Costa del Sol
Located between the airport and Torremolinos, this hotel is ideal for travellers, as a free airport shuttle (also to the beach and town centre) is included in the price. There's nothing particularly exotic about the decor, which is beige-on-beige bland, aside from some Buddha motifs and an elephant statue by the pool, which is heated in winter.
However, the location, in a quiet residential area, is very tranquil. Most rooms have balconies.
