Sol Principe

Got back from this hotel yesterday. Me and my partner stayed for 7 nights, an had been so excited to try "Tomorrelinos" for the first time. The hotel itself is very clean, the staff are super friendly and nice. We went half board, so glad we didn't go all inclusive, as it was mainly fish every night raw salmon, sushi, or pork and chicken, which was very disappointing. We ended up paying for taxis travelling over to Benalmadena to try and find british food, as we had the impression they cater for the Spanish. The entertainment was absolutely shocking, they done a mini kids disco most nights which was mostly Spanish speaking... then they would put on a adult show which would only be on for 40minutes then everyone would be leaving. The musician was laughable. We probably spent more money for taxis looking for something to eat more than anything. They did do the odd pizza and chips each night, but the food was quite repeated, the pork still had blood comming out of it. We also met people at the hotel who couldn't stand the food or entertainment. We went for breakfast every morning at the "Tudor Rose" if you go out the gate at the back of the hotel it's along the strip by there, and it was lovely! Id recommend going there. We couldn't stand the breakfast at the hotel, everything was cold and we didn't even come across beans or sausages. I joined the Facebook group for the hotel, and im amazed on how many people quite like it... im not a picky person at all, but I've stayed in 3* hotels better than this, considering we paid a lot of money me and my partner were so disappointed. The evenings are so quiet, we wouldn't of minded if they had played some sort of music or done karaoke, the hotel itself is very big, they could do a lot more!! The main pool is so over crowded, we ended up using the back pool as it was a lot more quieter, you could only get a sunbed there at 10am and you'd be lucky to find one!! No kids or adults can have inflatables in the pool, only small rings as they have to measure them. Which I found so petty. Very disappointing. Booked with Tui, so was expecting a lot more. Definitely won't be going back to Tomorrelinos. Benalmadena is way better, especially if your British!! 🇬🇧

Having stayed at Sol Príncipe every year since 2013, it’s incredibly disappointing to say that the hotel has clearly lost its charm. What once felt welcoming and well-managed now feels neglected. Staff no longer seem to care, nor do they acknowledge returning guests, which is disheartening after so many years of loyalty. During our most recent stay 2026, our room was booked in the wrong category. We have always reserved a family suite due to our son’s needs, as he is dyslexic and autistic. Despite explaining this and even offering to pay the difference on the spot, no effort was made to accommodate us. We were simply told to contact our travel agent because the hotel was fully booked, hardly the level of service we expected. The room we were given was located above the glass disposal area, where noise from bottles being thrown out and collected was constant and extremely disruptive. The overall standards have also declined. The food quality has worsened noticeably, and there is no longer any engaging entertainment for children. Basic maintenance is being overlooked too, there was no tap in the front pool toilets, and at one point our bedroom door was left open. When we raised this with customer relations, it was brushed off rather than taken seriously, which is unacceptable. To make matters worse, we requested a late check-out as our flight was not until the evening. This could not be accommodated, and we were instead offered a courtesy room for just 30 minutes to shower. When we asked to book this for 15:30, we were told it was not available, offering no flexibility or alternative solution. After more than a decade of returning, it’s disappointing to say that Sol Príncipe has lost a loyal customer.

I loved the Sol Principe. The hotel was beautiful. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. The beach was right outside . My grandson spent a lot of time in the pool. Lounging by the poolside was very relaxing, and we always managed to get a lounger no problem. It’s been a problem in other places I’ve been to. We only had breakfast which was quite busy, however the choice of food was very good. Our room was great and the beds were lovely and comfy. It’s was good to have air conditioning too. The house keeping cleaner Charo did brilliant job keeping the room spotless and tidy. Would definitely go back.

Lovely clean hotel. Great pools with direct access to the beach. Only downfall was the air-conditioning in our room wasn't great (3114) and the hairdryer kept going off every 2 minutes so had to buy my own. Also, the astroturf directly beneath our balcony, had kids playing football til 12.30am/1am and were very loud and noisy. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again would ask for a room on the other end.

