The popular resorts of Benalmadena and Torremolinos are within five kilometres, and the Torrequebrada Golf Club is a kilometre inland. Tivoli World theme park is two kilometres away. Malaga International Airport (AGP), and the town's Picasso Museum, are 12 kilometres from the hotel.
Hotel Features. This modern hotel, named after a 500-year-old Moorish tower which can be seen from the hotel, is set in tropical gardens overlooking two beaches.

The Torrequebrada Hotel offers complimentary breakfast buffet, served in the Pavillon Restaurant overlooking the sea. It also serves international and Mediterranean lunches surrounded by tropical plants. Its terrace is open in warmer months. Café Royal is a fine dining Mediterranean restaurant with garden and sea views and a summer barbecue. Dishes in the Grill Casino include Andalucian Gazpacho and Chateaubriand with Bearnaise Sauce. There's Far Eastern fare in Yuan, and live music in the Piano Bar with its seafront terrace.

Area map

A short guide to Benalmadena

Benalmadena divides into two discrete parts: five kilometres inland is the original quiet, traditional, whitewashed village; on the coast is the new seaside resort of Benalmadena Costa, featuring a lively glitzy marina. The latter adjoins the less frenetic end of Torremolinos, with its sandy beaches, myriad family attractions and good water sports facilities.

Torrequebrada Hotel 2008.09.24
Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Not Impressed"

Reviewed by M of London on Sep 24, 2008

This was supossed to be a 5 star hotel however the staff were poor, unhelpful and behaved as if this was a 2 star. Also the carpets in the room had stains, safe that did not work or repalced dispite reporting it and patio doors you could not lock. Langauage was not an issue as I spoke spanish and staff lacked enthusiasim and interest. Lastly, location was not ideal for shops, restaurant or beach as it was at least a 20 min walk to either

The trip was partly business and partly pleasure. The room was first class and all the staff very friendly. A big plus for the hotel is the theatre where we had a good dinner and watched a spectacular flamenco show.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Not sure this is quite a Five Star"

Reviewed by F of St Albans on Oct 31, 2007

Right on the edge of the sea, great view from room but hotel is a bit dated. Our room was a great size for 2 adults and 2 children. The breakfasts were superb each morning. Our room needed a thorough clean ie. walls, skirts, curtains, etc. Concierge very helpful. Spa offers many treatments but a bit overpriced for the service provided. Pools are lovely, along with the gardens. Very difficult to get drinks outside whilst sunbathing ie. lack of staff and conflicting information. We stayed for 4 days, and out of season. The hotel was very accomodating with organising a late check out till 8pm.

Torrequebrada Hotel 2009.09.06
Recommended Trip type: Business "Fair value, great service"

Reviewed by Allen of Freeport on Sep 6, 2009

The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to accomodate guest requests. The hotel seems to draw families and it is a good bargain for those with many traveling with them. The breakfast buffet and weekly barbecue are good values with ample food, well-prepared and worth the price (breakfast buffet for most is included). The general decor is a little dated and the rooms could use an update/facelift. There were no showercurtains in the bathrooms and the small handful of tv programs are mostly Spanish, German or French...only a few English channels. Extras are pricey. They charge 12 Euros/day for wifi which about $16/day and overpriced. Parking is 10 Euros/day at the self service lot. The two outdoor pools are small to average in size and often crowded with young children. The indoor pool has some great water massage spouts and a great view of the ocean. The beach was rocky/sandy and not easy to get into the water due to the rocks. I had some laundry done it is very expensive...cost about $100 for a couple of shirts some underwear, socks and a couple of shorts. The hotel is near a local supermarket and you could easily walk there for sundries if needed. Location is right off of main highway. Some fine restaurants in the Puerto Marina area (about a five minute drive from the hotel).
