Budget accommodation, a bit hard to find by the square. We got top floor with nice balcony. Nice view with sunshine.

Fantastic room, amazing sea view, very clean, very cheap water and other drinks from the mini bar. Perfect location.

Very simple place but exactly what I wanted. Quiet but in the very centre of Mijas..the instructions to get there could be better (not everyone arrives by car!) and it was a bit disconcerting that there were no staff on duty but it was easy to understand how to get in but

A typical cosy Spanish room with stunning view overlooking the sea. Great location. Would recommend.
11.03.2025 Rene
Nice and quiet location, the room unfortunately very small and with no ventilation nor heating in the bathroom, so after a shower the entire bathroom was wet and slippery for the rest of our stay

This place has a great location just steps from dining, shops and has a Birds Eye view of the Costa del Sol! It is very clean and the staff are quite friendly.

There were a lot of fleas on the bed in the room, and they bit me all over in the middle of the night.

Food tastes awful. We were disgusted and could not finish our plates. The desserts came directly from the packaging.
26.08.2017 Josh
Tapas was absolutely terrible. Obviously reheated. Absolute garbage. Save your money. Lots better options
26.08.2017 Helen
Food was not good at all. The paella just tasted of garlic and the cesar salad was awful. Style but no substance. The best thing about this restaurant is the view.

Our family got diarrhea, ripuli, la diarrea from this place. Food was tasteless and service was rude. Nice view though.
21.08.2017 neil
Friendly but very slow service. Lunch special had choice of starter plus main as well as a dessert. Ordered the salad to start and a porkchop for main. The salad was poor. Old lettuce, under seasoned. The pork chop was decent but they gave a me another salad with the pork chop. After finishing my drink before the food came out I was never offered another. And no dessert at the end. Don't be tricked by the "view". It just overlooks a bus park. There has to be better places in Mijas.
21.07.2017 Sinead
Really good Menu del Dia. Great value and quality, kids and adults loved the choice and was simple but very good food. Excellent service from the waiters. Definitely recommend for a nice lunch alfresco on the terrace with great views to Mijas Costa and lovely cooling breeze on a very hot day.
