Gran Hotel Costa del Sol

Staff lovely - very attentive. Food good but buffet always cold. Plenty new towels daily in room. Super location for touring/viewing the area. Pool area cleaned daily.

Great staff, breakfast had so much choice and fantastic value.

We've just returned from 7 nts at this hotel, there is nothing to complain about at this hotel, very clean, Wonderful food, huge choices, exceptional seafood selection on the Saturday night, fresh prawns, smoked salmon, muscles etc the staff are lovely and very helpful, full bottle of wine with every meal.Premier Rooms on 6th floor with Seaview and balcony are really lovely, maids come in every day. Hotel is on the beach, plenty of sunbeds available, pool bar has a great selection of drinks, free snacks nuts etc in a plastic cup with drinks, 10 minute walk on left into La Cala Village, beautiful white buildings, selection of bars, restaurants, Unico club on the beach and Los Delfines Beach club are fabulous. Torreon Watch Tower only 2 euros for fantastic views of the whole area. Bus from outside Tourist information office into Fuengirola and Malaga also bus stop under bridge into Marbella and Capobina Beach. The areas are Incredibly clean, no litter or homeless, roads and pavements very well kept. We visited Marbella on the bus only €1.60 per person, Gibraltar day trip is well worth it very interesting. Mijas Pueblo traditional Andalucian white Mountain Village is breathtaking. Wonderful holiday. We paid £300 each for hotel all inclusive, plus Ryan Air flights, 2 suitcases and insurances. Total £1200. Bargain! We will be back ❤️

Came here for 4 nights all inclusive as group mixture of ages from 30-65. Great stay. Wasn't to much around the hotel but lovely walks on the prom and few bars dotted around the place. Food was good and the drinks were brilliant. Pool was on the small size but 50 meters out the gate you've got the sea.

The hotel is in a great location and is pretty cheap. It served a purpose for us but the place is very dated - it doesn’t look like they need to spend any money on it because it seems full all the time. Most of the complaints people have made on TripAdvisor are valid and some are easy to fix. For example, there is no iron in the entire hotel and people are complaining - surely this is an easy win. We only had bed and breakfast and like most people have said, the food is not very hot. This could be amazing and La Cala is becoming more and more expensive so it’s likely people would spend the extra money to stay in a real 4* hotel.

This hotel is in a fantastic location right on the beach and minutes away from all the bar's and restaurants, stayed for 4 nights bed and breakfast, which was nice and lots of choice. I did hear lots of other guests moaning about the food in the evening being cold and not cooked but as I stayed B&B I cannot comment on this as I didn't personally try it, pizzas around the pool were lovely though and very reasonability priced, there is also a gorgeous pizza takeaway close by for anyone looking for a takeaway at night times. The rooms where nice and modern and the beds were made daily, I had to move one of the beds one day to get a charger that had fallen under and they weren't cleaned underneath they were very dusty on the floors, this is my only complaint really. I will add this hotel is more for couples or groups of people and isn't really child friendly , I booked this for myself and two children and there wasn't anything to do for them and no entertainment on at the pool or in the hotel during the day or night time, this was the only real downside to my stay, this could be down to it being early in the season. I would return to this hotel in future with friends as the location and Mijas itself is simply stunning, its a perfect base to explore. I downloaded the Bolt taxi app whilst I was there, which is the Spanish equivalent to Uber, it was $36 euro to the airport and $11 to the Miramar shopping centre, highly recommend this for travelling around.
