Hotel Don Paquito Reviews
" Fantastic "
Submitted By: mstokes
First time myself & my wife, went away with out children, we stayed in the Don Paaquito Hotel, It was a good clean tidy hotel, with friendly staff, rooms were cleaned each day,
the waiter's, were very friendly, especialy John Jovolta look alike,The food was different each day, but was cleaned well cooked healthy food.
If you go out side front door of hotel turn left 200yrds on left a first class CHINESSE RESTRAUNT, for 9 euros you get a three course meal, one of the nicest ever had.
turn right out side hotel 300yrds at beach, turn right again and walk along the pronade for a 1 half mile walk to the harbour, I had a mobility scooter as of bad back, but a great wee walk, and lotts of shops along the way, few in the backs as well, be aware of the shoe shops as say they are leather but they are all plastic with leather linning in shoe. It is more of an older persons holiday out side of the July & Augst time, we were there begining of Feb, so most people in there 50's and beond, nothing for kidds to do, but a nice break away, wish we had dune more like trip to Moroco or Gibralter?
But a good clean hotel made for it, and at the back of the hotel is a Sister hotel offering more facilitys like indoor pool, archery, shooting, bowls, etc.
Well thanks againg to the Staff at Don Paquito 3*** Hotel.
Kindest Regards

" Having just returned from a week long... "
Submitted By: Mrs D DOHERTY
Having just returned from a week long holiday in the Don Paquito hotel,i felt i just had to leave my comment. Having previously stayed in four star hotels on holidays and being very disapointed by certain aspects of them,mainly speaking food being terrible, very bad customer service,be it only a smile from members of staff, and general all round manner, i was very pleasently surprised when we arrived at the Don Paquito to first of all being met with the lovely friendly staff. The hotel is a small,with 66 bedrooms, making for a very homely,relaxed friendly atmosphere, breakfast was served between 8-10 each morning which was great for anyone wishing to have a sleep on,(me). The food was very good, beautiful variation of buffet style breakfast and evening dinner every day,with something to suit all cultures. Last but not least, the staff and management of the hotel were simply brilliant, nothing was too much trouble to anyone. pity some hotels couldn"t take a leaf out of their book and make hospitality no 1 for guests. I have to finally say that the beds were changed daily and the hotel was spotless. I will definitely be returning. Thank you Don Paquito.

" The hotel is ideally situated just a... "
Submitted By: Miss J Jones
The hotel is ideally situated just a few minutes from the sea front and is of a high standard. The rooms are very clean, well decorated, modern and comfortable. Facilities include balcony, LCD TV with some english channels, telephone, fridge, air conditioning, hairdryer and a selection of mini toiletries. A daily maid service is provided which includes clean towels, and linen is changed a few times a week.
The dining room, where buffet breakfast and evening meal are served, is quite small but is very brightly decorated and looks out onto the pool area. There is an excellent choice of food which is of very good quality and is well presented.
Although this is a relatively small hotel, the standard of service is second to none. All staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The manager is very keen to ensure that guests are being looked after.
Whilst there is no on-site entertainment, there is a nice bar and common seating area which also includes a TV. There is also a small pool area with sun beds and umbrellas.
I have stayed in many 3 star hotels and can honestly say that the Don Paquito is definitely worthy of this level and I would have no hesitation in returning at some point in the future.
The resort of Torremolinos is very clean and pleasant. Shopping facilities are excellent with many shops along the sea front and even more in the main town. There are plenty of public buses (bus stop outside of the hotel Don Paquito) and taxis and an abundance of bars and restaurants.
The beach stretches for miles and is very clean, although the sea was cold during the month of our visit (April). The promenade is well paved and a pleasant walk takes you into the lovely resort of Benelmadena which has a large marina, including a variety of shops and restaurants.

Just returned from a fantastic 3 nights stay at Don Paquito. My partner and I could not fault the hotel in anyway, one of the best we've stayed in - excellent selection of good food, clean comfy rooms with LCD TV, 2 minute walk from the beach and souvenir shops. Torremolinos itself was lovely also, much nicer than we had anticipated, would definately go back.

Submitted By: Mr J Robson
Cant fault this hotel at all, the staff were very friendly the food was as good as you get in a 3 star hotel, the rooms were cleaned every day and the hotel it,s self was a treat to stay in, location wise you couldnt ask for any better, 2 minutes and your on the beach and you can walk the prominade for hours and not get bored,as for going into the town just around the corner is a elevator that takes you up there (if you have difficulty in walking) for just 1/2 a euro, we (my wife and i) will definitely be going back to this little gem again, weve stayed in a lot of 3*s on the Costas and this one is up there with the best!.

