Pez Espada

Nice clean hotel, location excellent, food 8/10 Most of staff nice. Not sure I would say it’s for kids though and the lifeguard was very inconsistent with pool rules telling me and kids not to jump in on 2nd day which ruined pool vibe a little, then other days he was throwing little kids in.

Bit of a mixed review from a family of 3.

The hotel and it's grounds are lovely and well maintained. There are lots of rooms but the hotel is still fairly quiet which in a way is a good thing but it also seems that this quietness makes the hotel lack an atmosphere. Although the age range here did seem varied I'd say that it's more geared to those over 60. There isn't anything for kids to do here other than use the pool where the rules are a minefield. On day one we were told we couldn't use the small ball we were playing catch with as it was too hard and people may get hurt if it hit them but then the lifeguard was pushing and throwing children in the pool? On our last day a group of lads were using a full sized leather ball and throwing it here there and everywhere not considering the people their ball was hitting. Another pool rule was no clothes to be worn but there were men swimming in vests and several women were in the pool in full length islamic clothes. The sunbed situation of not reserving beds wasn't enforced and several beds had towels on all day without anyone using them. Saying that I always found a sunbed at various times of the day. Pool was a good size The breakfast was the usual offerings and was of a good standard. There was a man who came round every morning whilst we were eating trying to get us to buy mimosa, although pleasant enough he became annoying. We were only bed and breakfast but didn't upgrade to half board as other guests said there was nothing for children to eat other than chips . There are plenty of restaurants to pick right on the doorstep. We went out every night as the entertainment consisted of various singing acts which was not what kids want to watch. I found it difficult to find an entertainment board and a dinner menu wasn't advertised either, maybe the hotel could address this and people may be more inclined to eat in if they could see what's on offer. The rooms were a good size , the free safe was a bonus. The bathrooms were nice and modern with a powerful walk in shower. Balcony was a good size. Nakissa was very helpful with any issues via what's app. I found the staff pleasant and the location superb. Marina 5 mins to the right and torremolinos centre 15 mins to the left of hotel. Reception would ring taxis when asked.

Despite what's mentioned above I did enjoy my stay, I probably wouldn't book here again though as I'd prefer somewhere that offers more for kids in the way of entertainment. If you want a classy quietish hotel then I'd recommend.
