Many find housekeeping solid, though public areas and sunbeds show wear, and the pool feels small for the hotel’s size. Food choice is broad but quality and temperature vary, and the dining room can feel dark or canteen-like. Expect a simple, beachside stay with great views and some dated edges.

Facilities
Beachfront access is a clear strength, but facilities feel dated: the pool is small for the property, sunbeds are uncomfortable or in short supply, and bar options/hours are limited. Parking is available but can be paid or sometimes full.

Our second visit to this hotel only because the location is ideal on the beach front and especially for local walking access in La Cala. Reception staff are abrupt and not at all welcoming. The corridor carpets are dirty and well worn, but the rooms are a good size with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and housekeeping staff are good. Infuriating that there is no iron & board available - why? Buffet restaurant is dull, as no natural light but breakfast options are good. The pool bar is average. As mentioned in my previous review, the grass area with sunbeds is awful as always soaking wet and muddy - sunbeds need an upgrade as most uncomfortable and many broken. Again as mentioned previously, this is not a 4* hotel by a ‘long shot’ and is certainly not value for money. The general condition of the hotel and amenities are well below the standard of what is expected of a 4* hotel. However, I guess because of its prime location it continues to attract repeat and new guests, but they do not really care about providing a great guest experience. Suffice to say the hotel needs a total refurbishment, but I’m guessing that will not be the case!

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.

Meget bra renhold, bytting av hådklær og div. Hyggelige folk i resepsjon, stor frokost bufeet,nydelig utsikt til bassengområde og sjø. Butikker, apotek og lege i nærmeste nabolag,og kort gange til sentrum a La Cala. Effektiv airconditioning. Litt mye støy fra musikkanlegg ved aktiviteter i og ved bassenget, men greit.

Quem leu muito e ia com algumas reservas tem a seguinte opinião, Estadia de Tudo Incluído (TI). Localização- excelente, vila sossegada e com muito potencial. Receção- muito atenciosos e atendimento simples; Quarto- Espaçoso limpeza, diária, a salientar que a iniciativa de mudança de toalhas a nosso pedido e não diária pois assim poupamos um pouco o ambiente. estivemos alojados no ultimo andar onde existe um som fantasma durante a noite no meu caso muito incomodativo, já tinha sido reportado anteriormente mas não foi resolvido; Sala de refeição- com um staff muito bom na nossa chegada, menos bom após a rotação de pessoal, saliento a atenção das chefes de sala 5*. Alimentação - pequeno almoço muito bom, mas após de dois dias de almoço e jantar tornasse muito repetitivo o que muda é o almoço, pode ser do meu gosto alimentar mas só uma vez e depois de questionar nos ofereceram um tipo de paelha ao jantar. Pena pois sendo um hotel de 4 * ...... Área de Lazer- Piscina e bar - piscina pequena boa para só relaxar não nadar. O bar com bebidas à "discrição". Ginásio - um aproveitamento de um espaço pouco equipado e com pouca arejamento, torna-se obrigado a abrir as portas. Bar noturno - funcionamento após o encerramento do bar da piscina com o mesmo tipo de serviço. Nota negativa para o estado das espreguiçadeira, as cadeira do bar da piscina bastante sujas, e o TI sem gelados para criança e o café de máquina se é que se pode chamar café, aconselho o Hotel usar café em capsulas.

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.

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.

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.

Staff excellent, location great. Kettle in room but not coffee or milk supplied. Asked for coffee and the local supermarket was the answer. Requires work for the 4 star advertising, tired in places. Air conditioning was not available at this time although it was 16-20 degrees overnight. Located near to centre by beach. Plenty of on site and off site parking, Vehicle not required for location. Dining area in basement location, dark and hot. Limited breakfast selection. Adequate for short stay. Bathroom serviced and clean.

Wir waren nur eine Nacht da. Personal war sehr freundlich, Zimmer schön groß mit Seitenblick auf das Meer - toller Sonnenaufgang. Frühstück war gut. Pool und Strand haben wir nicht genutzt. Parken konnten wir kostenlos in der Nähe. Uns hat es gut gefallen, aber wir waren auch nur kurz da.

Our second visit to this hotel only because the location is ideal on the beach front and especially for local walking access in La Cala. Reception staff are abrupt and not at all welcoming. The corridor carpets are dirty and well worn, but the rooms are a good size with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and housekeeping staff are good. Infuriating that there is no iron & board available - why? Buffet restaurant is dull, as no natural light but breakfast options are good. The pool bar is average. As mentioned in my previous review, the grass area with sunbeds is awful as always soaking wet and muddy - sunbeds need an upgrade as most uncomfortable and many broken. Again as mentioned previously, this is not a 4* hotel by a ‘long shot’ and is certainly not value for money. The general condition of the hotel and amenities are well below the standard of what is expected of a 4* hotel. However, I guess because of its prime location it continues to attract repeat and new guests, but they do not really care about providing a great guest experience. Suffice to say the hotel needs a total refurbishment, but I’m guessing that will not be the case!

I stayed in the Gran in November no Irish tv stations on and English stations just work intermittently. This stay tv the same useless. We were asked for ten euro per day to park a car and park practically empty. Two euro per day for safe key. Use of safe in any hotel is free. The bath and hand towels were an absolute disgrace. The towels had holes in them and the sides all frayed with material strings hanging from them. When I complained they apologised and next day’s towels were exactly the same. I informed them that we woul never stay again.

Clearly the largest hotel in the vicinity. I would describe the hotel as very fit for purpose. The room was spacious with a delightful balcony which allowed the sound of the rolling waves to be heard. The dining room was understandably large but it meant that there was always a place to sit. A great variety of food was available and if you like your pudding then this is the go to place! The staf, whilst busy, were all friendly and attentive.

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.

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.

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.

Dining
Buffet offers a wide selection and some guests enjoyed the food and breakfast, but quality and temperature are inconsistent and the dining room can feel dark or canteen-like. Dishes can be repetitive, and coffee and tableware quality drew complaints.

Quem leu muito e ia com algumas reservas tem a seguinte opinião, Estadia de Tudo Incluído (TI). Localização- excelente, vila sossegada e com muito potencial. Receção- muito atenciosos e atendimento simples; Quarto- Espaçoso limpeza, diária, a salientar que a iniciativa de mudança de toalhas a nosso pedido e não diária pois assim poupamos um pouco o ambiente. estivemos alojados no ultimo andar onde existe um som fantasma durante a noite no meu caso muito incomodativo, já tinha sido reportado anteriormente mas não foi resolvido; Sala de refeição- com um staff muito bom na nossa chegada, menos bom após a rotação de pessoal, saliento a atenção das chefes de sala 5*. Alimentação - pequeno almoço muito bom, mas após de dois dias de almoço e jantar tornasse muito repetitivo o que muda é o almoço, pode ser do meu gosto alimentar mas só uma vez e depois de questionar nos ofereceram um tipo de paelha ao jantar. Pena pois sendo um hotel de 4 * ...... Área de Lazer- Piscina e bar - piscina pequena boa para só relaxar não nadar. O bar com bebidas à "discrição". Ginásio - um aproveitamento de um espaço pouco equipado e com pouca arejamento, torna-se obrigado a abrir as portas. Bar noturno - funcionamento após o encerramento do bar da piscina com o mesmo tipo de serviço. Nota negativa para o estado das espreguiçadeira, as cadeira do bar da piscina bastante sujas, e o TI sem gelados para criança e o café de máquina se é que se pode chamar café, aconselho o Hotel usar café em capsulas.
