THB Los Molinos

We stayed in this hotel in August and were generally very happy. Our room 526 had a wonderful sea view, the best ever. We like to sit a lot on the balcony, so this was perfect for us. It's true that lower floors may have obscured views, so ask for this floor if, like us you like to spend time in the room. We were there for 10 days, and the room is a bit small, as is the storage availability, but we just about managed. The wardrobes are weird. If you look at the website you will see they have no doors, and the hanging areas are both short, so if you have dresses you can't hang them without creasing them. Very bad planning. We always take a few extra plastic hangers so had to hang my dresses facross the wardrobe hangers so that that faced outwards, - a good tip for anyone travelling if you don't want to iron your dresses every time you want to wear them. The bathroom was good, although no rooms now have baths, only showers. The showers only have a half screen and the floor floods every time, so we used our towels to mop the floor. Apart from that, the shower was very good. Everything is very modern and clean, and the cleaners keep it nice too. The room had excellent lighting ( a rarity) these days, good TV, with BBC and ITV, good mirror and comfy beds. The a/c was good, but we turned it off and night and slept with the door to the balcony open. There is a small minibar where we kept some of our own things, and a teatray with the usual teas and coffees. Breakfast in the hotel was very good, lots of choice of everything. We had half board dinner, and managed to eat something different every night. The restaurant manager was very helpful and remembered our preferences for food and drink. The last few nights he asked the chef to cook some different fish dishes for us as we don't eat meat. This was most welcome. The food is very cordon bleu and was mostly delicious. Don't be surprised if you order something and it comes up slightly differently! I think it depends which chef is on! The staff generally were nice and helpful, from the cleaners to the pool staff. The pool itself is lovely, very warm, and nice beds and umbrellas around it. The small gardens attached to it are pretty and well kept. There is a gate at the side of the pool area that leads to the promenade beyond, which looks very modern and is delightful to walk along in the evening. If you want to walk to the old city turn right from the hotel main entrance, not left as we were first told. You then climb up a cliff walk, through a small wood leading to a beautifully painted tunnel, and then you are at the bottom of the old city. This is quite small, but worth seeing. We generally had a lovely, very relaxing time, and would definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing break, in spite of the couple of small problems in the room.

The hotel is close to the city center (only about a 15 or so minute walk) on a beautiful part of the coastline. What I loved most was the pool. Beds were comfortable and really appreciated the meals that were included.
