Estival Torrequebrada

Where do I start.. don't focus on any negative reviews as they genuinely do not refect the overall hotel, staff or food/ drinks etc. Take the time and experience it for yourself . My partner and I had the best time , weather the hotel can not control but we were lucky to get full sunshine after a period of bad weather in the area. We very fortunate to stay in the most amazing suite (Presidential) and I can honestly say no one cpukd be disappointed with the size, layout and the best balconies for sunshine. Well done Estival team you gave us the most memorable holiday in a long time , best value and staff with the biggest smiles.

The hotel ****** area was currently being renovated when we arrived in March 2025, it was a bit of an eyesore I do think people should have been pre warned! But we weren’t, so it came as a bit of a shock, (see photos) Our Junior Suite was a lovely ‘big’ size and did have a nice comfy bed. The Shower was fantastic. Outside pool area was quite nice, lovely views of the sea. Dining: For us, this was a let down!! We were very Disappointed with the food, nothing was ever hot! Always lukewarm and such limited choice too, however , breakfast, to be fair, wasn’t too bad, I’d say it was the best meal of the day. (Honest opinion……this was the worst AI we've had out of quite a few we’ve stayed in before) Hotel bar area certainly not great, massively lacked seating! Entertainment was the odd singer, on the odd night, always after the children's entertainment finished around 9pm The hotel is literally right next to a bus stop, which was great for getting out and about. Would we return….. sadly not This hotel Just wasn’t for us.

Great suite we had ,food good ,drinks good ! Beds comfortable, even towels changed each night! It was our first visit and a long time since we did all inclusive but certainly good value for money! Staff all excellent! We would certainly be back !

We stayed here the last week of March, thankfully we picked the best week weather wise & had no rain :) The hotel is huge & right on the sea front - a bit far out of the resort thought. Check in was smooth & was allocated to a superior front sea view room in the Marbella block on the 11th floor - it was amazing, the size of the room was fabulous & the view was breathtaking, like being on a cruise ship. The hotel had two separate areas for the pools & sunbathing, one for Adults & one for Families this is a must. The grounds are well looked after & a good set up. Pools were cold, but I did brave it one day, as it was so hot. The bar was closed in the adults area, had to walk to the family area to get drinks, due to time of year. The food was okay, the breakfast & lunch had lots of choice with English sausages, beans were cold - there was a microwave to warm them. The evening choices were a bit more limited, but always manage to get something. The red all-inclusive wine wasn't great, ask for a glass from the bottle for one euro, this is more like red wine. Rose & White was okay. We also had the La Carte - this was amazing, so much food & drink. The Entertainment was poor & the lounge area had chunky furniture along with big pillars, so only a few tables could actually see the act/singer. All of the staff are friendly & helpful & we met some lovely people. Also the location was about 20 to 30 minutes to the centre of the resort, we like walking, so it was okay for us. We went to Palmo park which is about 20 min walk towards Benalmadena & up the road with the windmills & on the left - a lovely park at any time of the year. Also the Marina area is a must, this was a 40 min walk & then onto Torrelimonos - a lovely walk along the promenade stopping at the gift shops & cafes on the way. Bus 120 runs frequently. Overall we had a lovely break & would probably come back, as the views & size of the superior room with a full sea view was amazing.

Unfortunately I am unable to give a full review as we were unlucky with the weather and a 10 day holiday was only blessed with 2 days sun. However, I cannot fault the hotel, despite not being able to offer full outdoor areas or services they did their best to compensate for the inclement weather. The all inclusive package was OK but paying an extra euro at the bar got top brand spirits or bottled branded beer. The restaurant layout is questionable but the food was superb. No quibbles. Totally acceptable. House keeping was without fault. All staff throughout did their upmost to make a stay in the Costa Del Sun wind and rain a pleasant experience. Many thanks to all of you.
