Hotel MS Amaragua in Torremolinos

31.08.25 came back for a 4 night stay but chose half board this time not b &b as in June this year. Chose half board as I had a look in the dinning room at dinner time last time we stayed and it looked good. How disappointed we were, all the hot food in the dinning room was cold. The old mad chef in charge was his usual unpleasant self. Each night there was a meat hanging on a scewa, chicken, beef, pork but it was always cold or tough as old boots. The beef one night just could not be cut even with a steak knife. If you asked for one of the raw meats on display to be cooked, they gave you the over cooked meats from under the counter. The chips were undercooked and cold as well. It was all very frustrating it could have been so good. Breakfast was the same, bacon overcooked, beans cold, porridge cold. The best part was the pasta which a lovely lady cooked fresh each night. We could only get a side sea view not a suite like in June but it was great, spotless clean as always, lovely bathroom. We did have a problem with one of tge twin beds, I sat on the side of it and it tipped up, after checking we found it fad one caster and legs not all the same length. We told reception first night but it didn't get fixed till two days later. The sliding wardrobe doors stuck and was difficult to open and covered the set of drawers which we couldn't use, we reported it but nothing was done. This is a beautiful hotel but they need to sort out the restaurant. There is an escalator up to the restaurant but when it is busy people are queuing on it. If you buy drinks at dinner you pay on the way out of the restaurant but this also caused a bottleneck, not well thought out.

June, 2025 We are staying at the MS at the moment and cannot fault the hotel. The hotel is amazing, the decor is beautiful and the staff are lovely and very helpful. The restaurant is amazing, the food is fantastic and presented in such a way as to really give a wow factor. There is everything you could possibly want and more. The restaurant is stunning and the view over the pool and beach is lovely. We would definitely come back and do not understand why people have written bad reviews. Yes the hotel looks dated but it is typical old Spainish colours. The bedrooms are massive, the bathroom has a fabulous large bath and separate shower and the hotel provide toothbrushes and paste, shower caps, combs a sponge and even a razor and shaving foam which are excellent quality. The hand wash and moisturisers are all by Ritual and are lovely. Everything is thought about. The biggest selling point is the cleanliness, the hotel is spotless and the cleaners do an amazing job.

The only problem we encountered was the guests, running to be first to get a sun beds at 8.30 am. It is embarrassing really. There are plenty of sun beds so no need for any of it. They line up waiting for the doors to open then literally run for the beds then leave there towels and go. Very annoying.

Spa zone should have been renovated 15 years ago! The whole hotel is outdated and needs an upgrade. I don’t think the price per night is fair for this quality.
Meanwhile the breakfast was good. The stay overall wasn’t.

I'm honestly not at all happy with my stay here. After asking several times for a room with a good view, I ended up with a room with a window overlooking some shabby houses nearby. The room's cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The room is small for the price. The buffet food is inedible. The La Ola bar is a bit better, although the waiters are inattentive. Marta and Alberto from the kitchen are very friendly and address all our needs, and the food is even better there. However, I wouldn't return.

Stayed in this hotel 2 weeks past and was so dissatisfied with my stay was on 7 th floor no internet , breakfast was really aful and by the time we got to the pool area no beds left and when we decided to go to ther beach area it cost us 14 euros for beds every day plus the receptionist was no help what so ever , worst hotel we ever stayed in. mr t mullan.

We booked a double superior room with a front sea view, expecting comfort and quality, but what we got was far from it. The room felt like something out of a horror movie—on the second floor but felt like the first. The walls were yellowed and stained, giving the whole place a dirty, run-down feel. The bed was uneven, making it nearly impossible to get a good night’s sleep. To make matters worse, there was a loose socket with exposed wires hanging out of the wall, which was a serious safety concern.

We brought these issues to the attention of the reception staff, hoping to move to a better room. However, they told us it wasn’t worth it because all the rooms were in a similar state, which was incredibly disappointing. The room looked nothing like the photos on the hotel website, and the overall quality was shocking for the price.

Overall: Our stay at Amaragua was far from enjoyable, and the price-to-quality ratio was poor. Unless you have no other option and don’t mind compromising on comfort and safety, I wouldn’t recommend staying here
