Dining and Dancing at Hotel Tropicano, Torremolinos, Costa del Sol

I was lucky enough to enjoy the first session of modern jive dancing with Colin and his team at the Hotel Tropicano in Torremolinos on Monday 16 March. What a delightful hotel and charming staff. The restaurant overlooks the swimming pool and is only a short stone’s throw away from the beach and sea.

As someone who can get lost in a bathroom, the hotel was a labyrinth for me to navigate my way through, but the staff courteously guided me to my destination, namely, the dance area in the basement. There was a good sized crowd all following eagerly, the excellent instruction provided by Colin.

Whilst there I was impressed by a chap who was not a novice to modern jive, as he smoothly guided his dance partners through some very, very, impressive moves. He looked vaguely familiar but for the life of me, I could not recall where I had seen him. Later in the evening, which eventually came to a halt at around 11.45 pm, he came over and spoke to me and we then found out that we had first met in West Sussex. What a small world it is.

What I particularly enjoyed about this hotel and its restaurant was the manner in which staff took their duties to help visitors to enjoy themselves. Nothing was too much trouble and they appeared to take a pleasure in being of assistance. What a pleasurable visit.

The restaurant was spacious and there was an excellent menu.

I used my GPS to find it and it reliably led me right to the entrance. I must try driving blindfolded one day to see just how reliable it really is – or will it then play a trick on me?
