What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cortijo Blanco Beach is praised for its friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent value as an all-inclusive resort. Guests enjoy the multiple pools and the convenient location with easy access to local transport and the beach. Some minor drawbacks include repetitive food and occasional service inconsistencies, but overall, it's considered a great choice for a relaxed holiday.
"Our first time in San Pedro and this hotel was a great choice! We had a downstairs room by the pool with a little terrace which was nice as it gives you a little privacy. The rooms were clean and well looked after.
The hotel has two pools, we pretty much only used the one near our room.
Food was plenty and a good variety of meat, fish, vegetables. It was maybe a little repetitive; the hotel did specials each night though and seafood night was awesome.
The location is great and the hotel offers free shuttle buses to Puerto Banus, San Pedro. Local buses will take you to Marbella or Estepona and the bus stop is just outside the hotel. The beach is a short walk away with more food and drink options available."

"Spent a fabulous week at this lovely hotel in June 2025. All inclusive so drinks weren’t branded but good enough for 3*. Rooms clean and staff friendly. Food good. I especially liked small and friendly vibe."

"We stayed in August with two children, ages 7 and 12. The hotel was very clean and Spanish-style. There are activities for children during the day and in the evenings. They weren't as great as in Turkey or Gran Canaria, where we also stayed at a TUI hotel, but they were okay. The children enjoyed their stay. The food was tasty but a bit repetitive. The food was mainly geared towards English people (breakfast: eggs, bacon, beans, sausages), of whom about 95% were English, but that's okay because the English were very nice and friendly. The hotel is close to a sandy/rocky beach (about 800 meters). The beach was clean and beautiful. The hotel's location is good, but the very center of San Pedro is about 3 km away. The district is well-connected. There are shops and bars serving local/regional dishes nearby. The hotel staff was very good, very helpful, and professional. The rooms were clean. The drinks and cocktails at the bars were excellent. The coffee from the vending machines on the hotel grounds was nothing special. The two swimming pools (one large and one smaller) were clean, and there was no problem getting sun loungers. There's another pool, but it's for small children. This hotel is ideally located for exploring nearby attractions and places. Puerto Banús is 3 km away, Marbella is 10 km away, Gibraltar is about 68 km away, and Malaga is 68 km away. There's a car rental service at the hotel next door, which I highly recommend. I highly recommend this hotel and hope to return. As for the service, I had the impression that the lady at the main bar, the older one with dark hair, Carmen, didn't like Poles... I heard a comment about Poles twice. The rest of the service was fantastic. Best regards to Piotrek, a Polish hotel staff member 👍👌"
