Neighborhoods
Popular Mediterranean resort La Carihuela is defined by its summer beach scene, with hutlike outdoor chiringuito bars serving cold beer and classic pescaíto fried fish, alongside upscale Spanish sea-view restaurants. The waterside promenade draws locals and holidaymakers for evening strolls, and rugged headland Punta Gatuna has a quiet lookout spot for sunset views. Flashy modern dance clubs get busy after dark.

If you are going and want to go on all the rides you need the fast pass you buy inside, 40 euros per person... we had 2 family tickets and then got the 4 kids fast passes... worth it for the older boys who went on all the rides many times over the 2 younger girls they went on less rides but worth it to get them to the front of queues. Bring food and plenty of water in cool boxes or bags. It's a good day out but fast passes are a must
Great place for the family. Rides are fun. Book online tickets to avoid waiting at gate. Things to improve: 1-parking should be free not 2 euros. 2- bring water and food with you. No water fountain at the park. One resturant with expensive food and drinks. 3-should pay for sunbeds. (5 euros each.) It should free.
Aqualand was a lot of fun. Despite most of the restaurants being closed at the end of October, they kept one open. The price was a bit on the high side, but it was definitely a great outing. There’s something for both younger and older children to enjoy.
We can't understand all the bad reviews. We were also unsure at first, but then decided to go anyway! Fortunately! We had the regular ticket (€37) plus fast line (€12). That was perfect. Two sun loungers on site (€7), all prices per person. We brought our own food, perfect! We bought bathing shoes on site - we definitely recommend them! The overall combination was perfect. All the staff were friendly and the “Fast Pass” is definitely worth it. We can only recommend the aquapark. P. S. We cannot judge the food on site!
We were very surprised that this waterpark received such bad reviews. We visited peak season and had a great day. It’s a well presented water park with a friendly ambiance. The rides are great with our favourite being Speed Racer. The queues were fine and if you had a fast pass (which we didn’t !) it would be even better. Don’t hold back and get along for a fun day.
Are you coming in October? Forget the negative reviews, outside of the main season there are no crowds, the lines were short, nobody bought fast track passes and all the slides were great! Awesome waterpark! We did not eat there but why would you? If there are small or no lines you do the whole park in 3 hours and go out to eat somewhere nice.
It's not the aqua park, it's queue park, family 2 adults + 2 children 122 euros + two sun beds. Only I got some kind of excitement,cause I was doing all the crazy slides without rings. Children and wife was frustrated , cause of enormous waiting time for ring slides. Paying extra just to pass to slides I kinda greedy business. The only reason of long queue is incompetent staff. We had a great time a day ago in aqua mijas!(There we don't needed sunbeds even, cause we were sliding all the time.) avoid place until they remove fast line and train staff properly. Don't get fooled by marketing pictures.
Such a fun day out! Definitely got our money’s worth of exhilaration and laughs. Visited end of October (half term) but there were literally hardly any queues and all runs super smoothly. My daughter and I did not opt for a sun lounger as we spent all time out and about. There are plenty of lockers to store personal belongings. We brought our own food in so cannot comment on hospitality offer. Some of the slides are not open all day and it is worth to check timings to not miss out on your favourite ones.

What a treat! I booked my hotel in Torremolinos way before my trip to Malaga. I had no clue this town is so vibrant and interesting. After arrival to my hotel I google some restaurants and while going to Buddha Beach restaurant (I hope I remember the name correctly) I couldn’t believe what I’m seeing! What a variety of boutiques, stores and restaurants on this street. All so colorful sharp and clean. It would take month or more to discover and visit them all! Great vibe and unforgettable experience particularly with all the Christmas decor!
Lots of shops and bars on pedestrian street. Worth a look if in torremollenos.
A must visit place in Torremolinos to walk the way up the historic stairs with many shops on the sides.
Had a fabulous few days break in Torremolinos, we have never visited before and will definitely be booking again for some winter sun. Clean, stunning beaches with everything you need on your doorstep. Plenty of shops if you wanted some Spanish retail therapy. Thank you to everyone that made us feel so welcome 🤗
Super spot to drop in too and chill.
Really nice shopping street with a cozy atmosphere but the only downside is that shops there close relatively early.
Busy tourist street with lots to see and buy , at the bottom of street there's a long set of steps down to the sea front, a nice place to spend an jour or two

