We stayed at the Occidental Torremolinos as a family of three for four nights in early July.
We arrived late at night, after midnight, with a very tired child. Check-in itself was fine, but our room was not. It was 30 degrees in the room, and the air conditioning was not working - only circulated hot air around. Opening windows was problematic due to noise. So we had a bad first night.
It took most of the first day to resolve the problem. We were told there was nothing wrong and that technicians had checked the air con twice, until we "forced" the receptionist to accompany us into the sauna-like room. Finally, at 7 pm, the hotel agreed to move us to another room.
Room two was blissfully cold, so we decided to ignore the fact that it has stinky drains and holes in the curtains.
The second disappointment was the food. Dreadful mass catering, no attempt at any Spanish flair. What a waste.
