Bottom Line

The 36-room Hotel Don Paquito is a sunny, spotlessly clean boutique property located three minutes from the beach in Torremolinos. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and beach bars around the hotel, and a 15-minute walk takes visitors to the center of town. Rooms are sweet and charming (if basic), with lots of light and balcony views over the treetops to the sea. Guests come back to this hotel year after year -- the best possible recommendation.

Scene

Simple, beautiful tropical decor and landscaped grounds

Hotel Don Paquito is a lovely, Mediterranean-style hotel well suited for both tourists and business travelers because of its quiet, accessible location near the beach and the town's commercial district. The rooms and public areas have a comfortable, relaxed vibe as well. The grounds are landscaped with winding stone pathways leading to the promenade and white sand Costa del Sol beaches. The lobby is bright and sunny, with lots of windows and wicker tables with chairs. Outside at street level, there’s a terrace with cafe tables under beach-y white umbrellas, perfect for people watching with or without sangria.

Location

Minutes from the beach and close to the airport

Hotel Don Paquito is close enough to the center of Torremolinos to walk there within fifteen minutes, but far enough away to be surrounded by quiet streets. For those who'd rather not walk, public transportation is right outside the lobby. Getting to the beach only requires a three-minute stroll, and the surrounding neighborhood has plenty of restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and more. Málaga airport is a 10-minute drive away.

Rooms

Spotless and charming (if basic), with sunny balconies

Rooms at Hotel Don Paquito aren't fancy, but they are sweet and charming, with lots of windows to let in the mood-enhancing Mediterranean sun. Each room has a balcony with views over the treetops to urban sights or the sea. Rooms on the pool side get the most light. The tile floors and marble bathrooms are spotlessly clean, and in addition to toiletries, the hotel provides shaving and dental kits. Satellite TV, mini-fridges, and in-room safes are included as well.

Features

Pool with bar and extensive breakfast buffet

Hotel Don Paquito is all about relaxation and sunshine, especially by the pool with its sunny yellow lounge chairs and convenient bar. The restaurant serves an extensive hot and cold breakfast buffet as well as dinner a la carte. The dining room is large and cheerful, with orange and peach accents that feel very Costa del Sol. The beach is set up with lounge chairs and straw sunshades.
