My second stay here the last being in 2017 and found this stay to be just as enjoyable as my last stay. The building is an imposing structure atop the cliffs above the beach which gives fantastic views up and down the coast. The entrance to the complex is through a security gate which can be an issue if you arrive by car as you don’t get the fob to open the gates until you check in but I was aware of this and the walk from the gate to the apartment isn’t very long even with bags. The location is great being a short walk to the centre of Torremolinos and while it is up high above the beach there is path through some bungalows that takes you down to an elevator that takes you down to the beach and more importantly brings you back up. My apartment this time was 310 which was an interesting apartment being larger than the previous apartment I stayed in before and had been renovated but I would say that was a while back and was showing its age but was clean and comfortable but some of the furniture really needs replacing. From what I understand each apartment is individually owned so the furnishings are chosen by the owner so the décor of each apartment is dependent upon the owner. My apartment was spacious, had one bedroom, two bathrooms, laundry facilities and by the look of the building once had a balcony which has now been enclosed but had windows that could be opened. The kitchen was well equipped but over time I guess things got broken they were replaced so a lot of things didn’t match not that it was a big issue and each apartment would vary. Lots of small issues with the apartment like the sliding shower door didn’t slide very well, the a/c unit in the bedroom had been dripping and had stained all the books under it and lots of bits and pieces all over the apartment that shows that it is owned by someone and not a corporate owned apartment complex. My room was at the end of the corridor and looked down on the beach and north up the coast to Malaga and guests get a key which you can use to take the lift down to the beach and back which saves you the full walk up and down. The property has some lovely grounds with plenty of sun lounges and a huge pool but one annoying thing is that despite this being a holiday area the pool has ridiculously short hours something like noon to 5 or 6pm when I was there in May but they do open a little longer June and extend again in July but the weather in May was beautiful and having to wait until noon is frustrating. I had a car during my stay and never had a problem getting parking at the property which is a bonus. The staff at the front desk were an absolute delight particularly the English lady who was often on duty. This is a really good apartment option in Torremolinos, though not perfect but I have already booked to return next year.

“Great views”

Myself and my daughter stayed in 1102 on 11th floor for 5 nights the views from a large balcony are amazing but the balcony furniture was dirty and old. The beds are comfortable. There was no hot weather in shower only warm for about 5 mins I told a girl in reception on my second day but nothing was done about it. Some renovations going on so drilling started around 9am so don't be expecting a lie here in the mornings. Fairly close to bars and restaurants. Pool closed this time of year. Walls are paper thin so you do hear everything from your neighbours. Old washing machine opened at top we could not use. The apt needs renovations. Train to airport less than 30 mins. No tea/coffee or welcome pack. Old towels needs replacing. Sliding doors to bathroom very little privacy.