Last minute break end of March 2026.. it’s our 2nd time visiting this amazing hotel. Perfect location from the airport and torremolinos. Everything is on your door step.

Our second year here at Sol Principe and we will never stay anywhere else in Torremolinos! Such a wonderful resort-style hotel with something for everyone - I have even concinved my parents and niece to come and join us here next week! Never a dull moment for families, spectacular buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner and an incredible kids club - the wonderful Angel even recognised my daughter one year later and welcomed her back by name - which made her day! Give that guy a big raise 🙌 This is a hotel you wouldn't even have to leave to have an amazing holiday. Games and music all day at the pool, great food, drinks, friendly staff and even an on-site mini water park for the younger kids (a new addition this year!) Well done Melia and all the team at SP for providing a fabulous experience for your guests- we are very much looking forward to spending another great 15 nights here 😍

Nice enough hotel but the balcony was never cleaned, the view was an old green car park, we had to ask after 4 days to change the sheets and cleaner left our door unlocked while we were out for the entire day. Food was good but overall not worth the value

Holiday started okay, however drinks are done by a token system where you exchange token for cup and then cup for token(if you dont want to carry them) the con to this is the cleaners and staff will take unattended cups if they're empty then forcing you to pay 1 euro for a new token even doing all inclusive, soon adds up as a family of 5! Cleaners for rooms aren't to be trusted they will steal and bundle items up with bedsheets for laundry (which are still dirty when put on fresh) the reception staff are terrible and unwilling to help at all with missing items from rooms, instead you get told in so many words to f*** off and go call the police however in order for the police to entertain a report you have to go to the local station and sign the report. The brand melia should be ashamed of the way these hotels are being run, I would highly advice from staying here.

Check in was easy and fast. All staff throughout the hotel are really friendly. Family rooms are a bit dated but a nice balcony overlooking the pool are. Pool area is as good as you will get both pools plus the splash park are brilliant for a relaxing day, although you need to be up early to get a sunbed. Food isn't good we only went b&b and only went down for breakfast once and ended up having chocolate waffles for breakfast. Kids entertainment is on from morning to night there's always something happening around the pool to keep everyone entertained. The hotel in general is class for families, clean and relaxed throughout. They clean the pools every night and they clean the pool area every morning.donr bother going into the arcade as they machines just swallow your money and you get no games as most are broken.

We call Sol Príncipe "Paradise" because that's exactly what it feels like every time we visit. We stayed in a spacious, clean room overlooking the pool, with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a fantastic balcony. It was the perfect setup for our family and gave us plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. The pools are simply the best. Our 5-year-old twins actually learned to swim here, which makes this place even more special to us. The hotel is incredibly family-friendly, and the new splash park brings so much joy to all the children. The beach is only a one-minute walk from the hotel, and the sea is calm and suitable for all ages, making it ideal for families. A special mention must go to the Kids Club staff, who are an absolute dream. They interact with the children at every opportunity, making sure nobody is ever left out. Their enthusiasm, kindness, and dedication are truly outstanding. I give every member of staff a 10 out of 10 for working so hard to make dream family holidays come true. I would also like to give a big shout-out to Valeria from Guest Experience. She was always so helpful, sweet, and happy to answer any questions we had. Her warm and friendly approach made us feel truly valued and added even more to our wonderful holiday experience. We can't wait to return to our little piece of paradise.

