Ecuador Park Apartments
Spain, Europe
Torremolinos
Take a little trip outside the bustling heart of Torremolinos and you'll find some excellent places to stay. The Ecuador Park Apartments is a cosy little complex situated in a quieter part of the city – on the Benalmadena side of Torremolinos. Being out of the city means that you don't have to pay city prices; it also means that you get a different perspective on Torremolinos. The Ecuador Park Apartments are close to the marina – and to a host of excellent shops, bars and restaurants. There are some real finds here – and they'll all feel that bit more exclusive than the same-old city centre haunts.
Occupying a quiet spot near the marina, the Ecuador Park Apartments offers excellent, affordable accommodation:
Stay at the Ecuador Park Apartments and you can still dip in and out of the city with ease, or enjoy the quieter environs of the Benalmadena district. The beach is never far away, while the picturesque marina is really worth a visit too. Another one of the great advantages to staying at the Ecuador Park Apartments is the excellent swimming pool. It really is a beautiful pool and it's surrounded by a sun terrace and features a poolside bar. You can quite easily spend several hours by the pool, taking a dip, enjoying the sun… Or you can sit and just take it easy with a long, cool drink at the bar.
The poolside bar really is the hub. Whether you're swimming or not, it's a great place to get-together with other holidaymakers. The bar serves snacks throughout the day, so you really can make a bit of a day of it. Or if you fancy a change of scene, La Carihuela Beach is just 100 metres away. Accommodation at the Ecuador Park Apartments comprises fully-fitted studio apartments. Each comes with its own kitchen, combined living room/bedroom, and private bathroom. Additional features include satellite TV, safe boxes (with deposit and for a small fee) and telephone. One bedroom apartments with separate living rooms are also available at a supplement, and can accommodate up to four people.
With so much activity centred around the pool, there's a real community feeling at the Ecuador Park Apartments that you won't find at many hotels. And that makes it a great choice for anyone who really enjoys a truly sociable holiday.

Nothing superior about it
DO NOT BOOK A SUPERIOR STUDIO Wont be staying here again. Photos attached, the balcony ( if you can call it that because it is incredibly small) the fan for the air-conditioning takes up most of the room on the balcony and gives off heat. So no romantic meal on there if you are planning one. And for the view it was just a block tower apartments. We did ask for a change of room but were told they were fully booked. Dirty walls, dirty chairs, no mirror on the desk ( if you need to do your makeup ) We had to stick with a shower were the door was broke and had to squeeze in there, the shower changes temperature from hot to cold. The plug hole filled with back water and gave off a foul smell through the sink. We were on the top floor and ended up walking up and down the steps because thw lift would pick and choose when it wanted to work. Only bonus was the location but thats about it.

Perfect location and experience!
Our 1st visit here and was really positive. We had apartment 210, ground floor in the corner. It was spacious and well equipped. The beds were comfortable, as was the sofa and chairs in the lounge. It was very clean, inside and out. The weather was quite cool on the days we were there and we used the heat setting on the air con units which was very good and warmed the rooms well during the evenings. The shower was a proper built cubicle up from the floor that didnt leak out onto the floor ( quite rare in my experience) and water temp and pressure was good. The cleaning staff kept all areas and floors very clean and the pool area was the same. Reception staff were also very friendly and helpful. For us, the location was perfect, lots of shops to get supplies nearby. The beach front , restaurants and bars all a 2 minute walk away. Benalmadena is a 10 minute walk away, with a beautiful marina, well worth a visit or two! We walked alot around Torremilinos and tried many shops, bars and restaurants. There is so much choice, even in march and if you love seafood the choices are endless. Many restaurants offering happy hour and serving great cocktails! We have already booked equador park again for next year as its perfect for us. We went as a holiday package with easyjet and it really was worth every penny.

Be carefull
Be carefull if you book an accessible apartment, the bathroom floors are very slippy. and the handrails next to the toilet are in the up position. i didn't know this when i nearly lost my balance and went to grab it. the handrail went down, and i went down with it. i passed out for i dont know how long, and woke up in a pool of blood. with no recollection of what happened until 3 days later. now i have flashbacks of the pain i felt when my head hit the stone floor. if they fix the bathrooms, i will remove my review.
Great location - but apartments could be better !
Had a great holiday here a couple of years ago so had no hesitation in rebooking with Jet2. This booking was for a SUPERIOR apartment. Very disappointed to discover the flat was in a block with NO LIFT access. Apparently there is only one block which has a lift (which only stops at half landings). If you are allocated a flat on the 4th floor you have approx. 64 steps to reach it ! The sofa in the living room was very heavily stained. There were cracked tiles on the balcony and the plaster on the balcony ceiling was hanging off in places. The only difference I could see from the standard 1 bed apartment was a larger kitchen and it contained a fridge freezer. Only 1 electric socket in the kitchen. Making tea and toast was a two stage procedure. The toaster was 'open style' - an accident waiting to happen. No hair dryer in apartments but you can borrow one from reception. Room was serviced every second day. Lovely wee pool. 24 hour reception. Found staff to be very helpful. Security box in apartment. 20 euros for a week. These apartments are in a great location, so handy for everything, minutes away from the beach - lots of bars and eateries on your doorstep but in a quiet location. Overall I was disappointed with the SUPERIOR apartment and unfortunately I would probably not return due to the fact there are no lifts.

Disappointing
When we arrived the lady on reception didn't even acknowledge us for five minutes as she was looking at her computer screen. Booked a deluxe apartment for 11 nights, and I can see why people comment it's dated. The kitchen drawers didn't open or close properly, none of the cutlery matched, no chopping board, no place mats or coasters, tea towels were old and degrained. We didn't need it cleaning that often, but the cleaners forgot to change a pillow case and bed sheet on one occasion, and didn't leave fresh toilet rolls. The plug on the iron was in bits when we arrived and we had to ask for a replacement. Outside is very clean, pool area and surrounds, and very quiet. Plenty of sunbeds, but two men still put towels down every day at 10.00 and then disappeared for four or five hours. Two big balconies at front and side of apartment, lovely views of sea. Well and comfortably furnished, plenty of storage, and a great shower. We've stayed in La Carihuela many times in the past, but don't think we'll be staying here again.
