So l will come straight to the point. This is not going to be a good review. The only positive thing about the Bluesea Dimona Suites in Torremolinos is the WiFi. That's it. Nothing else. This accommodation can best be described as a 2-star hostel located over a motorcycle business on a busy main road and adjacent to its downmarket sister hotel, the Bluesea Al Andalus (another 2-star establishment pending to be 4-star). The rooms are large and the balcony I was promised and booked did not materialise. On checking in I was told in no uncertain terms that my room with a balcony was not available, so "take it or leave it". I "took it", but only after I negotiated a refund of £25 per night from my booking agents. The rooms are very basic with some tired shabby furnishings. The bathrooms are decent enough and overall cleanliness is fine (although don’t expect daily visits). The soundproofing is non-existent and hence the quality of sleep is very much dependant on your neighbours and their "habits"! I had to suffer major alcohol-fuelled altercations in the adjacent room on 2 nights of my stay. The private "garden" shown on the website is pathetic. It consists of a corner of a car park with artificial grass, 2 broken sun-loungers, around 10 uncomfortable-looking wire chairs and a single umbrella for any shade. Furthermore, it shares a border with the hotel next door which blasts out pool music all day long! Talking of which if you book on a breakfast or half-board basis you have to take your meals in this hotel. The experience is virtually indescribable. A canteen would be an over-sell. It is a large, excruciatingly noisy tortuous experience of the chattering masses and screaming kids. The food is dreadful. I visited for breakfast on my first day - and never again did I set foot in this nightmare. So "no" I would certainly not recommend that you stay here. There are plenty of other hotels to choose from in Torremolinos and I simply cannot imagine many being less preferable than the Bluesea Dimona Suites.
