Melia Costa Del Sol

17 glorious days spent here. Staff from arrival to departure so friendly and helpful . Absolutely spotless throughout . Food , well didn’t get to try it all( ran out of time) but what we did have was superb and everything was laid out perfectly in the various displays.Well done to all. Room was refurbished & cleaned every day . Superb room staff. Sunbeds? As in all hotels not enough , could do with some more parasols though. Quite entertaining to watch the 9am rush to pop your towels on the various front row sunbeds though . Plenty of room over the road next to sea. 😳Overall a superb experience and hopefully back next year to repeat. Well done to all front of house as well as those hidden behind the scenes who work so hard to make our experience enjoyable.

We are currently staying at Melia Costa Del Sol on a Jet2 Holiday, room 2709. We booked a double sea view room with the Level upgrade. All in all not a cheap 9 night holiday. Firstly, please don’t bother with the Level upgrade as it’s not worth the extra costs. We have a room with two twin beds pushed together, there is virtually no descent wardrobe space to put our clothes, we are living mostly out of our suitcases, particularly annoying as Jet2 allow 22 kilos of luggage per person which we were both well below and still not enough space to put our clothes away. The air conditioning has a problem which is not pleasant. We have a partial sea view but have a better view of the steps and the lift to the Old Town, the Melia Convention Centre roof and as mentioned a limited sea view. We understand that these Level rooms have been refurbished recently but struggling to understand why a window in the shower cubicle is a good idea as when we use the bathroom at night the light wakes the other one up. The lifts to the rooms are tiny, 4 people at best and at busy times you spend a lot of time waiting for a lift. TBH we’ve stayed a cheaper hotels in the area and they are much better.

Came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary and very happy we chose this hotel! Very modern and clean with really friendly staff! Our room was a superior deluxe, I had emailed ahead to ask for a high up room with a good view of the sea and it didn’t disappoint! Our room was on the 9th floor with a perfect view. Room was very spacious and bed and pillows were extremely comfy! Breakfast was plentiful and really tasty with fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs. The only downside to this hotel was the pool area, both on the ground and roof pools I felt were way too small for the size of the hotel and was always crowded. We ended up at the beach every day but overall would recommend this hotel and would come back next year! Perfect location right on the beach with lots of restaurants, cafes around!

Right from the very start every member of staff we met were friendly and welcoming, my only concern here was that we told by recepton to wait for our room in reception, after a while we asked if it was ready and it was. Could the member of staff not simply let us know? The breakfast was superb and again all staff were freindly. Our room was slightly underwhelming with two single beds pushed together, these moved a lot overnight allowing pllows to fall to the ground. Close to beach, good service at the bar.

Perfect location, plenty of bars, restaurants and shops around. Atmosphere was relaxing, great value for money. Rooms were very clean and to a high standard with replenishments each day. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Celebrated my birthday here too which they left a lovely bottle in the room as a surprise.

I have given an average rating for this Melia as it is a Hotel of two halves....the staff at The Level were exceptional , friendly and extremely helpful, rooms immaculate. BUT The main Hotel left alot to be desired...there were two doorman at the door on our arrival completely uniterested in helping us with our luggage. My son found three cock roaches in his room. The staff in the main reception need to learn "customer service" from their colleagues at The Level

This hotel has a fabulous location and we have been many times, one of our favourites. There have unfortunately been some changes, especially at the Level. The excellent team, are no longer there, and it is very noticeable. Desk often not manned, drinks, ice and glasses allowed to run out, and not replaced. Maria, however is excellent. The new pool 'boys' again, not anything like as helpful, stand and watch as people struggle with the very heavy parasols. That said, hopefully this is a teething problem, and things will improve, but did make for a disappointing stay, as we had such an excellent time last October, and last June, so noticed the reduction. Cost cutting I guess. Everything else was perfect, and still love the Level. Maybe we were spoilt before

We had a fantastic stay and couldn't be happier with the service we received. The hotel was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and the facilities were excellent. Every member of staff was friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Marta from The Level, Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for guests were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, making all our check out arrangements prior to checkout. Thanks to Marta's outstanding service, our experience felt extra special. We would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning. Thank you to the whole team, and especially to Marta, for making our stay so memorable!

