I returned to hotel Ritual this year, and one of the many reasons I always book this hotel was partly for its pool and leisure facilities. The pool area is spacious usually with great staff and a fantastic atmosphere.

During my stay, the pool area was occupied by organised events and large numbers of non-resident visitors for several days, which significantly restricted guests' ability to use the facilities.

There were 3 days during my stay where I was unable to get to the pool area until at least late afternoon which made it all a little redundant

I had issues with trying also obtain the lift key for the beach with the 3 different times I asked I was informed it was unavailable and to check later.

The superior room was spacious, with great facilities and a great sea view. I did however notice a smell of stale smoke from the room on arrival and on one occasion my room was not cleaned because 3pm I was told was too late.

I had a great time as always in torremolinos but I do feel there was a duty to inform me of the multiple events taking place and the restrictions this may have placed on using the facilities and amenities advertised. Had I been aware of the impact this may have had on my trip, I may have chosen alternative accommodation.

Great Place to stay, just one or two niggles. The bedding and towels had a distinct smell of chip fat / fried food so guess the laundry store is near the kitchen. The roof top pool area closes far too early (7:00pm) It ought to close around sunset in my view. We did have one meal in the restaurant which was okay but nothing special. All in all though, a good experience and the staff were really good.

Great experience overall. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and I really enjoyed my stay. The only uncomfortable moment was with a member of the bar staff at the top-floor pool, who asked me to get naked even though I was only wearing Speedos. This was confusing, as the website states that the area is clothing-optional. Aside from that, everything was excellent, and I had a great experience. I would happily return.

It is a great hotel with lots of features - roof top pool, sauna and pool. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, bathroom needs updating- dirty shower curtain.
Pool area is good with lots of sun loungers but the music is too loud, impossible to listen to your own music.

Beware! First, the positives. The hotel was gay-friendly and centrally located. Breakfast was decent. Now, the negatives. The room was very outdated with old fixtures like a tap from the 70's that sprays everywhere, a super hard bed and old linens that had holes in them. They ran out of pool towels on our first day, which require a €10 deposit. An unauthorized charge was made to our room due to improper controls and staff was very rude when we advised them. Overall, enjoyed being close to the action but basics of a hotel were seriously lacking.

Good location, comfortable bed. I was asleep in my room during the afternoon when someone else came into my room to check in, with their own key, and stood at the end of my bed. Staff didn’t care. Shower sprays water all over the floor. Says renovated, but it’s not. You have to pay a deposit for everything, towels, iron, lift access to the beach. Be careful of the interconnecting rooms. For three nights I heard the person next door having intercourse, including all the conversation lol

The view of the ocean was pretty good, and it overlooked the pool as well, but I feel the layout was a little contrived. I think it was ridiculous that the pool closed at 9pm, the Spa didn’t stay open much later either… I get that it was low season, but for it being a gay hotel catering to gay men who like staying up late and staying out all night, it behooves me that this hotel was the first thing to shut down in the neighborhood. The staff was not very accommodating or helpful either… I was disappointed and left wanting more from my experience here in Torremolinos. Bear Pool Party only on a Saturday during the day ending at 7pm when the sun doesn’t even set till 10pm, really?

Was awoken at 6am on the first morning with sun lighting up the room. One of the blackout curtains was missing. When i raised this at reception, I was told by the staff that it is the same in all rooms. This was completely untrue. It was only replaced when i eventually spoke to a very helpful cleaner. The reception staff clearly need re-training. The hotel was satisfactory in other aspects

No one seemed to know the correct timings for snacks, and access to the spa comes at an additional cost. The pools are uncomfortably cold and should be heated. The gate by the pool leading to the beach does not work with the hotel key card, which is inconvenient. Deposits for items such as the private lift key are cash-only, which is unreasonable—card payments should be accepted. Dinner is served far too late each evening, and the breakfast eggs were excessively oily, to the point they were swimming in it.

Great staff on reception, very warm, friendly and helpful. Beautiful sea view from the room and the hotel is in a great location. Unfortunately I found the beds very uncomfortable - very hard mattress - and there was a door to the next room so I could hear everything happening in the room next door. Also, they play very loud music by the pool from 10am which can be heard in the rooms.

Good, but overpriced considering the condition.

Very popular busy hotel. Wonderful location and staff very friendly.
The rooftop pool area needs urgent attention though, the flooring throughout is full of holes, covered in chipboard, so you’re likely to cut or get splinters in your feet. Poolside cleanliness is an issue too, the small tables are rarely cleaned. It could be a great space, but considering it was refurbished in February, the floor really needs addressing asap.
Rooms are nice, very dated and in need of renovation, but clean and the views are nice.
Spa is good and well appointed. Bar prices are very reasonable. Breakfast is very good.

Okay.

Ritual is a nice pleasant enough mainly gay hotel.

Plus aspects are : friendly staff. nice breakfast buffet, nice pool and top deck is enjoyable.

Minuses are: gym is in dire need of renovation, some machines don’t work and it’s quite small. The bedrooms are also dated. Main cupboard is boarded up so have to use small thin cupboards to the side. I did query this but seems locked for some reason.

Also very noisy about 6am daily when rubbish is collected (I stayed on the other side from pool view which costs more). Seems like all glass bottles from bars nearby collected at this time causing an almighty racket. Not sure why can’t be collected later…….

Probably slightly over priced for what you get.

Honestly one of the best gay hotels ibhave ever stayed ever, from the rooms, the pool, the breakfast, the spa! Everything was perfect! The only think i hope they fix is making the parking opening easier, like i had to get down from my car and do a whole thing everytime, also towels should be free for guests, just like the spa i didn't get the 8 euro charge but all of that is minimal compared to how amazing the hotel is!
