Lovely clean hotel, spacious comfortable room. Excellent value for money. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, but don't expect traditional "full English" (sausages and bacon were not at all pleasant!) Dining room was crowded at weekend (queues in corridor), so timing is... more

Hotel food awful, bar depressing....however La Cala wonderful village with nice beaches. Fantastic bar not far from hotel called "Ocean Lounge" ran by Paul. Good food, decent priced drinks and service with a smile. Worth a trip there just to see Paul!

Although Saga holidays have usually been of a high standard this hotel left much to be desired. As it included Christmas and New Year we expected to experience an atmosphere of celebration but this was far from the case. Decoration was of the minimal only three meals could... more

I agree with Mr Dell in part,(not that I went with Saga) the food was not up to the standard of a 4 star hotel; and having the tables cleared and set for breakfast at 8pm when the restaurant is open till 9 is not on, as I pointed out to the management.. The out of hours... more

This was my wife’s first time abroad, and she was amazed, the hotel service and standards were great, the beach was just 20m from our room and the food was generally good just personal preferences are a bit finicky, always plenty of it though. The staff were friendly and... more

I can not believe this is still in SAGA Brochure, La Cala is great village, quite modern but Hotel is now down from 4 star to 3 star and that is being kind. Food is awful & cold, it gets worse with every day - eggs cooked for you in morning only edible thing !!! Staff were... more

More Traveller reviews of VIK Gran Hotel Costa del Sol

Christmas and New Year
We stayed at this hotel for 23 nights over christmas and new year. After reading some reviews we were a little apprehensive but pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean and spacious but we were near the main road and found it quite noisy with the door open but did get a room transfer nearer the sea and it was a lot quieter. A major point to make when travelling by car is that they charge 10euros a night to park in the hotel grounds, but there is plenty of safe free parking nearby. The food was good and always something to eat,if a... more
What a deal!
Went on a last minute deal as it was so cheap with lastminute.com - £140 for two nights all inclusive and the flight. The hotel was more than adequate and the staff were friendly. The overall feel of this place is very much geared around older holidaymakers, and the entertainment has been customised for this group. However, this did not have a negative impact on how much we enjoyed ourselves as a younger group, and if anything, added to the general mood. It was refreshing not to have to share the pool area with young children, and... more
Fabulous darling!!!!
After the exam stress, my friend and I took ourselves off on a little holiday. We booked it last minute, as we found such a good deal for all inclusive on the internet. We got put at this hotel, and were so delighted with it. The place was absolutely spotless, and the staff members were all really friendly. We were put in a room at the back of the hotel (overlooking the dried up stream), which meant that we had the sunshine all day, beating in on our room. The air conditioning in the room worked brilliant, so the room wasn't too hot at... more
Loved It
GRAN HOTEL COSTA DEL SOL We have just returned 14 June 2006 from a holiday at this hotel and really enjoyed a lovely relaxing break. The rooms were excellent, and very clean and the air conditioning couldn't have been better. The pool was really for children but you could swim at one end if wished. There were lovely grass areas with the pool and the beach bar inbetween where there were plenty of sunbeads and umbrellas. Here you could sunbathe away from the children in the pool (if you wished) and watch the sea. The... more
Nice, Clean and good value
My wife and I stayed here for two nights while on on a trip to see my parents who live in La Cala De Mijas. Had read the previous reviews and on checkin, which was excellent by the way, we asked for a room on the side of the hotel that didn't overlook the river bed that runs down one side of the hotel. The receptionsist was more than willing to give us a room where we wanted. The lobby is very clean and nicely decorated, the lifts were all good and the room was nice. Good size balcony, two double beds in our standard room, and the... more
Excellent hotel but be careful where your room is
Hotel is all you would expect from a four star but unfortunately some rooms overlook a dried up stream which does not smell very nice and attracts flies. We were allocated a room on the first floor facing the pool but found it a bit off-putting that everyone walking past could see in. The Receptionist was very helpful and offered us room 632 instead. On initial inspection the view was fantastic but once stepping out onto the balcony we couldn't get away from the flies. They made you feel that they were on you all the time, we felt awful... more
a place to avoid
We have just returned from 4 weeks here and we found it to be awful. Unless you are lucky your room will overlook either the car park and garage or worse still a polluted river - with dead cat. Entertainment almost non existant unless you like Flamenco dancing at least 3 times a week. Very very busy at weekends with locals taking over the hotel, almost to the exclusion of anyone else. The hotel is right on the beach but there is no promenade to walk on and the beach is difficult-certainly not the place for people with walking... more
Orange Juice has gone
Further to my earlier review (August 2005), I must report that the real orange juice has now disappeared. There is still real tomato juice at breakfast but they have, unfortunately, gone down the normal route of offering diluted cordial instead of fruit juice. Why, when they grow so many oranges in Spain? The hotel still offers excellent value for money and we will be back. The rooms on the front get the afternoon sun so make sure you get a room with an even number.
A bit deceiving...
We stayed 14 nights from Dec 20 to Jan 3 2006. A British enclave on Spanish territory. The average age is around 70. The meals reflect the renown good culinary tastes of Britons!... Nothing Spanish in the cuisine; too bad. There is problem with the temperature of food: it is mostly lukewarm. Contrary to the information one can read on the Internet, there is no access to it in the rooms: three machines in a reading room that swallow euros at a F1 rate of speed and keep freezing. The employees at the desk are unable to dispense valuable... more
The S.B.C. Golf Society will be coming back
This was our first trip to play golf overseas with the Gran Hotel being chosen for our accommodation off the internet. It wasn't until a few months later I saw Trip Advisor and saw the reviews, especially the one giving a 2 star rating. This was in the back of our minds until we actually arrived, but as soon as we were warmly welcomed at reception our fears were allayed. The rooms were spotless in fact the whole hotel was constantly being cleaned. Choice of food in the Dining room was excellent ranging from salads to hot dishes to freshly... more
