Blue Sea Gran Hotel Cervantes

..Stayed here the end of March 2013.. hotel sits on a main plaza just two blocks from the shopping street San Miguel, the train station and the gay bar area. Hotel looks to be recently renovated as everything is clean and shiny. Average but adequate pool area and enclosed pool on the roof with small gym and sauna. I took half board, the buffets were average, but there was usually one or two items that were nicely prepared. Overall, a good value and attractive hotel.

the location is brilliant, the staff works well with what they have. the bed spreads/throwover are not changed between each guest. the safe is 33 euro to use in the room. there is no iron in the room and we are charged to have our clothes ironed. the TV channels are all in spain, only able to watch CNN. we were also charged 33 euros to use the internet. there is no entertainment in the hotel apart from friday night. despite having a lovely area for this. no information is given to you on the day of arrival, about the hotel or the surrounding activities. the location is perfect and it is just 1.65euro on the train from and to the airport. i would stay at the hotel again but next time i will take my own entertainment, and bed covers. the food wasn't too bad, but there are a lot of restaurant near by.

great stay very friendly staff great location and will be going back next year!!!!!!!!

My stay at the hotel wasn't so great. It definetely wasn't four star, it needs to work on a few things. When my family and I first arrived to the hotel, the staff greeted us coldly. They weren't that friendly, it was as if they didn't care. When we got to our room it was nicely kept, clean and comfortable no problem there. But everytime we wanted to go to the pool, they never had any towels. Im talking about a week with no towels. Then if we wanted anything from the hotel, they would charge us for everything. My package wasn't all inclusive but I've heard a lot of complaints about the hotel food. So I suggest, you'd be better off eating outside than in the hotel, you will save a lot of money. The hotel itself was located in a good place though,a good distance to stores, beaches and train. We've been to better hotels. Overall, the hotel definetly needs some improvement on those things I listed above.

We stayed on an 4 night all inclusive stay having flown from Gatwick on BA - great and stylish hotel in an excellent location. Loads to eat and drink. Large sized double room with a view of the sea.

We enjoyed the Cervantes and would definately stay again. The renovated lobby area is very nice, pool area is great and with a children's pool. It was a bit of a walk down to the beach but was a nice walk. The only downside was that the pools are not heated and we were there late April and the water was FREEZING. Our poor 4 year old .... GREAT pricing for our stay and included breakfast and dinner buffet. Food got tiring quickly but was so convenient. I think the Cervantes would be much more fun if it had been a month later and warmer weather.

Great hotel in a good location with shopping and restaurants all around. 20 minute walk to the beach but rooms all have view of water.

This hotel is in a great location for anyone getting the train from Malaga airport, just get off the train at Torremolinos and it's on your left about 200 metres. The hotel is a about 750 metres from the beach but that distance involves going down many many steps of you can take an elevator there for 50 cents each way. Only bad things about the hotel were no English speaking TV channels, there was no alarm clock in the room and elevators were a little slow at peak times neither really bothered me. Staff were efficient in cleaning the rooms and check in was quick and friendly. Hotel was super value and I would recommend it for anyone seaking a quite break in the sun.

Great hotel with a great location. Will be back for sue!

Everything is ok. However, they do not have iron and ironing board. The reception is very friendly and they even helped us to send the postcard away. The location is excellent! Once you come out from the train station, look at your left hand, there you go...!