Reception staff are absolutely lovely :) Sunbeds are an absolute nightmare, staff tell you the time the area opens yet people get through and all beds gone by 8am so you won't know which time to get down to get a bed. Staff go through putting notes down on reserved beds saying you can't reserve but then don't come back through to free up beds that are empty for hours with towels on so the notes serve no purpose and you may spend the week not getting near the pool. Cleaning staff are lovely, rooms are lovely and clean with a beautiful view after paying for side sea view. Was told on booking that the restaurant was suitable for people with allergies, but whenever I asked staff for Gluten free bread or options nobody knew what I meant so we were left to figure it out for ourselves. Beach across the road absolutely beautiful, town and restaurants are a bit of a walk away so may be worth getting taxis. We made the best of our week as a family but I wouldn't return or recommend this hotel to anyone unfortunately :( especially if you like to relax by the pool for the daytime Im sure other people have had much better experiences here but this was just our time and our opinion :)

second time staying as sea food was excellent and reception helpful as we have mobility issues. . This trip 16 nights presented us with one serving of cold mussels and one serving of frozen langoustines as they were mushy and tasteless. The dining area had been increased and it was like a canteen cafe. Hardly a venue to enjoy a quiet time together. There were queues at all times. No service apart from drinks which was bottle only not even a glass of wine and a poor selection. The dining room should be divided into sections and much quieter. We were unable to get any sun beds in the garden or near the pool where our room overlooked. we had to travel way over to the area of the hotel which was fully packed with children. I chose June believing it would be quieter. The meat lamb chops, pork, was left by many people. Generally the good was tepid. i was very disappointed as we were eating out and i tried to stop the last week of half board. All they offered was 250 euros as opposed to way over 1400 euros and i booked directly with The sol hotel €6740 Our suite was ok and mini bar replenished daily. However inexpensive uncomfortable deck chairs hard pillows and a very firm bed were just about tolerated just not like The Melia hotels i have stated previously . The room was not luxuries as described. It was refurbished and clean but housekeeping never wiped down our side tables during the entire stay. Although this is part of Melia hotels it is not The Melia level class. I would suggest that for families who enjoy extremely loud entertainment and non stop partying the hotel would be perfect. The staff are as helpful as they can and work hard to help if possible. The Manager Jorge was particularly understanding which made a difference to me . However what is offered by this hotel is very limited. Moreover booking directly with The Sol hotel was more expensive than through a holiday company offering all inclusive. Having all inclusive was generally included as the guests had bands on their wrists. Not attractive either. I hope to revisit A Melia hotel which is smaller.

From the moment of checking in until we checked out I cannot fault this hotel. Staff were all extremely friendly (even towards the end of some long shifts), nothing was too much (and trust me when I say they were tested by some Brits whilst we we there!) The hotel is not a new one by any standards but it looks like it is constantly being updated so has a modern feel. The rooms are standard as you would expect with Tea/Coffee & Kettle (no milk pots though), safe, hairdryer and decent beds. The TV in our room had no sound which is a pity as we would have liked some tunes whilst getting ready for the evening meal but a phone works just as well. The food is extremely good and there is a huge variety on offer at all meal times. Right down to the sweet section (parents - please don't let you child stick there hands in the sweets, throw them back in and get different ones!) I did see a chef catch one child in this act and he scorned that child - well done! Staff waiting on tables will bring wine/beer/coke or juice to your table and whip away your empty plate before you even know its gone. (Be sure to keep your cutlery though. Drinks for all inclusive are San Miguel on tap plus a variety of cocktails, some hand made, some pre-made and poured from a jug to save time plus any liquor you can think of. All bar staff were friendly to the end even cracking jokes along the way. There are 3 pools to chose from all at a single level of around 4-5 feet, 1 out front near the beach side which is grass covered and plenty of sun beds. 2 out back with a promenade divider between them which you can walk down to get between the main hotel and the family block/snack restaurant. All 3 have life guards on duty. These 2 pools are home to the resident duck which is happy to share its home with you whilst you are there. He is treated with respect by the staff. There is a newly added childrens water park type pool which looks excellent providing shade and fun water activities for the young. Access to the beach is via a locked gate which your room key will open and simply cross the road. Beach is stunning and I even prefered this to the poolside due to the breeze . Sunbeds are available at €7 each for the whole day. There are numerous restaurants/Bars and Irish Bars along the seafront which give it a lively but not rowdy atmosphere. I would recommend 'All Blacks Beach side bar' to soak up what I'm talking about Torremolinos itself is very pretty although its farther than we anticipated ... and its all up hill! - word to the wise - get a taxi there and walk back. The hotel has a small army of cleaners maintaining a high standard throughout. Evening entertainment was ok but with the exception of a couple of acts nothing to write home about although the was an Elvis impersonator who was in the small bar but should really take main stage (in my opinion) Why only 4? There is No Information available anywhere to suggest things to do/see/vist, from the get go, you are on your own. Even meal times although on a tv screen displayed outside the restaurant are only flashed between SOL adverts this is all so easily rectifyable. Entertainment: ok.

