Sol Aloha Puerto

Just Returned home from this hotel , had a great holiday no thanks to this hotel. The hotel was not bad much more catered to the older generation. Staff were not very pleasent. Got Up to our room and opened the door to find an earldery couple sitting on their sofa in our allocated room ( frights all round) . After that was eventually sorted we were given a twin room when a double was requested we were also greeted with a broken light hanging down from the ceiling wires on show. Not exactly what we were expecting from our so called 4* hotel. The situation with sun loungers was diabolical , if your werent up by half 6 to put out you towel yoo were on the floor =)) !! Also wasted countless euros on broken pool tabels and vending machines in the hotel. Breakfast Had a good variety of food diner on the other hand was dissapointing lived on chips for nine nights. Hope this is helpful.

Excellent, would definitely go back. I can't fault the food, the room was good with separate bedroom to living area. Great if youve got kids to put to bed. Good location, within walking distance of marina and a good range of bars close by.

This hotel is in the best possible location, You have the nice bars and restaurnts in the harbour a few minutes away, just out the front of the hotel lots of pubs and kareoke bars - a short walk (5mins) to 24hour square.Hotel is right on the beach Larry's bar does the best sangria and sun loungers only 4Euros. Hotel rooms have a bedroom ,bathroom and seperate living room very large, rooms cleaned daily hotel staff very friendly and helpful.

First time at this hotel and it was as good as any we have stayed at. Food was varied and delicious although waiter service a bit over-attentive! The rooms were large and consisted of lounge with bed settee, double bedroom with en-suite bathroom(good shower) and small kitchenette area with (free) fridge. Safety deposit box is 11 Euros for the week including 3 Euros refundable deposit. Pools are large and quite deep but cold! The small games room requires attention particularly the ripped carpet around the table tennis table and equipment was not in good condition. Evening entertainment was acceptable aimed more towards elderly guests but bar prices on the steep side (Best to take advantage of the Happy hours during the day). All in all a good clean well positioned hotel with decent food and great rooms worthy of its 4* rating. Booking through Alpharooms was also hassle free.

We have just returned from a 9 day holiday. Fantastic location close to the Marina and the beach is just outside the hotel gate. The food was very good. The rooms were lovely and spacious and the maid service was the best I have come across. Will definatley stay here again. Lastly thanks again alpharooms for a great deal, the best price around.

Excellent value, position, standard hotel again, this being our third year there. Right next to the Marina which is always bustling and fun at night. The hotel rooms spacious and spotless & rooms cleaned daily. Staff helpful. There is some outside noise late at night since the locals party on the promenade till the early hours. Toilet flushing can be heard from neighbouring rooms but no more so than other 4* hotels we have stayed in. All in all, excellent value for money, will always be happy to return at the drop of a hat! Hard to beat for position, quality and price! Looking forward to our next visit.

This hotel is always extremely good value. Situated close to the Marina on the promenade and with a good choice of food close to a number of popular watering/eating holes. We have now stayed here 5 times and we are never disappointed. The staff are consistently helpful and very attentive. The bedrooms are suites and have a fridge which is a luxury (you need to purchase 20 items to set up the fridge - 20 euros). There's plenty of space in the bedrooms and the Maid Service superb.

My partner and I have just come back from a 4 day break at the hotel. First impressions are welcoming. Food is plentiful and enough variety to suit all tastes, staff helpful. Being April, the hotel was not busy so there were available sunbeds around the pool but would be a 5am towels on beds in high season. Our room was clean but the furniture was in need of updating. My biggest moan is the very poor standard of insulation between rooms and floors. You could hear other toilets being flushed. Also staying at the side of the building, you can hear karoke from the bars in the streets 8 floors below. The windows need to be double glazed. Perfect location for the beach with the Marina closeby which is worth going to for drinks or dinner.

we were very pleased with our stay in sol aloha puerto the staff were really nice very friendly, pool was lovely and rooms and surroundings were kept very clean the food was excellent plenty of choice .the only complaint was the beds are primative very un comfortable we have found this to be the case were ever we go in spain they would be best described as what you would expect in a youth hostel rather than a four star hotel ,however it didnt put us off the place we would go there again its a great location

This was my sixth christmas in Torremolinos, though first time in this hotel, but always on the same area. This is final Hotel on the side of Torremolinos. After couple of meters there will be the border of Benalmadena. Well, that´s really just trivial information. Hotel is recommendable; it is clean, the staff is very professional and nice, the situation is I would say among the best, if you want to stay on the beach-area. I dropped the last star away firstly because hotel isn´t anymore quite new and it needs some modernification and secondly because even the restaurant has huge selection of foods it kind of needs help from Gordon Ramsay. I mean that especially the warm foods weren´t on the level of the hotel and also the restaurant should also be modernified to more homely place. But service is very good, also the room-service works fine. At this time of year the customers of the hotel were mostly olderly people, but that equals to whole Torremolinos at winter time. Even so, the hotel offered different kind of entertainment for kids (and for the rest also) at daytime and shows like flamenco and even something more daring (drag-queens) for adults at evening. The hotel is worth of trying, I propably will stay my next christmas-time again in Sol Aloha Puerto.

