Gran Cervantes by Blue Sea

Set in the heart of Torremolinos and with views of Playa del Lido and the Mediterranean Sea, the Gran Cervantes by Blue Sea makes an idyllic spot for a holiday to the Costa del Sol. Its central location means you’ll be within a stones’ throw of a whole host of shops, bars and restaurants, and less than a 10-minute walk from the nearest sandy beach.

Cool off after a busy morning with a dip in the outdoor pool, open from April to mid October,  or relax and sunbathe on a hammock by the poolside. There’s also a kids’ pool for little ones to splash in. Alternatively, head up to the heated indoor pool on the rooftop terrace for a swim, or a drink with a view at the Skyline Bar.

If you’re in need of some added relaxation, look no further than the hotel spa, which offers a variety of massages and is home to a sauna. To keep yourself entertained you can challenge your friends and family to a game of ping pong or pool, or enjoy the shows put on by the animation team during the summer season.

Start your day with a buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant, then enjoy local and international cuisine in the evening with a menu that changes daily. Feeling thirsty? Visit one of four hotel bars, including one at the poolside that’s perfect for soaking up the sun.

Just so you know, the rooftop pool does not have disabled access and is covered and heated from November to March and is uncovered and unheated in summer.
