With two main restaurants and three bars, you’re well covered from breakfast through to late-night cocktails.

The buffet restaurant serves international, Spanish and local dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with live show-cooking stations and a dedicated kids’ buffet plus outdoor terrace seating. For something different, Arrozante, the à la carte spot by the pool, focuses on rice-based and Mediterranean specialities at lunch on selected dates.

Three bars keep drinks and snacks flowing: a lively pool bar for daytime refreshments, a terrace bar stretching service into the evening, and a sociable lobby bar for pre- or post-dinner drinks with premium options available.

A smart dress code may apply in the evening, and opening days/hours can vary by season and occupancy. Reservations may be required for Arrozante, and some items or venues may carry a supplement depending on your board basis. Information is based on the previous season and is subject to change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Life here naturally drifts towards the water. The resort’s centrepiece is a generous lagoon-style freshwater pool with a wide sunbathing terrace dotted with loungers and parasols. A second outdoor pool offers an alternative quiet spot, and both benefit from nearby baby-changing facilities and towel service (refundable deposit).

Children are drawn to the dedicated splash park, complete with tipping water bucket, water cannons and playful water sheets, typically operating from April to October with seasonal opening hours and height/age rules.

Just beyond the gardens and promenade, the sandy beachfront beckons for sea dips, sandcastles and long walks along Torremolinos’ seven-kilometre coastline.

Stay active with an air-conditioned gym equipped with cardio machines and a free-weights area (16+; opening hours vary with occupancy). Daily activity programmes typically feature aerobics, aqua aerobics, dance classes, darts, mini-golf, petanque, snooker (payable), table tennis, tennis (charges may apply) and volleyball, plus an 18‑hole mini-golf course.

Evenings bring bingo, quizzes, karaoke, in-house shows, professional performances, live DJs and live music, with an adapted programme through the cooler months. Children have their own clubs and a playground with swings, slides and shaded zones, along with the splash park for water-based fun.