" Congratulations to the Don Paquito,... "
Submitted By: Mrs P Duguid
Congratulations to the Don Paquito, my husband and I stayed for a week in March this year.
We were delighted with this small hotel. Everything you could want.
The hotel was very clean. The staff were all very pleasant, especially the waiters.
We would like to complement the chefs - the food was great, a lovely variety with all the things we enjoy.
We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Torremolinos.
It is only a short walk from the beach, and we discovered if you walk by some little shops you are in the town centre within a few minutes.
We agreed one day we will revisit this little haven. Thanks to all. We went with Thomson Holidays.

" Once you have stayed at the Don... "
Submitted By: patsydoodles
Once you have stayed at the Don Paquito you'll never want to stay anywhere else.
The rooms, reception, bar and pool area are immaculate. The staff are amazingly friendly and if you visit more than once (as we have) they welcome you with open arms.
The breakfast offers anything you could ever want, as does the dinner buffet.
This year we took my elderly in-laws who haven't been abroad for over 20 years and they loved it as well.
The staff took great care of them (they are both in their 80s). Needless to say they are coming back with us in June.
I can't praise it high enough.
We loved it so much we've already been three times and are booked to go again and again…

" Visiting Costa del Sol for the first... "
Submitted By: Ms D Clark
Visiting Costa del Sol for the first time with my daughter (15) , both a bit nervous as we had a late deal with allocation on arrival which I'd never done before and was imagining a dark, dingy hotel.
However, couldn’t have been further from the truth, the Don Pacquito is a small, really clean, friendly hotel. The food was excellent, with loads of choice, hot and cold options in abundance. My daughter and I definitely gained a few pounds. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The pool is on the small side and they could do with a few more sun beds but you can use facilities at the hotel next door (and for evening entertainment) and the lovely beach is only a short walk away. Our room was light and airy and with air conditioning and maid service everyday. We had a gorgeous holiday and would definitely like to return in the future.

Submitted By: Mr D. Pinder
This is the 4th time we have stopped at the Don Paquito in Torremolinos, and I feel it is time it was reviewed by us. BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT. This is the only way to describe the hotel. Clean, tidy, friendly, courteous, fabulous choice and standard of food, fully air conditioned everywhere, pool is of an excellent standard, and entertainment (albeit at the next door hotels which are in the same group) is of an excellent standard. We have been to many hotels on the Costa del Sol, and this is THE best we have been in by a long way, and we WILL be back there later this year.

Got off to a bad start as we arrived early and our room was not ready (our fault) so we went for a 2 hour walk and when we got back and spoke to the receptionist she said take a seat and she would check if it was ready! We waited almost an hour when she remembered we were there and said she had forgotten us and yes the room was ready, (she did appologise).
Hotel very clean and the hotel staff were all lovely and very friendly. Unfortunately they were re-painting the outside of the hotel while we were there, but in its defence they kept the noise and the dust to a minimum.
Food was very nice and very fresh. Evening meals were not labled so it was difficult to know exactly what you had on your plate at times. but saying that you could not fault the quality and choice of food.
Happy hour is 5 to 6 pm and the size of the spirits are generous and the bar staff are great fun, drinks 2 for 1.
Pool area is a little small but as it was February when we went, ( weather 18 to 21 C) it was ample for the amount of people at the hotel at that time of year. Not sure how you would fare in the height of summer.
Bed rooms were very clean but the walls are thin .... could hear the chap next door snoring and the bathroom walls are thinner and could hear much more so be warned!
For this reason only we did not give it an excellent score for rooms and overall.
TV limited in english channels but have sky news and more 4 and CNN.
Nice touches were shampoo and hairdryer in bathroom and a small bottle of water to greet you to your room.
Very good 3 star hotel, deserves a 4 in most ways.
Very much enjoyed our stay.
About a 15 min walk to the centre. Turn left outside the hotel and then second left takes you to the resort centre, up hill so stop and take your time!
Opposite way Turn right and right again to walk to the sea front, can walk to old torremolinos and bellamadena which has a cable car up into the mountains.
This is a spectacular view and there is a bird of prey show free(at certain times of the day), when you get up there.
Train station takes you to the neighbouring resorts for very little money. Easy to use and safe.
Resort is handy for Gibraltar, nice day out. Price about 12 euro's for the shopping trip, more if you want to see the apes. Duty free shopping there. Famouse grouse 1 ltr, 7 euro's. 200 cigs around £10 but only 200 cigs OR 250 grams baccy allowed per person and 1 litre of spirits.
Customs are hot here so beware smugglers!
Buses were very busy to malaga, no queing system so older folks beware, saw many pushing/pushed off their feet trying to board. Cheap but be prepared to stand for the journey!
Morocco well worth a visit to the kasbah!
