Went to the Sol Principe, Torremolinos for the May week-end. Just the good lady and I flying Ryanair from Edinburgh. Early morning flight which was full but no problems. Had to wait nearly 50 mins for our luggage at Malaga but again no serious problems. Booked our transfers direct and the driver, smartly dressed was waiting for us. Quick transfer dropping off another couple and we were in the Hotel. Bit of a queue to get checked in and this queue seemed to be present for the next three days. Room on 9th floor and very nice it was too. Two large pools to the rear of the Hotel (which is actually main entrance) and spolessly clean. Another pool to the front (or beach side) surrounded by a grassed area. Much quieter at the front as they cater for the kids at the back. Certain websites told us to expect thunderstorms but ended up with glorious weather for our break, 30 degrees all days. Dining room ok and selection of food fine although I don't expect too much from hotel food. We were half board so for two nights we ate out and had lunch in the hotel during the day. 4 euros for a beer (expensive) as I could get a Guinness for 4 euros at an Irish bar nearby. Kept our room on for 25 euros which more or less gave us an extra day. Transfer back to the airport on time and another very smartly dressed driver. Arrived at Edinburgh about midnight on the Monday but very satisfied with our break and would certainly visit this hotel again. Will do a review on hotel later.
