We happen to think that Playamar, the stretch of beach in front of Los Jazmines, is one of the best strands in Torremolinos. The location east of the town center means fewer day-trippers bother to walk this far, and the hotel faces a plaza at the foot of the shady Avenida del Lido. Smallish rooms are furnished with queen or double beds and overlook either the hotel garden or the beach. Apartments have two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and bath with outdoor terraces.
