Scene
A mid-range beachfront resort with a mix of modern and classic styles
Melia Costa del Sol is a mid-range hotel that is situated right on the water. The style of the decor is inconsistent throughout, as modern and renovated design (in the lobby) coexists with an older, more classic look of the past (in the attractive, but slightly dated, rooms). The lobby is definitely a high point, with its chic, cushioned wicker furniture, marble tiles, and abundant natural light. The exterior of the hotel looks a lot more dated than the interior. Melia Costa del Sol is not only suitable for families and couples seeking the sun and the sea, but also for the business traveler (especially during non-peak season). Couples are the most prevalent, however.
Location
Oceanfront hotel with proximity to a variety of activities
The resort hotel sits directly on the oceanfront walkway right on Bajondillo Beach. It's just over half a mile from the popular Carihuela Beach, downtown Torremolinos, which is full of bars and restaurants, and the Puerto Marina. Benalmadena Casino is a short drive away and the city of Malaga, which has an international airport, is only a 20-minute car ride.
Rooms
Clean, traditional rooms with ocean-view terraces
The nine-story Melia Costa del Sol houses 538 rooms including the 18 Family Suites and 36 Junior Suites available. All of the rooms (except some ground floor units) have private terraces and ocean views. The rooms are spacious and clean with tasteful, traditional (if slightly dated) furnishings. Picture striped comforters and chairs, carpets, and basic wood furniture and doors (it looks like the style of oak that was popular in the '90s). Amenities include flat-screen TVs and minibars, but no coffee/tea makers (though they are available for a fee). Wi-Fi, at least, is free.
Features
Easy beach access and an impressive spa area
The hotel’s proximity to Bajondillo Beach could not be any better -- it's just a quick walk across the promenade on which Melia Costa del Sol sits. Sun beds are available on the beach and around the pool for a small fee, and towels are offered for a deposit; poolside bar service is seasonal. Free Wi-Fi, which is available throughout the hotel, reaches all the way to the water. The fitness center is free, and the lovely spa, which comes at a fee, has a saltwater pool, massage cabins, sauna, and steam bath. The buffet restaurant has show cooking and serves Mediterranean and international specialties, while a la carte options are offered at La Proa Gastrobar.
