It’s a three star hotel, and, for that level of accreditation, deserves a five star review. Essentially it’s a low rise hotel, based around five plazas, or squares. Three plazas have swimming pools, one a garden, and one a bar and the stage. The complex has beautifully manicured gardens. Standards of hygiene are high. The rooms are basic but clean, and deluxe rooms have bigger balconies, a fridge, and a kettle. Food is excellent. It could be a little repetitive, but it’s an all inclusive buffet, so there’s always something for everyone. The seafood themed dinner featured king prawns, clams, and razor clams. Freshly cooked meat is omnipresent, paella as rice or noodles too. There is a carrefour supermarket two minutes away, a small shop within the hotel, and two smaller shops near the hotel car park. We’ve been before, and enjoyed it sufficiently to return. Prices are creeping up, but it’s still good value. There’s not much to do in the immediate vicinity. A 15 minute walk takes you into the town of San Pedro. The main square with church and town hall is picturesque. There are bars/restaurants/shops. It’s a ten minute walk from the hotel to the beach. It’s fairly stony. There’s a wide promenade. Walking to the left will take you to Puerto Banus after a further 25 minutes. We’ve also used El Cortijo Blanco as a base to travel to Gibraltar, Seville, and Ronda, using public transport. Marbella, and, in the opposite direction, Estapona, are 15 minutes away by bus. As three star hotels go, this is great. We will visit again.
