AluaSun Costa Park

Food constantly running short in the afternoon, constant queues for the bar, guests arguing over parasols because there was not enough of them, being injured by broken parasols

It is a bit off the beaten track but only €10 in a taxi into Torremolinos/Benalmádena and free shuttle bus is available too. Uber is very handy! All inclusive is worth getting, very handy with kids and plenty of choice.... is busy but just have patience, staff always restock. Fresh pancakes and fried eggs every morning at breakfast, cooked as you wait. The staff work tirelessly and deserve to be treated with the upmost respect. Gent who hosts the restaurant (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is so professional and really is super at his job. Makes such an effort with everyone. Bar staff are great fun too and work so hard, they don't get a minute but always friendly and having a laugh with customers. Rooms are fairly standard for a holiday hotel but absolutely no issues. Fresh sheets and towels as often as you need and lovely new balcony table and chairs in each apartment. Sunbeds are difficult to get if your not down early. Is the same as most hotels to be fair, people put towels down and hold beds for the day..... its not policed. Is alot of seating in the snack bar though near the smaller pool so that helps. Snack bar by this pool is handy if you sleep in and miss breakfast! We were very unlucky with the last few days of our stay (not sure if its the norm) but a huge number of the Irish travellers attended and completely took over the hotel. Kids not monitored in the small pool and really causing so many problems. Fighting and knocking and banging into everyone with zero regard or respect. A big fight broke out amongst them one evening and we quickly got an uber out to town to avoid it as it was really inappropriate. I was ashamed of how they behaved, being Irish myself, disgraceful behaviour but was clear it wasn't nothing unusal for them. I feel the hotel did fail in this regard as they should have immediately called the police but we saw no sign of this. I would worry that this could mean its a regular location for this partiular large group who show no respect for staff, other guests and the property. Had we not experienced these issues in our last few days, we would have absolutely returned and had recommended to a number of people but this unfortunately changed our mind.

Hotel is lovely, food wasn’t the best every time we went to the buffet it was empty dishes then it took so long to refill that people would push infront and pile their plates leaving it empty again. We tried going at different times of the evening but it seemed to get worse. There was a large group of Spanish people staying at the hotel that completely ruined the experience for us. They were so rude and ferral. All the staff were amazing.

I dont know what else to say about this hotel it was fantastic since i was a returning client this hotel has exceeded all my expectations in terms of food. Now the entertainment is the same as I remember which was fine for people staying for a week, but in my case I was there for 2 weeks so not too good I would like to see more enforcement though in relation to people smoking near the pool bar though I saw a guy lighting up a cigarette, told him that he was not allowed to smoke in this area but he continued anyway id like to see some kind of punishment for these kinds of people (now I smoke myself but I only do it in the designated areas of the hotel)

We loved our 9 day stay at the hotel. The staff were all very friendly, across the whole hotel. The food was always fresh and hot. The hotel had numerous groups of children of various ages that were competing in nearby football/basketball tournaments, so if did get busy/noisy at times but they never caused us any issues. The animation team were great dancers and put on great evening shows, however the shows were repeated after 7 days so if you are staying longer than this you will have to watch the same shows. We felt like this should have been more varied to accommodate people staying over 7 days. My only other negative was the surface on the pool area in the main pool. It was very slippery to walk on and dangerous, it caused numerous people to slip whilst walking by, this needs addressed as a safety issue. Overall we would recommend the hotel and would be happy to return in the future.

We stayed the first time in this hotel and were very happy with everything. The spacious room was basic with a little fridge, clean, the bed was very comfy and shower was good. The balcony added more fun. We were half board which was plenty. The food was great, buffet, I can really recommend the beef, pork, lots of salads, and great cheese. Enough to choose from for breakfast and dinner! The big pool was great , clean beautiful to swim. At 12 ish always some excercise and pool games, I joined the Aquarobic, it was fun. All staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a great location, from hte airport 10 minute drive, they have a free shuttle to Torremolinos town and beach, fast and quick, no fuss. In the evenings they had different entertainment, which we enjoyed specialy the international dance performance. The hotel put a lot of additional things on daily, you can join or not. I would not hesitate to go there again. We had a wonderful holiday. Torremolinos is a very clean town, with wonderful clean beaches, a real joy.

Just got back from 10 nights here, this is our 6th stay at the hotel because we love it so much. The staff are amazing go above and beyond to ensure you have a good time. Special thanks to Ahmed and Jules from the bar and Ahmet from the restaurant these 3 really made our holiday. We cannot wait to come back next year.

