The hotel is perfectly adequate for a short weekend break but I would be disappointed if I chose it for my main holiday. The location is excellent, there is ample parking and the reception staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel its self is rather tired. The photos on the website make it look some what more impressive than it is. The reality is holes in hallway carpets, dirty walls and 1980´s beige. The room was spacious with a kettle and a fridge and the bed was ok. The rooms are not very soundproof and we were woken by other guests in the corridor both nights. I am glad we did not book half board as the breakfast was disappointing. The hot food was all cold and the restaurant area was more canteen than restaurant. You have to collect your own cutlery whilst collecting your food. No cloths on the tables just cheapened the experience. On a positive note, the coffee from the machines was really tasty.

Beautiful hotel with a great beach and easy access to all areas of southern Spain and almost in the center of the south Access to Marbella. It’s a beautiful city and all kinds of brands to shop If you rent a car, you won't lose, but arrange and reserve parking in advance at this hotel. This hotel is in beautiful city Mijas🙏

On the beach, very clean hotel. Staff were very helpful. Only dislike the open beach club music noisy in full view sea rooms. Everything was easy lovely beach holiday.Walking bliss

Hotel is in a lovely positon clean and tidy. More sunbeds needed and they need upgrading really uncomfortable and pool isnt big enough for the amount of guests.

Good location, friendly staff & good food. My only negative were the bars, of which there are only two. One by the pool open from 9.30am-8pm and the other in the hotel, open 8pm-1.30am. This meant that we could only get a drink at the pool during the day in 30C+ heat, with very little shade if you were lucky to find a seat. The drinks were obviously served in small plastic cups & not worth the walk to take it back to the hotel to drink. Even though we were all inclusive, we ended up buying a bottle of wine to drink on our balcony. Although there is parking at the hotel, when we arrived there were no spaces available and had to find off-street parking.

Thia property is average. I would say overpriced.

reasonable value for money

Hotel needs updating but very clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent and good variety.Great location just on the beach. Good hotel but not 4 star

Bedroom was fabulous and spotlessly clean. Up on 6th floor noise travels and it was extremly noisy at times.

Stayed for 3 nights, the hotel is right next to the beach with plenty of places to eat and drink. The hotel was clean, beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly. We had breakfast included which was average.

Hi my husband and me had a good week at Gran Hotel. We did all inclusive , enty of choice in food , loads of fresh fruit, wich pleased us. If your food was not hot enough for you a microwave was available. The rooms are ok. Bathroom a bit tired, but all in the room was ok. Lots of sun loungers , entertainment on an evening was ok. We enjoyed are holiday.

Yes the property is old and prepare yourself for a time warp to 70’s Spanish Hotel when you go down the dark wood corridor. However, the rooms where a good modern standard, clean and housekeeping came every day. There was a fridge and kettle. The view was beautiful. There was an “arroyo” down one side of hotel but it didn’t smell at the beach end. I had room only so did not sample the food but most people were All Inclusive. The pool was ridiculously small and very very shallow. Not much use for swimming and was really disappointing for a hotel of this size. However the location right on the beach made up for this. All in all I would be quite happy to stay here again as a base.

Lovely clean hotel, efficient and polite staff with any problem dealt with quickly.. Lovely pool area also just next to the sea.

All good

This hotel has many positives, perfect location, excellent service and delicious food with a good range of options offered at every meal. However, much of the hotel is very dated and desperately needs updating, particularly the bar and dining room. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Enjoyed our stay, will book again property could do with internal upgrade.

The hotel location is great and members, however, our first night was a nightmare, very noisy, and also in the morning, we coudnt stay at the swiming pool, as a group of drunkers were chouting and thete was not relax time.

Excellent location, right on the beach and a short walk to a good selection of bars and restaurants. Short walk to busses going either direction every 30 minutes. Buffet breakfast lunch and dinner has a huge selection of food. The hotel is showing its age in places but clean and perfectly ok to stay in.

A short stay - right in the beach and only few mins walk from the centre of La Cala

Very attentive, friendly and polite staff. There was a wide choice of food in the very clean dining room but the lighting made it feel like a canteen. Food/plates could have been hotter though a microwave oven was available. Fruit juice was available and the hot drinks machine offered a selection of coffees, chocolate, milk and water to make tea at breakfast. At dinner time drinks could be purchased from the bar but tap water was available in jugs when requested. The bar/entertainment area was not very welcoming though a wide selection of drinks was available. Our twin room on the 5th floor was cleaned daily. The beds were very comfortable and the balcony offered great views of the pool, beach bar, the beach and the Med Sea. The mirror wardrobes were spacious and there was plenty of storage in drawers and a fridge. Car parking was gated but was an extra €70 for the week. It was an easy and very pleasant walk of about 10 minutes along the beach boardwalk into Cala Mijas with its variety of shops and restaurants. It was a convenient location for the many golf courses in the area and the local park(virtually next door) offered petanc courts, an outdoor gym and a children’s play area. All in all it was a great week’s stay and we would definitely book the Vik Gran again.