My wife and I visited to celebrate our 39th Wedding anniversary, What an amazing hotel. Spotlessly clean The staff are amazing, nothing is to much trouble. The room was brilliant and comfortable Swimming pools lovely. One quiet and one brilliant fun Arrived back yesterday (Monday) and have booked to return July Cant wait Thank you so much Sol Principe

We're currently staying at this hotel and, honestly, it's one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. We’re in one of the newly refurbished rooms and it’s beautiful – very modern and comfortable, and the bathroom is really well fitted out with lots of room. When we arrived, there was a small leak from the air conditioning. We only noticed it because some wet paint transferred onto my luggage. I went down to reception expecting a lengthy wait for maintenance, but by the time we returned from lunch around 20 minutes later, maintenance had already been to the room and fixed the issue, and we’ve had no problems since, so straight away we were impressed with the speed and efficiency of the service here. Every member of staff we've encountered has been fantastic. Reception staff are always friendly and helpful, the restaurant and bar teams are lovely, maintenance were efficient and professional, and housekeeping almost seem psychic! We had just been discussing asking for an extra pillow each when, around 30 minutes later, housekeeping knocked on the door out of nowhere with extra pillows! The food has been amazing throughout our stay. The carrot cake and red velvet cake are genuinely the best I've ever had, and the Moroccan vegetable tagine is absolutely incredible (honestly if someone wants to give me the recipe so I can make it at home, that’d be amazing!). There's a great variety of food available, but they also always offer familiar favourites such as pasta, chips, and pizza, which is reassuring if you're not in the mood to try something new. There's even a self-serve ice cream machine and a little sweet shop area in the restaurant that's a hit with both children and adults (I've certainly been making the most of it!). The drinks are excellent too. Most options are included in the all-inclusive package, with only premium spirits and some speciality frozen cocktails excluded. Unlike some all-inclusive resorts, the drinks definitely aren't watered down – the piña coladas have caught me out a few times already! Speaking of all-inclusive, I think it's fantastic value for money. Having all meals, snacks, drinks, and bottled water included has saved us a small fortune during our stay. If you plan on eating out frequently, it may not be as worthwhile, but if you're happy to dine at the hotel, it's excellent value. The pools are lovely. We've never had any trouble finding a sunbed, even when heading down around lunchtime when you'd expect things to be busiest. The hotel also has a sensible system for dealing with unattended sunbeds. Staff place a warning notice on towels that have been left for an extended period, and if nobody returns after about an hour, the towels are removed. It makes a huge difference to availability and helps ensure beds are being used fairly. The pools themselves are a great size, well-maintained, and a comfortable temperature. There are three large adult pools, so there's plenty of room for everyone. The maximum depths are approximately 125cm, 135cm, and 140cm respectively. Overall, this has been an outstanding stay and we're already sad that we'll be leaving soon. We will definitely be returning, and we're now keen to try other hotels within the brand because, based on this experience, they're likely to be just as impressive.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant Just arrived back home after a wees stay Grandkids loved it and none said “I bored” can’t fault the hotel one single bit, Brilliant idea to lock up the sunbeds until 9am so no need to get up at the stroke of dawn and be aware if your away from the sunbeds for an hour you lose your bed, so no saving a bed while your at the beach….. talking of the beach it’s a walk across a road literally through the back of the hotel and your there, can’t wait to go again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