The recently refurbished rooms (we stayed in Deluxe) are modern and comfortable. New bathroom layouts are fine but could have done with towel rail in shower, wardrobes are spacious but safe restricts depth for longer garments, there are two deep drawers and the sliding doors have been replaced by a curtain. Rooms are cleaned daily and if you want towels replaced leave on shower floor, hotel throughout is very clean. We always stay B&B as there is a vast selection of restaurants to chose from in resort, the hotel breakfast has a wide variety of fruit, cereals and cooked dishes including fresh omelettes. If you stay on the rooftop terrace there is a food and drink service, we ate lunch couple of times and the portions are very generous, enough for two people to share. Only drawback we noticed was the lack of sunbeds on the rooftop compared to previous years, opens at 10am and by 10.30 all sunbeds are taken, and some are in need of repair/replacement. overall great hotel, great location and really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here for one week, in June. We had a premium room with sea view, 5th floor, level building, room 2526. We stayed on a half board basis. When we arrived, room wasn’t ready and had to wait till gone 3 to get our room. Room was clean, but had single beds, even though we booked has Mr and Mrs with the same name, apparently doesn’t mean you want to share the same bed. They did quickly sort this problem with a bed topper, and it was perfect after that. Perfect location and right next to the beach and shops. Staff polite and helpful. Pool area, ok, but you do need to get there by 9, to get a lounger. Food was terrible, always lukewarm and limited choice. We eat lunch here, then eat out every night. Food outside was lovely and lots of different varieties to choose from. The room we had, offered turn down service, well according to Jet2 website and booking, but we never got this service for the whole 7 nights we were there. Nice place, but the food lets the hotel down.

The Melia Costa del Sol is a beautiful hotel. The recent refurbishment has been a great success. My wife and I upgraded and stayed in The Level (Room 2921). The room was well laid out and had all the usual amenities. The Level Lounge are on the 10th floor was smart and comfortable. However I can't see us returning because the whole (not inexpensive) Level experience was spoiled by the hotel continuing to allow smoking around the pool and sundeck (and we soon found out) on room balconies too. If you Google "The best smoke-free hotels in Torremolinos", the Melia comes out as #1. In the foyer there is a huge illuminated sign that declared that "Smoking is prohibited in this establishment". I would interpret that to mean that smoking is prohibited in ever part of the establishment, but, in reality, what they mean is it is prohibited in all areas, except where it is not prohibited. I raised the issue with one of the girls behind the desk in the Level Lounge and got a "sorry about that but there's nothing we can do" response. I raised the matter in a long letter to the hotel management and got a fairly speedy, but equally dismissive, response. Senor Perez committed to nothing more than discussing it with colleagues, and stated that they were operating within national and regional legislation. My suggestion of a designated, but segregated, smoking area well away from the pool and the sundeck wasn't even commented on. Beautiful hotel, pleasant staff and if you can justify the additional cost upgrade to The Level but only if you don't mind breathing in other people's smoke as soon as you leave the Level lounge and venture on to the sundeck and pool area.

We came to Level at the top of the Meliá Costa del Sol and honestly couldn’t fault it. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. What we loved most is that you don’t have to be a hotel guest to enjoy it visitors are welcome too, which makes it a hidden gem if you’re in Torremolinos and looking for somewhere special to spend the day or evening. The service was outstanding. Every waiter was attentive, friendly and professional, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. The team were an absolute 10/10 and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere, views and overall experience were incredible. Everything felt relaxed, premium and well looked after. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or just visiting, we would highly recommend coming here. A perfect experience from start to finish we’ll definitely be back.

Just spent 7 days here and will definitely not be returning. There are many good things about the hotel, lovely room with Rituals shower gel etc, beds so comfortable, ice station next to lift. The location is brilliant and staff good. The pool area is far too small for such a big hotel, very cramped, we were aware though when booking. However we were half board and found the food terrible. Breakfast was standard okay nothing to complain about, except the poached eggs..they are cooked in far too much vinegar. Evening meal was the worst I’ve ever had in a hotel. The grilled meats were well and truly overcooked and the side dishes were so bland. Fish was better thankfully. There was a big selection of meats and cheeses..but it was 3 types of cheese spread over a very wide area..and they all tasted exactly the same as each other. Very very small dessert selection, the usual dry cake and bowls of mousse. We were able to swap to lunchtime and thankfully the salad bar was ok, we then ate out on a nighttime. Think if you’re on a B&B basis and like the beach this hotel is for you, we will not be returning

