Lovely hotel and service. Great food and varied every day. All good. Only criticism, beds were quite hard and indoor swimming pool was too small and too full of kids. No timetable was offer for adults only

The balcony had a double tiled step which was difficult to see and was a danger to myself AND my wife who gas sight problems
The towels in the room were old and thin. New investment on towels at least to the better rooms need considering
Our glasses in the room were not changed or cleaned throughout our 3 day stay. We had to wash and clean our glasses every day. Not hygienic.

Very nice pool area. And right by the beach where you can rent beach chairs. There was also a water park for children. The rooms are roomy and clean.
8.0 / 10.0
The pool is fantastic. Clean and safe. All the staff were really helpful on reception except for 1 man who let the team down - quite rude and arrogant when checking us in and when we needed some help with our room also. The lady that did the Bingo on 7th June made up for it though :)
10.0 / 10.0
We came for the first time to this hotel. When we arrived the person at the reception was friendly but just checked in without explaining the accomodations. Where we have to go for breakfast or how to go to the beach. That was a pitty. The food at the hotel is really nice and you have a lot of choice. Every evening there is a theme for dinner. The personal in the restaurant and at the pool are really friendly and nice to kids. Everything in the hotel was very clean. Every day they came with fresh food or ice cream at the pool for free for everyone.
In the pool the kids cannot use a floatable toy although it's a family hotel and the pool is really big. Overall it was a nice holiday and we had a lot of fun.

Excellent as always!
4.0 / 10.0
We really enjoyed the activities for both children and adults. There should be kettles in the rooms. The free filtered water was excellent. The buffet was one of the best we have visited, but a bit crowded.

I liked the gym, the 2 swimming pools, the breakfast, the room, the quiet, the comfort, the space, the supply of free drinking water and the location.

Wonderful hotel, lovely room (290) with double balcony over looking the pool and sea view. Food was wonderful too. Will definitely be back soon.

Very well organised and well appointed family hotel. We had an apartment with half board but all inclusive is available. The apartment had a basic kitchen and there’s a supermarket almost opposite.
There’s direct access to the beach from the swimming pool area.
Travelling with a coeliac and Spain, and this hotel in particular, seems very well set up for gluten-free eating.

Great room, fantastic bed
8.0 / 10.0
It is a very good hotel and the all inclusive concept is generous and works well. Staff is very good in general, although there is always an exception. Location itself is great, the village of Torrox not really special

I was on my own and 83 years old and staff were fantastic and so helpful to me. Except for extreme heat it was perfect. Regards Phil Gardner

This is my third time at this hotel. This time I stayed with my teenage son for 5 nights. Our room was excellent, really cold air conditioning and immaculately clean.
The staff at the hotel are always very friendly, great selection of food (we were half board) which is slightly different every night.
The pool area is great too, kept very clean, loads of sun beds, good activities and right on the beach.
The only (very slight) negative I have is that the beds are a little on the soft side, although I realise of course that that’s very subjective.

Lovely family trip to the Iberostar
All the staff were extremely helpful and accommodation throughout
Facilities are lovely and there are lots of activities to get involved in the day
Only issue we had was the reduced drink choice in the restaurant but this was rectified by bringing our drinks to the restaurant from another bar.
6.0 / 10.0
This is a solid three star resort. Not very luxurious, has bland and repetitive food options, and limited drink options.

Perfect hotel, rooms big but a little outdated

Very spacious, super clean, and very friendly staff. All food was buffet which wasn’t particularly great but very well laid out and presented.

The entire property was beautiful. Even with so many guests we always felt we were getting personal service. The entire resort ran like a well oiled machine. There is nothing we would change and we would love to vacation here again in the future!

Good hotel but too familyfriendly for me. Many families eith small children that were schouting and running around in the breakfast room.
But the breakfast selection was great.
4.0 / 10.0
Nice Med beach resort. The beach is a short walk away. Only major downside is the lack of dining options in the hotel.
3.0 / 10.0
Nice hôtel right on thé beach but very very family orientated so would not suggest for people looking for a stay on the quieter side.
Also all of the restaurants on site are buffet style with most guests going all inclusive so this made it extremely busy and not very relaxing if you did choose to dine at the hotel.
Plenty of restaurant options on the beach but would be nice if there was one a la carte restaurant option on sight.
10.0 / 10.0
Good food. Entertainment team worked very hard and had great personalities. Big a nice pool. Hard to get a chair at times but usually could find something

Firstly I tried and failed 4 times to contact iberostar to see what the best rate I could get the first time they replied to ask how many people nights and room type I replied with the information then chased them for an answer 4times. I got so fed up of waiting I went to the hotel I asked the reception what the best rate was they said they couldn’t book but put me through to the central reservations. They said the Hotel was fully booked which I knew it wasn’t as I’d looked just moments earlier on line. He then retracted that they were full and said the best rate was £249 again this was incorrect as the rate for a horizon member was £204 and even cheaper on Expedia. With my perks and it being the cheapest I booked through Expedia. I asked if I could have a pool or sea view I got a view of the car park. Once in the room although cleaned to an exceptional standard the walls were all marked the lampshade edge was all frayed the mini bar was stained inside and there was a mark on the curtain. Overall the public areas and room as well as the gym and indoor pool looked and felt like a dungeon dark dismal and in need of an upgrade. I had asked in my previous emails what the classes were for adults again once checked in really disappointed as there was still not one yoga class which I could do. I have not been away for two years and recently lost someone very close to me so my stay was a treat to myself time to recharge and relax what I got was anxious panicky and due to this…,

There are truly not enough words to describe how magical our stay was. The facility was impeccably taken care of. The food and drink and entertainment were absolutely fantastic. But what truly made it magical was the amazing staff. Fran was so fun with all the activities. Juan in the dining room was the sweetest and absolutely ever staff member made sure we had the best time. This was our best all inclusive experience ever.

We are a family with 3 year old thinking garden would be nice.. but it turns out the grass condition isn’t great. We don’t use the garden at all. Room 134 is quite cold as it will get sun in the afternoon only. Everything is as good as what you can see in the photos. One main advantage is the shower/bath water is very strong in this room.

We stayed Easter week so was busy. Couldnt get a sunbed around the pool in the afternoon and the pool wasnt warm so would be much busier in summer season. We only had breakfast and there was a good choice of everything. Had an omelette and egg station.
