The hostel is centrally located, close to the cathedral, beach, train/bus station, also surrounded by restaurants & stores. Reception service was great-fast check-in, loved that they let us leave our luggage there while we explored because we arrived super early. Super accommodating, as soon as our room was ready they let us have access way before the check-in time. It’s clean and has everything you need for a decent stay. A couple of things are a little old & require an upgrade like the shower head didn’t stay on the holder and the toilet seat would move. Aside from that, no complaints.
Advantages: The location is right by the sea, you can lie on the beach when you go out, and you can see the sea view from the balcony. It is recommended to pay a little more for a sea view room, the view is not a little better.
Disadvantages: Poor sound insulation, there are people singing at the seaside in the middle of the night, it is too lively and noisy. The bed in the twin room is less than 1 meter wide, it feels like it is only 90 cm at most, which is narrow.
Parking problem: On this road by the sea in front of the hotel, you can park within the blue line as long as there is an empty parking space. After parking, go to the roadside machine to pay the parking fee, print out the bill and put it under the front glass of the driver's seat. The maximum fee during the day is 3.25, and it is free at night and on weekends.
Fantastic apartment. Not large, but everything you need. And the view is spectacular and it's great to come back in the afternoon and relax by the swimming pool. They don't clean your apartment and don't refill the coffee, dishwasher tablets, etc. But there is a supermarket next door with everything you need.
Hotel with a very nice design, it surprised me. Spacious rooms but you can see the passage of time. Two double beds although the mattresses are springs. Food quite acceptable without being remarkable. Friendly staff.
The hotel was very pleasant in almost all aspects the hotel is very pleasant, with excellent facilities, quiet environment and fantastic location. The service was always sympathetic and attentive, and the experience was generally very positive.
However, there are some points that could be improved: access to the indoor pool is paid (15€ for only 90 minutes), the exchange of swimming pool towels has an additional cost of 1€, and during the 3 days of stay the bath towels of the room were not available. The breakfast, though good and in a wide range, could be more varied.
In the spa bathrooms, although it was a pleasant space, only two bathrooms were available which can be little when more guests want to use the space, although it was quite good the last day to take a shower before the return journey.
In general, I recommend the Islantilla Stival, because it offers a great experience, but with some details to be improved to be at the height of a real four-star resort.

I love the hostel. The staff is really friendly and nice. They are helpful for the first timer and guides well. The capsule is comfortable and unique experience. The bathroom have all you needed; shampoo, body lotion, body shower etc. The most important thing is the toilet has bidet. The pantry amenities is good and well maintained.
Overall, common areas are modern and spacious. Some rooms have beautiful views over the city, botanic garden, and sea side. The hotel also offers very good facilities such as the pool, jacuzzi & gym. The breakfast is exceptional with lots of variety to pick from.
However there were quite a few disappointments: service at the bar was really bad, with staff sighting and making faces when you ask to order something, the inner spa is at additional cost and the rooms are very small which does not make it worth the price we paid.
Very Good

From the moment you walk into the hotel, it feels as though you've entered the Alhambra itself. The architecture of this Iberostar is truly stunning: Arabic-inspired, colorful, with high-quality materials. The reception area is nothing short of majestic, with marble tiles, flowing fountains, wooden ceilings, and other details that leave a lasting impression. I booked a side sea view room for my parents, and they were given probably the best possible one: located on the 5th floor at the far end of the hotel. The view was far beyond “partial”: they could admire the sea, lush gardens, outdoor pool, and all the hotel terraces all at once. As for me, I made two separate bookings for a three-night stay. Since the same room wasn’t available for all nights, I was upgraded to a superior apartment, an unexpected and much-appreciated gesture. We opted for half-board, and the food was outstanding in both quality and variety. From fresh seafood to superfoods like chia seeds, the buffet offered something for every taste. This hotel truly stands out among the 4* properties we've been to across Europe and the world. The outdoor pool is impressively large, with plenty of sunbeds available. The entire property was immaculately clean, and the green spaces were greatly maintained. Parking was hassle-free, with numerous free spots available both in front and along the sides of the hotel. Another plus: water fountains are placed throughout the hotel, allowing guests to enjoy cold water at any time. Just across the street, you'll find a variety of shops, making it easy to pick up anything you need. Lastly, a mention to the entire hotel staff - from reception to restaurant service - who were consistently professional and kind.
Super service, we had booked to come on Friday but due to circumstance we needed a room on Thursday. After ringing Sahara Sunset arranged a room for the extra day. SUPER
Superb hotel with magnificent views of Gibraltar. Well-equipped apartment, spacious and clean. Holiday village with swimming pools suitable for all ages. Very satisfying stay
I recently stayed at Hotel Sireno in Torremolinos this December, and I was genuinely impressed with the entire experience. The location is excellent — close enough to everything you need, yet still peaceful enough to properly unwind. My room was spotless on arrival and throughout my stay, and I didn’t have a single issue with comfort or cleanliness. One thing that really stood out was the staff. Every chap working there was genuinely lovely, friendly, and helpful, which is something you don’t always find. Their warm attitude made the stay feel even more enjoyable. Even in December, the pool was still open, which was a brilliant surprise and a great extra touch, especially for a winter visit. Breakfast was also very nice. The server was lovely, and everything tasted fresh. It was slightly unusual that the eggs and bacon were cooked to order rather than being laid out buffet-style, but I assume that’s simply because of the quieter time of year. Either way, the food came out fresh and well prepared, so no complaints at all. Overall, Hotel Sireno exceeded my expectations. It’s clean, welcoming, well located, and run by genuinely kind people. I’d happily stay again.
Sadly only one night ,we will be back next yr for longer. Brought many happy memories when our son was toddler walk around the park feeding the chicken and ducks ,and stayed in la Quinta. Staff were excellent as normal.
