What guests think

At Gran Hotel Guadalpín Banus, travelers praise the friendly multilingual staff, generous breakfasts, and sea‑view suites, while recurring critiques cite dated rooms, ongoing renovations with many facilities closed, very firm mattresses, and uneven maintenance.

Guests like the direct beach access and walkable distance to Puerto Banús and the seafront promenade. Breakfast is frequently highlighted as very good, but on-site restaurants, spa and some areas are often shut, especially off season, and beach sunbeds or parking can incur extra fees. Overall, expect a scenic, relaxing stay tempered by limited facilities and a hotel that shows its age.

Nice property, but many of the on-site conveniences, luxuries and restaurants were not available. Regardless, the room was very nice. Off season prices probably need a revisit. The beach was littered, likely from a recent storm. (not the hotels fault). Big ugly barricade around the pool, probably some sort of mandate out of their control. Breakfast was good. Room cleanliness, also good. Again, I think value for the price was compromised by so many things shuttered, taped off (yes, actual tape), and closed. We were offered a discount prior to arrival making us aware that some on-site facilities would be closed. That facilities were still closed, but the 30% discount was not honored.

The hotel is nice, it has it own private beach, but the paying to lay on the hotel sun beds on the beach is a rip off, we chose this hotel as it was on the beach, didn’t expect to be paying 15€ EACH to go on the beach, also the beach has a strong smell of seaweed…

Proberbly once a great hotel but now a bit worn down/renovation ongoing. The dbl room we got was so tiny that we had no space to put our suitcases, but on the bed or on the floor, blocking the hallway. In the description it says "you can relax in a sunbed on the beach" but not that it was a 15 euro charge for that. The Upside: The bed was great and the staff fantastic. The breakfast buffet offers what you could expect.

we had a nice, relaxing 5-day stay and enjoyed our terrace with hottub, which is a Junior Suite on the roof. That part was great. However, there is limited dining and no parking, but we were pre-warned about that. The hotel and room need updating there were many things worn out or not working - the taps had lost their chrome coating, the oven hotplates had a extractor fan and light which didn't work, and a lot of the wood trims were worn and needing repair and repainting. Around the hotel was run down, the beach bar was shut there was only one dining option, nothing more outside the hotel except a 15 - 20 min walk to Puerto Banus. For us it was fine as we had a car, but the hotel is not well located for easily dining out. Would we go back? Maybe, if the room was offered at a good rate.

We knew the restaurants at the hotel were closed, what we didn’t expect was the areas to have been abandoned. It was eeery. The hotel also looked like it wasn’t being maintained whilst the ownership dispute was ongoing. The hotel was tired looking. The hotel staff did a great job keeping the hotel running, but it was a significant downgrade from past years we’ve stayed. Such a shame, with an impact on our trip.

Très bel hôtel ! Vieillissant mais toujours bien . Emplacement de rêve . Les chambres centrales ont une vue magnifique sur la piscine et sur la mer. Quelques améliorations à apporter . - la porte vitrée séparant le WC de la salle de bains, grince terriblement. - le système de distribution du savon, shampoing, crèmes…est bien mais pas toujours pratique, puisque fixè aux murs.Pour que ce soit bien, il faudrait en rajouter 2 : distributeurs au niveau bas de la baignoire (accessible quand on y est allongé ) Et egalement au niveau du bidet. L’hôtel est propre, si on veut bien accepter beaucoup de fourmis . La piscine et la restauration y est très bonne

On the hole we had a fabulous stay at Xmas at the Guadalpin. The location just off the beach is perfect and a 20 min walk into Puerto Banus. The hotel is very clean and all the waiters were extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent with good selection and eggs cooked to your liking. Like a few hotels in the region the decor is tired and does need some TLC and to be modernised. Would like to see management at breakfast help their waiters a bit more in times of busy periods rather than thinking their to important to help out and maybe a salt and pepper pot on all tables so guest don’t have to go searching for the elusive one set. If i was asked to stay here again I would for the right price.

The hotel is in a great location between Puerto Banus and San Pedro right at the beach. We were staying jn a suite which although clean with great space was a bit tired in places abd definitely needed a rewire, sockets not working or coming out wall. The bed was really hard and very uncomfortable fir me personally. The staff were very attentive and the food was ok.

Short stay at the hotel in January. Hotel staff were absolutely fantastic. I was poorly during trip and the staff helped my husband with arrangements to be seen at the hospital and arranged a driver who was equally great. Daily the team checked in on how I was and couldn’t do enough for us. My husband had many meals either on the breakfast terrace or in the cocktail bar without me and said each was great. The only issue is the rooms would benefit from a bit of love and care and the sound proofing needs a bit of attention but we would definitely visit again

Generally a good hotel, the closure of the restaurants does have a negative impact as part of the pool area ins used for seating, reducing space for sun beds. A few other negatives to mention, beach beds are €15 a day, which isn’t mentioned on the website, also a beer at the pool bar is €8!
