Essence Hotel Boutique and Spa by Don Paquito

TripAdvisor Review
Spain, Europe
Torremolinos

This welcoming hotel is centrally yet quietly located, only 100 m from the splendid sandy beach of Torremolinos. Shops, bars and restaurants are to be found in the vicinity. Málaga is around 11 km from the hotel, whilst the airport is just 7 km away. Links to the public transport network are in front of the hotel. Renovated in 2005, this superbly situated hotel comprises a total of 66 rooms spread over 5 floors. Guests may make use of the air-conditioned foyer which has public Internet connection. Guests may choose to pay a visit to the cosy bar and the restaurant. Individually and tastefully decorated, the rooms are all air-conditioned and feature a balcony or terrace with views of the sea or pool. There is a swimming pool with sun loungers in the outdoor complex. The nearest golf course is just 3 km away.

Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

Beautiful hotel

This hotel is beautiful, nothing is too much trouble, the breakfast is lovely , the pool is fantastic, and everything is spotlessly clean. The only downside is the price of the pool side bar for drinks , way to much

Second visit this year. Same great service

Second visit to Essence Boutique this year.

The staff were amazing as usual. Great chilled vibe. Lovely relaxed breakfast experience.

We love the pool area. No mad dash for sunbeds

Can also recommend the massages!

Great boutique hotel with wonderful food

Stayed 5 nights. Very helpful staff on reception (thank you Patricia for all your help pre-arrival and during my stay), and in the restaurant. Extremely clean, modern hotel and room. Minibar prices very reasonable. Breakfast was excellent (although no porridge). Buffet dinner was smaller compared to the larger hotels I usually stay in, however, it had a broad selection of food which was of a very high quality - top end… I looked forward to the dinner each evening. Also, a very good selection of budget to high quality wines at reasonable prices.

There is a rooftop bar but it’s only open certain days.

The pool is relatively small but the temperature of the water is perfect - cool and refreshing but it doesn’t take your breath away on entering like some hotel pools. Nice sunbeds, and food and drink waiter service around the pool. Never a problem finding a free sunbed.

The gym is very small with only three items of cardio equipment. The hammam steam room is open for one hour per day (4pm) - it’s just ok, not too steamy.

Great hotel location, only 2 minutes walk to the beach front. And 8-10 minutes to the shopping centre and Nogalera Square with its bars and restaurants.

In summary, I was very impressed by the hotel, the cleanliness and high quality service and room comfort. Even though I prefer a hotel with a good gym, I intend to return for another short break in the coming month.
