Hotel Ritual Torremolinos

"Just back from an 11 night stay here for some pre-winter sun. All good in room 308 with the usual spectacular views, comfy bed, daily room cleaning & amazing breakfast buffet. A few suggestions: Why not recognise & reward your requent guests? Even just a nice robe in the room or bottle of fizz or fruit basket to welcome repeat customers would be nice. Some of the younger members of staff can be a little attitudy. Notably in the poolside bar. All it takes is a smile when serving & a little conversation. People are on holiday & more willing to tip if you are nice. If you are miserable then tip = €0. Invest in new sunbeds & parasols. It’s long over due. Otherwise keep up the good work, we do love your hotel! Be back next year!"

"Hotel Ritual Torremolinos continues to establish itself as one of the benchmark accommodations on the Costa del Sol, and a large part of this success is due to the impeccable management of its director, Armando Acosta. Under his leadership, the hotel not only maintains a very high standard of quality, but also demonstrates a constant commitment to renewing itself and offering the best possible experience to its guests. One of the great successes of this season has been the complete renovation of its gym. The new facilities are a true marvel: a modern, bright space equipped with machinery that allows you to maintain your training routine without sacrificing comfort during your vacation. It is a significant leap in quality that makes the difference. However, the true heart of the Hotel Ritual lies in its human value. The friendly, approachable, and professional treatment from all the staff makes you feel welcome from the very first minute. From the reception team to the restaurant and cleaning staff, everyone works with a sincere smile and an attention to detail that turns a simple stay into an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, a totally recommendable hotel that you always want to return to. Congratulations to Armando Acosta and his entire team for the excellent work!"

"The staff, 10/10. The facilities, -10/10. And I am not exaggerating. The best thing about the Ritual Torremolinos is its workers: friendly, attentive, and professional. They save an experience that, for the price you pay, should be light-years ahead of what the hotel actually offers. Because it is one thing for a hotel to be old and quite another to charge current prices while offering facilities that seem to have been needing a renovation for decades. Everything looks old, worn out, and very inconsistent with the rates they charge. The price is that of a premium hotel; the facilities, certainly, are NOT. It gives the feeling that you are paying for the name, the atmosphere, and the concept here, because it is hard to find where the price is reflected in the facilities. And the worst part is that it has a lot of potential: location, atmosphere, and fantastic staff. But there comes a time when it is not worth continuing to live off that while the hotel ages and prices keep going up. Ritual needs to invest. And quite a lot. Staff: 10/10. Facilities: -10/10. Value for money: something to look into. At these prices, another facelift isn't needed: a comprehensive renovation is needed."