Wonderful stay at Melia Costa Del Sol. Arrived around midnight and the check in was smooth, no issues whatsoever. The room did have single beds but this was soon rectified to a double the following morning. Hubby even had a bottle of cava gifted as it was his birthday which was a lovely gesture. Everything is clean, staff are really happy and helpful - nothing too much trouble. We stayed block 2 6th floor which was nice, overlooking the pool and sea front. The restaurant is busy but managed well and the food is fresh with lots of choice (we only ate breakfast in the hotel) Drinks and bar food are reasonable and little bowls of nuts and sweets are also a nice gesture. I really could go on and on about the hotel and the great location, it’s that good! We will be booking again next June! Thanks

After reading a few negative reviews, I was somewhat apprecentive before arrival but I need not have worried as this is an excellent hotel and one of the best we have stayed in over the years. From start to finish we felt so comfortable, with friendly staff, super room, good views and lots of food choice in the restaurant where we never had a problem finding a table. But the best was the excellent entertainment each night that really made our holiday. No need to look for bars, the lounge was so comfortable with first class acts on every night, especially the soul group and the rock brothers., that together with the beach club at 5pm where there was yet more entertainment while having a teatime drink. All in all, we have had a fantastic holiday and I will be looking for an Melia Hotel now in other resorts and countries. Well done Melia we loved every minute of it.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a brilliant time. The rooms were modern and clean and the pools were a nice area too. There was an incident at the pool while we were there which the staff responded to quickly which we were greatful of. The breakfast was also very nice. The hotel is also on the beach front in Torremolinos which in my opinion is a nicer area than the main town and makes walking to benalmadena a lot quicker and enjoyable.

Like other hotels in the area they need a no reserve sunbed policy. Stayed a total of 5 days and only once did we get a sunbed for a few hours and this was late afternoon. There were the odd sunbed on the upper deck available but had no umbrellas so it was a case of frying in the sun at 32c or not bothering We'd watch the mad rush from our room overlooking the pool at 9.00am only for half of them to throw their towels onto the beds and then disappear for hours on end and eventually return at 3pm in the afternoon. I watched it and a scene from Benny Hill sprang to mind. The melia hotel desperately needs to address this problem as I'm sure this will put people off booking at this hotel again We'd try the rooftop pool but there were not enough sunbeds for the number of guests as they only had 11 on counting around the top near the bali beds but none on the sides like they used to have and maybe the same number at the sides and this opens at 10.00 and again people queued up at the door. However, there are 8 huge Bali beds for 30 euros per day overlooking the sea with amazing views. The hotel itself is clean and elegant with amazing staff to match Beds so comfortable with clean modern rooms and quiet at night

Myself my mum & sister visited the Melia for a week this May, 3 of us were sharing 1 room but on entering the room there were only 2 beds 2 sets of towels etc, a quick call to reception and this was quickly rectified, the room was small for 3 of us and couldn't use the balcony as the third bed was blocking the door but we managed the ladies did a great job of cleaning it each day. The melia is a lovely hotel everything is clean and well presented the pool areas are great and we always got a lounger, we used the bottom pool and I've read that people are put off because it doesn't get the sun all day, but it was there until late each day, we moved along abit around 3 if we were still there but usually we went up to the rooftop bar for a drink and spent an hr or 2 up there.. it was beautiful relaxing with great drinks on offer and fantastic views! The staff in the hotel all work hard in all areas and are very attentive, it does get very busy especially in the dining area. My mum has mobility issues and we hired a wheelchair and it was easy to get about the hotel, the lifts are small so wheelchair and 1 person only I would say. A few niggles at breakfast, they need more hot water urns/machines for tea, there was always one not working or the water wasn't hot enough resulting in a big queue for a cuppa. Food at breakfast was plentiful and good selection we thought evening meal was alittle underwhelming, repetitive and at times abit like 'school dinners' and the cakes/pastries were better at breakfast that in the evening. We enjoyed our stay at the Melia the location is excellent the views outstanding, we walked the promenade each day where there are lovely places to have lunch a few drinks & relax.
