Great Location

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Nice hotel in great location. Tea in room - but don’t put coffee/milk! Room could be cleaner - that said - they did clean daily (might I suggest less daily cleaning will give cleaner bit more time to attention to detail) Overall a nice hotel

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.

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.

Okay, but not even close to a 4 star

We stayed here in late October 2024. Positives. Quite cheap. Great staff. Fabulous location on the beach with great views Basic but clean rooms. Free soap in the bathroom Okay, but not great, food. The pool is fine. Cheep drinks at certain times of day. Negatives. Not even close to a 4 star hotel. More like a 2 star. Rooms are cold, poorly insulated, and the air con/heating barely works. The free soap is horrible and sticky, and there's no shampoo or similar. Some rooms are smoking rooms and, as the insulation is terrible, it makes the non-smoking rooms stink, too. Very clinical and dated, almost like sleeping in a sports centre.

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.
