- Essence Hotel Boutique and Spa by Don Paquito

This welcoming hotel is centrally yet quietly located, only 100 m from the splendid sandy beach of Torremolinos. Shops, bars and restaurants are to be found in the vicinity. Málaga is around 11 km from the hotel, whilst the airport is just 7 km away. Links to the public transport network are in front of the hotel. Renovated in 2005, this superbly situated hotel comprises a total of 66 rooms spread over 5 floors. Guests may make use of the air-conditioned foyer which has public Internet connection. Guests may choose to pay a visit to the cosy bar and the restaurant. Individually and tastefully decorated, the rooms are all air-conditioned and feature a balcony or terrace with views of the sea or pool. There is a swimming pool with sun loungers in the outdoor complex. The nearest golf course is just 3 km away.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

2nd time staying at Essence, great location, great food, modern hotel and mostly the staff is EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!! Looking forward to out next vacation in Torrmolinos.
Lovely hotel in a great location with very attentive staff Lovely breakfast
Lovely boutique hotel, nice rooms, very clean. Paid for a partial sea view but the balcony is on a road with some bars and restaurants opposite so I didn't want to sit outside. Would book pool view next time. 2 minute walk to the beach, walking distance to all restaurants along the beach. Behind the hotel is a road which takes you up to Torremolinos centre, uphill about 10 mins but is doable if you have basic fitness. Loads of shops and cafes etc, also the train station. Large day beds and parasols make it hard to stay in the shade/sun as the day goes on, some couples were taking a day bed each rather than sharing which meant the beds went quite quickly. Pool was not heated as we thought, upstairs jacuzzis were also cold. The larger one down at the pool wasn't working first day but was quickly sorted, and nice temperature. A bit of quiet chill out music would be nice around the pool for a bit of atmosphere.
My sixth visit to this hotel and am never disappointed. Good location, lovely staff, comfortable rooms, great food and a relaxing pool area which is peacefully quiet. Can't find a reason to go anywhere else for a few days of sun, swimming, walking, reading and seafood lunches at some good beach restaurants.
