like you want till you get paid to say no . Not happy ☹️

I loved the location, 2 minutes walk to the beach. And 10 minutes walk to the city centre. Food was excellent, a huge variety of food! Swimming pools were also excellent for kids. Overall it was a great hotel.

Our mattresses weren’t comfortable at all. Also it was full of children and it was very very loud, as a first time parent I won’t recommend this hotel. But if you don’t mind the noise it’s a perfect place to stay at.

Lication

Food not good at all, no sense of respect of other cultures and food choices.

Nice hotel, nice location

The full board package wasn't include any of soft drinks or even normal water with the meals.

Good range of swimming pools

Service in the dining hall was poor on occasion, food was of reasonable quality however this often ran out , long quest for food from time to time and the cost of a bottle of water 500 ml at 2.60e was excessive

Nice pool and beach is really at walking distance.

Room was not at floor indicated, but one floor above, as there were some stairs to make to reach this floor with no elevator connection. Moreover, there was a lot of noise around, from the cleaning staff, as the room was basically next to the staff room.

We picked the property as it had on site parking and it was close to Malaga airport where we had to return the hire car. It was easy to get to both hotel and airport which alleviates some stress driving in unfamiliar surroundings. The hotel is across the road from the beach where you can hire sun lounges for the day. Plenty of restaurants close by to walk to if you prefer not to eat at the hotel with the hoard of other guests. This is a large hotel and there were lots of tourists so if you prefer a quiet stay I wouldn’t suggest Sol Principe. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful. This property would be perfect for families who don’t want to venture far from the room, pool, restaurants, bar and kids activities.

It was very busy when we were there. It was hard to find a spot by one of the lovely pools if you were a late arrival.

Hotel was lovely...fantastic pool and facilities. Most Staff were very helpful and friendly. Kids club and activities were great. Room floor could have been cleaner...alot of dust and dirt!! But clean towels every day which was great when you're with kids! And fresh sheets during the week also

floor in room to be swept and mopped daily would have been great! Our feet were black....we had to wear shoes all the time

Beach front location

NO TEA AND COFFEE

The pool area and lobby were nice. Good location right on the promenade of Torremolinos. Good buffet. 10 minutes from airport and 15 minutes from downtown Malaga.

Very crowded, so breakfast buffet was somewhat difficult to get a seat and pool had no available lounge chairs.

I like the pool and the extra longer at the pool need some more longers and breakfast was good

Nut ting all good

Sun and nice walks along beach the back pool was lovely and quiet to relax

Noise in the restaurant was like been back at school

Breakfast was good

The dinner was poor, mostly seafood

Hotel is well connected to the airport, you can take either uber or train, a good connection to Malaga-it takes only 20 min by train. If you want a quiet holiday Sol Principe is a perfect place.

Quality of the rooms can be improved giving the fact that it is a 4-star hotel

I like that hotel situated 1 min from the beach, fresh pineapples and watermelon on breakfast and dinner, grass area near the pool, plenty of space near the pool so you do not have to fight for the space. In general recommend hotel. Good value for money especially comparing with other hotels in neighbourhood.

I hate bed and especially pillow, it was very very very very uncomfortable. No robes in the rooms, but on hotel pictures it was shown, staff said that you have to have higher class room or something like that.