The hotel is lovely but a bit out of the way , there is a free shuttle bus into the town and beach , room had lovely aircon and bed comfortable, lovely garden and pools , wish they had a kettle and tea and coffee in the rooms , some of the staff were helpful and some not , the gentleman that was on the restaurant door was always cheerful and smiling ,

It's a bit out of the way especially if your not all-inclusive.It was expensive at the bar especially for the alcohol they served you.The room was basic but very clean ,had everything you needed. The hotel was lovely staff were friendly .

Enjoyed everything about this hotel. Great family holiday. Food was very good. Very clean, with large bedrooms and bathrooms. Staff very friendly Would recommend

Just got back from a week’s stay at AluaSun Costa Park and overall we were really impressed. For the price we paid, this hotel was an absolute bargain. We stayed half board and the food exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was brilliant with freshly cooked omelettes made to order, freshly cooked fried eggs and pancakes, plus a large buffet selection. We didn’t have lunch at the hotel so can’t comment on that, but dinner was also really good. There was plenty of variety. We were genuinely pleasantly surprised by the quality and choice of food. Drinks being included with meals was also a nice touch. The dining staff and chefs were all so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Check-in was smooth and reception staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in a basic double room and had requested a top floor room on the end before arrival. We were really grateful that the hotel accommodated this request for us. The room itself was basic but clean and had everything we needed. There was no kettle in the room, but one can be rented from reception with a refundable deposit. The air conditioning worked very well, which was much appreciated. The beds weren’t the most comfortable, although we didn’t mention this during our stay so didn’t give the hotel the opportunity to resolve it. One small thing to note was that on the odd occasion we were woken during the night by other guests slamming doors. This isn’t a criticism of the hotel itself, but sound does carry quite easily through the corridors and was loud enough to wake us a few times. Housekeeping came daily and changed towels etc., and we were very happy with the cleaning service. The bar staff were also very friendly. We didn’t spend loads of time drinking there but what we did have seemed fairly good value. The pool area was excellent, there were three different pool areas and we never struggled to get a sunbed! There was always so many free at all times of the day. The only down side to the pool area is pool side gets very slippery. Saw a few people slip whilst there. We didn’t watch much of the evening entertainment but what we did see while passing looked good and seemed popular. The hotel is around a 25 minute walk from Torremolinos centre, although I believe there is also a free shuttle bus available. We chose to walk whenever we went in. One thing worth noting is that the hotel is at the top of a small hill and transfer buses drop you at the bottom, as there isn’t enough room for buses to turn around at reception. Taxis can drive directly to reception. The hill isn’t massive, but if you struggle with hills it’s something to be aware of. There are also shops on site, plus a pharmacy and supermarket within a short walk. Lidl and Aldi are around 10 minutes walk away too. Overall, we were really impressed with our stay here. For the price we paid, it felt like fantastic value for money. If we were back in the area and found a good deal again, we would absolutely stay here again.

The hotel staff were very helpful, food was plentiful and lots of choices, rooms were cleaned every day and the most comfiest of beds . We didnt go to the shows as was quite late, loved the pool however around the pool was very slippery and saw a few people slip. Would definitely visit again

Honestly, after reading all of the reviews beforehand I was expecting a dive. But this hotel is a very very cheap answer to a resort holiday. The restaurant is a standard hotel buffet and free drinks (We had breakfast and dinner not all inclusive) the bedrooms are a bit dated but they’re very spacious. There are a few shops inside the hotel along with an ATM, some games and table tennis outside. Very close to a bus stop. The staff are extremely kind, lovely gentleman greeting you at the door at the restaurant, very bubbly and friendly. All the staff are happy and pleasant. The hotel itself is big, there’s loads of places to sit whether it’s a table or a lounger. A few medium to small pools and the kids seem to be loving it, kids discos and kid areas. Atmosphere wise I would say there is entertainment and the kids seem happy, there were people dancing but not like really memorable or banter with the performers but for the price I can’t complain. Cleanliness - clean I mean we didn’t have any issues there’s cleaners here and we didn’t experience anything dirty. The noise levels fine the entertainment can’t be heard from our room unless the balcony is open.

My first time staying at Aluasun and it was brilliant, there was plenty of entertainment for kids and adults. The staff were amazing aswel . The hotel and pool area was spotless . I will definitely be back.
