Globales Cortijo Blanco

3rd visit in 9 years and overall enjoyed again. Hotel in a great position to visit places on local buses. All staff work extremely hard and the hotel is spotlessly clean, gardens and plaza area lovely to sit and enjoy a drink. The drinks for an all inclusive are very good, only negatives for us are the bedrooms which need a major update and the dining area which is more like a canteen and can get very chaotic. Overall if you get it for a good price you will love the hotel but don't pay a fortune

We’ve just come back from a week’s stay here and it was very pleasant. We arrived at the hotel at around 12:30 and our room wasn’t ready to check into, but we were given our all inclusive bands to take advantage of the bar and restaurant whilst we waited. The room was clean and ours overlooked the pool furthest from the bar, and was in a direction where we wouldn’t be hit by the sun which had pros and cons. The room didn’t come with a fridge (superior twin) which would have been handy as we had a little one and would have benefitted from storing some cool snacks in one for him but we know for next time! The food was average; it offered simplicities like pasta, chips and pizza for the kids and some exotic choices for adults, and plenty of fresh fruit. However my husband did have some raw chicken which put him off the meat for a few days. When it’s warm enough the pool closest to us offered some fun activities such as aqua gym, pool football and water carpet which both kids and adults can partake in. It was a great experience doing these and there’s some other activities hosted by the hotel staff such as yoga, mini golf, etc. However when it is raining there is limited activities for children and we did struggle when we had two days of rain. Another surprising feature was there is a coin operated washing machine and dryer which is accessible to anyone in the hotel. Definitely a great option for when you’ve run out of weather appropriate clothes! I’m going to finish the review by saying how amazing the staff are in this hotel. From the reception desk to the domestics and the dinner waiters, everyone was smiley, helpful and made our stay a great one. I’d recommend this hotel for a cheap break if you’re not planning on leaving your hotel, as there isn’t much to do in close proximity unless you’re planning to hop on a bus. We walked quite a distance to explore the surroundings but I wouldn’t call the area ‘touristy’ which was nice in some way.

First time to this hotel and I'm sure it won't be the last. The hotel complex is designed like a small whitewashed Spanish village. The gardens are beautiful and everywhere is spotlessly clean There are two pools and a central outdoor bar area. We found all the staff to be friendly and hardworking. We had a superior room on the ground floor of the Almeria Block which faced the larger of the two pools. This area is quieter at night as it is away from the entertainment stage. Our room was big enough to accommodate three beds and had a walk in shower. For a three star all inclusive hotel the food was absolutely fine. There was more than enough choice for even the fussy eater in our group. We definately have no complaints whatsoever.

This is such a lovely hotel. Beautiful gardens, 2 pools, very Spanish vibe ( the architecture, plants, traditional look and feel). We liked that the hotel is not too big (we don't like very high, massive hotels) - we had a nice room with terrace , very close to the pool. The food was nice. Evening entertainment was good. Very chilled atmosphere. Day time and evening kids entertainment. There is not much to do outside of the hotel tho, but the bus stops are close - you can easly get to Marbella or Puerto Banus. We also booked a Gibraltar trip. In overal I think the hotel is a great value for money. Highly recommended.

We’ve been 3 times for a total of 5 weeks. We’ve just returned from a 2 week trip and I have to say it may be are last one as the food was so bad that we only ate 1 dinner and went out for dinner every other night of the holiday. We watched as chicken and fish were cooked from frozen. The food all tastes on nothing and the smell in the dining area would put you off fish! Are first time at the hotel the food ok but it’s gotten worse every time! I love the hotel, the staff are amazing and the entertainment is good, the animations teams show is the best of the entertainment by far. I’ve met so many friends at this hotel and everyone one has said the same thing, They won’t be back unless something drastic happens with the Food.