Small crocodile park with guided tours, a cafe & a petting area where visitors can hold a baby croc.
Slide 1 of 8
We went in what is called the “winter” season so all of the crocodiles were kept in the enclosure due to their metabolism. It was amazing to see so many there and we were lucky to arrive just before the croc talk which was brilliant. The guide was very good in explaining about feeding habits and different types of crocs. They walk around the park was quite quick but you had various animals including porcupines and quite a lot of tortoises. They do have a small reptile house which snakes are kept in but it was a small amount of snakes. The cafe wasn’t open but you could buy refreshments in the shop and various toys and even crocodile teeth necklaces. Your best bet is to go June-August where I would assume that the crocs would be outside for a better experience. I would go again but I would choose a different time. 👍
We didn't have much time as we were late arriving but saw enough. An added bonus was that a guide was giving a talk about crocodiles in general and those in the park including their behaviours, how body temperature impacts mood and also temperature of eggs determines boy or girl, all very interesting stuff. Spoke to a couple at our hotel and they had not seen a guide so really missed out. Some parts were closed off for maintenance and the receptionist didn't have great customer service but overall thoroughly enjoyed
Crocodile park where you and your family can learn and see crocodiles. Scheduled guide tours are available by the park employees to explain more information and fun facts about crocodiles. You can book tickets online. Recommended for families.
Visited with my family early afternoon, it wasn’t busy and we managed to get a parking space. Paid full price for 2 x adults and 2 x children, the man on reception was friendly enough. No map of the park was provided. . We timed it so we could see the talk by one of the staff which was very interesting and worth watching. One of the exhibits was closed but we visited 95% of the park. Overall it was interesting, with a good range of crocodiles, small animals and they have a reptile and snake enclosure. The park itself is fairly small. Food areas and toilets as to be expected. I am no crocodile expert but the water in most enclosures looks like it’s needs to be cleaned/changed. We were there for approx 1 hour including the talk. I wouldn’t say it was value for money but my kids enjoyed it even if briefly.
Kids loved it, parents loved it. The guy/guide handling the crocs is awesome, loves his job, very enthusiastic story teller. We visited in July, it was hot. Ice cream / drinks bar having a siësta is not a good idea when most of your customers are children, maybe just put two shifts on it. Still would recommend.
Lovely and quiet with plenty of shade. Really enjoyed the talk in the crocodile enclosure. A lovely way to spend an hour with family. Bring some euros as feeding the turtles is lovely and needs two €1 coins for a ball of food.
We went yesterday with our 2-year-old, and even though it's winter season, we thoroughly enjoyed the park. All the crocodiles and alligators were in the greenhouse, where we could see them in all their shapes and sizes. Our little boy loved it and was fascinated by how close we were. We stayed for over an hour, and because they don't move much, we kept going back to see if any had moved and they did! We were about to leave when I remembered there were other animals. Our little fella was more interested in jumping in puddles, but we, as the two adults, enjoyed the extra animals and ended up back at the greenhouse for a talk with the lovely keeper. I understand why people complain about the cost, but we had gone to Sea Life earlier in the day and paid €59 for less than 20 minutes. We were a little disappointed, so the Crocodile Park really made up for it.
Really nice park and if you actually show some intrest for the animals you can stay her for multiple houres. I see pople write in there revies that it was to quick to go trough the park. That's BS and your own fault for speeeing trough it. We used 3 houres in the park before we had looked at everything. Read the signs and information about the animal and actually look at them. It's not a race. Only thing I wish would be imprved is that the guide got a microphone and a speaker because some times it was hard to hear what he wad saying. All in all good experience and reccomended

The park is absolutely gorgeous but before walking up to parque de las baterias, make sure to check if the panoramic elevator is an option... I followed Google's directions to the park and walked 2.4km uphill (I looked for shortcuts on Google earth and this isn't even on it), where at the top I discovered this (no idea how I missed it), I took it down and it dropped me about 400 metres from my hotel 🤣 1 euro each way or free for pensioners! Save your legs. Videos of elevator included in pictures of the park
Lovely place for a stroll around nice and peaceful great view from the tower looking over torramelinos. Access lift on the town side of it never works. But even still a nice little walk to it enjoyable.
What a beautiful park. We got the bus from Torremolinos, got off at Carihuela bus stop. The access lift is nearby, it's only 1€ to use( free for over 65's). There's plenty to see and do. There's a man made boating pond, however due to water shortage it is drained at the moment. In one of the corners there is a well equipped children's play park. The snack bar is located there too. You get return by the lift or catch the train as Montremar station is close to the park entrance. Well worth a visit.
Had a lovely lift up to the park and had a great walk around it has gun batteries from the Spanish Civil war a child's play ground and a boating lake. Last but not least a tower you can climb and see some beautiful scenery, definitely worth the visit.
A lovely park now made much more accessible by a lift from the road below. Fantastic play areas for the kids, a beautiful lake and magnificent views of La Carihuela. Well worth a visit.
This was a lovely poem with a small pond in the middle. Was very quiet during the day but had lots of festivals during the year. Easy to get to via the lift or you can walk directly up to it.
No water in the pond.. .BUT still a beautiful 😍 parc
Great place for a walk and the views are amazing from the battery emplacements and tower

Lovely child friendly beach. You can hire sun loungers here as well with various places to eat and drink. The lucky lucky men can be a bit of a pain but it's a small complaint of what's a lovely beach in beautiful Spain ❤️
quite nice sandy beach with lots of options to eat and drink. There are also showers available. Baywatchers take care of our safety. Waterquality is good, but not exceptional. Both in the sand and in the sea there are some garbage, however there are trashbins also on the beach. People should care more.
Great beach with comfortable sun-beds for rent (8€). The water is clean and the sand is soft. Many nice restaurants along the beach where you can e.g. eat espetos de sardinas 😋
Winter walks on the beach are fantastic - not many people and great photo ops. The beach can get pretty packed in the late afternoon in summer.
Good beach, has everything you need. Parking not the best but we found a spot for free on the road.
Superb clean golden beaches with plenty of bars restaurants and shops close by 10/10
If you want to know what a beach really is, I challenge you to spend a week in Torremolinos and then spend a day in Portugal. Choose any beach in southern Portugal. And you'll regret for the rest of your life not having done the opposite. In Torremolinos, there's no sand, there are small burning stones that burn your feet. The sand is small, crowded, and the water is murky. A disappointment as a beach..
Nice! Street parking available 7 min walk away.