Hotel was very clean and pleasant-food very wide and varied choice- rooms spacious and well equipped-pool lovely- the only dowside is that we had a room overlooking the road with the various bars and clubs and this was very noisy until the early hours resulting in disturned sleep with the noise!! so beware- suggest you ask for pool side rooms to avoid the noise... hope this has been helpful---

Have just returned from a week long stay at this hotel which was very relaxing. The location is second to none overlooking the sea and very close to the marina at Benalmadena. There is a lovely promenade to walk along into Torremolinos also with lots of restaurants and bars along the way. There is a lot to do in the area for families you have got Paloma Park in Benalmadena which is a very beautiful park with peacocks strutting around. There is also Tivoli World theme park and countless other attractions, too many to list. The hotel itself was lovely and very clean, our room was cleaned daily with clean towels provided. The restaurant was great with a good selection of food and we didn't have any problems finding something for our 4 year old to enjoy, who in particular loved the pancakes each morning. The hotel also has a happy hour each day which we only found out about on our last day, a shame. The rooms are lovely with a separate living area with a fridge which was great. The TV did show mainly Spanish channels however there was sky news, bbc news 24 and also BBC 1 which was not listed as one of the channels but we found it. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and great with our son and gave him sweets every night on leaving the restaurant. All in all a great hotel with great food in a brilliant location and we thought it was an absolute bargain booking through Alpha Rooms.

Just returned from a 4 night break at this hotel and very much enjoyed the stay. The hotel is in 3 blocks - block 3 has the best views,and we were on the 8th floor of block 2.We had good views and the room was clean although some of the fittings,particularily the TV were ancient. Food was of a high standard with plenty of choice.Staff were efficient and some of them friendly also. To get a sunbed around the pool is not possible unless yoy are up at dawn.There are also gardens which have sunbeds but no umbrellas which when the temperature is 29Deg C means you will fry if you are not carefull.There is however an excellent beach 20 metres away so you can hire 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for 8 euros. The hotel has a fantastic location next to the marina of Benalmadena.A nightly walk around this area is a delight especially when you can feed the fish who literally climb over themselves to get at bread thrown in the water. Overall an excellent hotel and we will probably return for a longer stay next year.

The hotel is set in a great location only minutes from the promenade and a short stroll to the marina.Great choice of food and good quality.The rooms are top quality almost like a small appartment with a living area and separate bedroom.The TV has several English channels including BBC1.Externally it has 2 pools one of which is heated.On the down side when the hotel is full finding a sunbed can be difficult so get down early.Overall assessment 4* and it is.Enjoy

Keep it brief. Excellent spacious rooms which are well air conditioned. Location is superb ,right on beach next to Benalmadena harbour. Food is excellent and a good choice. Pool area is a bit dated and need to get up by 7am to get a sun bed. Dont let that bother you though great beach right ouitside hotel.

We had a lovely holiday at the Puerto Sol. When we first arrived we were put in a room that had not been refurbished , after we complained they changed us the next day to a much better room , so if your unhappy COMPLAIN. The food was very good with plenty to choose from each day. The entertainment at night was good , the Flamenco night was excellent.You need to be early to get a sunbed , we went down at 7.30 to secure our beds. The staff were very helpful and friendly and I would definitely go there again.

From the moment we arrived at the hotel it was the beginning of a wonderful holiday for us. We had a lovely room we especially liked the extra living room to chill out in they were nice clean spacious rooms. We were handy for all the lovely walks and
the marina was close by, the staff at hotel were helpful & friendly, we would definitely go back again and we would recommend it to our friends. Well Done.

stayed here twice . hotel location and food excellent.rooms clean hotel staff work hard . my wife had her hand bag stolen outside the hotel and it has to be said the reception staff could have been a little more helpful so beware of youths on motorcycles.that could probably happen anywhere these days and would not put me off returning.

Just got back from the Sol Aloha Puerto.This is a first class hotel well worthy of its 4* status.The location is fabulous,right on the beach and 200metres from the Benalmadena Marina.We went with other family and friends 20 people in total.The food was first class with something for everyone including small children who also formed part of our group.From Carvery each night as well as show cooking of a variety of fish and also omlettes and other culinary delights in the morning.The hotel was immaculately clean and the outdoor heated pool wasa a bonus at this time of year ( Feb).The staff were very polite and helpfull.Would ertainly go back and recommend to others.We looked at some other hotels in the area including other Sols which were nowhere near as nice.

Food excellent, rooms very good but would request a non-smoking one if you are a non smoker. All hotel lacks is folder of places to visit locally but by talking to others and the tourist info I found all the info I needed.

Excellent Hotel. Rooms were clean. Food top class.The staff were all polite and very helpful at all times.
There was entertainment during the day and good shows on in the
evening. Our room overlooking the marina was a little noisy due to the disco in the night.However I would not hesitate to book this Hotel again.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Sol Aloha Puerto, and same as the time before I have no complaints. They have a great selection of foods, the rooms are kept tidy and clean at all times. The hotel is situated within reach of quite a good selection of bars, and the hotel bar and entertainment is good. This is a good hotel for people with young babies looking for a relaxing holiday, as the vast majority of people here are of the older generation (still now how to enjoy themselves though!!)
