- AluaSun Costa Park
Set in the lively resort town of Torremolinos on Spain’s Costa del Sol, AluaSun Costa Park is a welcoming choice for families and couples seeking a fun and relaxed holiday. Tucked just over a kilometre from the popular Playamar Beach, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to both the seafront and the town centre, making it easy to explore the area’s shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
There’s no shortage of things to do on site. Guests can cool off in the outdoor pools, let the kids splash in their own dedicated zone, or take part in activities like tennis, mini-golf, and table games. Evenings bring a variety of entertainment for all ages, with shows and music adding to the holiday atmosphere.
A buffet restaurant serves up a selection of international dishes, while poolside bars offer refreshing drinks and snacks throughout the day. Whether you’re relaxing poolside, enjoying time with the family, or heading out to explore the Costa del Sol, AluaSun Costa Park provides a cheerful and convenient base for your stay.
The hotel’s rooms are bright and practical, each with air conditioning, satellite TV, a private bathroom, and a furnished balcony or terrace – a great spot to enjoy the fresh coastal air.
I would definitely recommend this hotel, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful with nothing being as issue. The hotel was spotlessly clean, every area from reception to pool was nice and clean. There was a huge choice of food which was fresh or freshly cooked. There is something for everyone to enjoy. The only improvement I could recommend was that the bathrooms need a refurbish, other than that I would stay here again.
I write this coming to the end of our second stay at Aluasun Costa Park; the first being the same week two years ago. My review was positive then and remains so today.
Location: Google Maps says the hotel is around 25 minutes walk from the beach and the same from the town; we're both in our 60s and managed to leisurely walk to the beach in 15 minutes and the same to the top of the town. If you don't feel like walking there's the free shuttle bus from the main road outside the hotel which is less than a minutes walk. This is also where the transfer busses drop-off and pickup. It's only a short walk to the hotel but it is quite a steep hill. My top tip is not to pay around €35+ for transfer when booking. It's less than €20 in an airport taxi and around €15 in an Uber.
Accommodation: Once again we were in the building separate from the main building, this time on the 11th floor with a sea view.
The room was large and appeared to have been decorated since our last visit 2 years ago. It had 2 very comfortable single beds pushed together, air conditioning that worked well, a good sized balcony and a bathroom with bath, shower, sink and a separate toilet area with bidet. There's also a hair drier.
There are some reviews that describe the rooms as dated, including my previous one, but in all honesty it boils down to the tiling really. I'd say the rooms are on a par with an average Premier Inn or Travelodge in the UK. However, Costa Parks additional star rating comes from it's food and facilities.
Food: Food choice is excellent with plenty of hot and cold choices for breakfast. Both lunch and dinner have multiple choices to suit many tastes and nationalities. Hot food is always fresh and hot and replenished regularly right up until the end of service.
Snacks are served from the pool bar almost all day and again are freshly prepared and regularly replenished.
Facilities: With extensive grassed grounds, 2 pools, a splash pool and the mini water park, as well as more than enough sunbeds and 2 large seating areas close to the pool bar, There is always somewhere to sit and relax. For a couple getting away from grandparent duties for a few days this was important and whilst there were children doing what children do, we were always able to find somewhere quiet when wanted.
Bars: Both bars are well stocked with good quality local spirits, local beer and wines.
A token system is in operation for plastic cups at the pool bar and glasses at the terrace bar. Tokens are available from reception. Glasses and plastic cups can be changed for clean ones at any time or tokens to use again if preferred.
Entertainment: There's plenty happening day and night for both children and adults. The ending entertainment starts with the children's disco and is followed by the adult entertainment which includes dance shows and themed performances.
Staff: Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. They work hard every day to make guest stays as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and it shows.

Overall opinion: A great hotel that provides excellent value for money.
Second visit to this Hotel and all was good,food is of a high standard and room again top class,air-con spot on,definitely this is a great place to stay,a short distance out of the town but easily walkable (me and my wife are both in our 60's) and there is also a free bus service offered.Very child friendly,lots of entertainment.
Been here 3 days and very disappointed with the hotel . Big queues for drinks bars closed . Room is poor some of the staff especially around the pool and pool bar were rude and very unprofessional. The hotel is not located close to the beach or shops they do provide a shuttle bus but its was over 20 mins late . Very very disappointed
I have just got back from here I was dreading it after reading some reviews on here but it was great! Especially the entertainment- the animation team are brilliant they work so hard and their dancing was phenomenal honestly- so talented i never ever stay in in hotels at night and watch the entertainment but I did here and i looked forward to it every night! I can’t believe some of the ridiculous comments i read on here complaining about it because it was honestly outstanding- the young dancers are absolutely amazing and they are always smiling and great with kids. They had everything you can think of in hotel like yoga and aerobics waterpolo and face painting for kids etc- disco every night for kids my daughter had the time of her life! Perfect for younger children with the little slides. The dancing from the two young girls and young man on the world dancing show was honestly just amazing! I didn’t expect to want to sit there watching entertainment every night but i looked forward to it. They deserve a pay rise because they are unbelievingly talented! Most of staff friendly and nice and the food was fine! I am vegetarian but there was always something I could eat and plenty of choice I wasn’t a fan of the blue food theme because my child was covered in blue food colouring lol. But i have stayed in 5* all inclusive hotels with far worse food and i honestly thought the food was pretty good. I don’t even write reviews but i want to reassure anyone booked to come here they made a good choice and the kids will love it! You will definitely love the entertainment! If the owner of this hotel reads this you should definitely give the animation team a bonus they really do make your hotel special!!
