“Perfectly fine”

After reading some of the reviews I was sceptical about booking this hotel, but the price was right and the location seemed good so I went ahead. Now, this hotel isn't the height of luxury but it's perfectly fine for a few nights by the beach. I wanted something cheap and easy, for a bit of spring sun and it didn't disappoint. The rooms were fine and clean, with a nice wide balcony. beds could be better but not awful. The location is fabulous, right in the middle of Cala de Mijas and with a boardwalk on the beach leading to restaurants, beach cafes and supermarkets. I went full board, would have gone for all-inclusive but didn't have the option when booking. I suppose it depends on how much you want to drink, I bought drinks from the bars when I wanted them. A glass of wine at dinner was less than 5 euros, cocktails were between 8-10 euros and often came with complimentary nuts or crackers. But as other reviews stated, there wasn't really anywhere to sit in the evenings and have a quiet drink on site as the one evening I went to the lounge bar, there was loud entertainment going on. Again, the food was fine. Some dishes were better than others and the quality wasn't outstanding but there was always fresh fruit and vegetables available with lots of choices. The only major complaint was that no coffee was available at dinner, and on a few occasions, I would have liked one.

Myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vik Gran Hotel at the end of March into April. The staff at the hotel were super friendly including the bar staff Daniel and Nacho who even helped to organise bringing out a birthday cake for my sister and singing Happy Birthday in the Hotel bar. In Terms of Food, the breakfast has lots of choice with different varieties of pastries each morning e.g Pain Au Chocolate, Pain Au Raisin etc and then a selection of fried food, cereal and fruit - the coffees from coffee machine are really nice too. The pool bar does not serve food on the all inclusive package, meaning that you have to go indoors to eat when it’s sunny outside- however the prices are fair, a toasted panini with side of crisps is €2.80. The pool bar also closes at 5pm which I thought was a little early considering the sun was still out at this time. The pool itself is quite shallow and is more of a kids pool but is literally within 10 steps to the beach which is amazing. The rooms were perfect, clean and comfy beds and a nice balcony. Staff at reception were friendly and helpful and you can extend your checkout from 12 to 6 for 30 euros which is quite useful if you have a late flight. I would definitely return to this hotel again, thank you to all staff at the Vik Gran for being so welcoming.

“One night stay!”

We stayed here for one night. First impression was that we were stepping back in time! We did not go into the restaurant, it looked busy. We had a drink at the beach bar and the waiter said he could not accept a card or charging to room and that “cash was king” - we saw other guests using their c... more

We stayed here for one night. First impression was that we were stepping back in time! We did not go into the restaurant, it looked busy. We had a drink at the beach bar and the waiter said he could not accept a card or charging to room and that “cash was king” - we saw other guests using their cards after us!!! The room was quite large as was the bathroom, it was clean enough but showed signs of wear and tear. The room was quite hot at night, the air con was on “winter settings”. There was a smell of sewage from the water outlet outside and we could smell this sitting on our balcony. The hotel is a 4 star, I would say 3 star.
