TUI SUNEO Globales Cortijo Blanco

7th time here so you know this will be a good review. If you're after a laid back atmosphere, good drinks, friendly guests & staff then this is ideal. The hotel isn't in a major resort but is about 10 mins walk from beach. Peurto Banus & San Pedro are about 30 mins walk or 10E in taxi. Hotel is low rise & grounds are well maintained & clean with many trees & flowers. We pay for a Superior room as we like a balcony. Standard rooms just have juliette balconies FYI. Rooms are basic but adequate & cleaned daily. There's a main pool with usual activities, but we use the quieter pool. Never a problem getting sun beds. Can see some reviews mention the food quality but we've always found it to be good. 2 fish & 2 meats cooked fresh, plus casseroles etc. Paella, pizza & pasta as back ups. Some days better than others but that's how all inclusives are. Hotel entertainment is you're standard fayre. Music nights are good & even the more "interesting" shows are good enough given the excellent bar! Now a big shout out to the bar staff. Bar can get busy but you never wait long. Some staff have your drinks ready while you queue. Some are friendlier than others but all really good... except I'm afraid to say (didn't really want to have to do this) Carlos. On every visit he seems to go out of his way to be rude. Now, it can't be an easy job & people have different personalities, but surely a please, thankyou or even eye contact isn't difficult. We honestly thought it was just us, but after speaking to other return guests (and there are a lot) others felt the same. Weirdly not all TBF so he must pick his victims LOL! It's a shame because it lets down an otherwise first class team but there it is. There's also a token system at the bar now. You have to hand tokens in to get a glass each & return your glasses for next drink. I suppose it saves clearing tables & people ordering multiple drinks. It's a bit of a pain but fine with us. Other than those two very minor points we had a great time again. We've paid a lot more over the years to stay at 4 star hotels but this is just as good, if not better than many of them. Thanks to all staff again you do a great job. It's always appreciated. See you soon.

Dinner ok Evening meal a bit the same as the day before. Great rooms again in Granada block. Token system worked for drinks Staff as last year all smiles and nothing a problem . Looks like it's a week here in May every year now..

Another stay at this hotel .. second time Friendly staff from reception , to bar staff to housekeeping to animation team New animation leader Alicia is a breath of fresh air in comparison to the last few years Room spacious and clean Ended up eating out a lot this time , food always cold .. we did mention to the rep re the food and was told she had only received one other complaint Going by the reviews so far it seems to be an issue but doesn’t seem to be addressed .. apart from this issue no other complaints Steve

Before booking this hotel last year, I’d looked at the reviews and at the time, there were more positives than negatives about the food. I decided to take a risk but wish I’d paid more and gone elsewhere. On arrival, my friend and I checked in but got to the room to find a double bed and not the twin room that I’d booked. Got that sorted and headed off to look around. The hotel itself is lovely. The social area is great, the pools are nice, although really cold, the bar staff work really hard and fast but found housekeeping poor and the food was even worse. I didn’t have one hot meal and being a fussy eater, I struggled to find much to eat. Most food was the same daily although one counter would have a different speciality each night and the meat changed daily. They just don’t seem to be able to keep food hot. Much of the meat was fatty and lots of tiny flies were over the fruit and bread areas. Sheets weren’t changed during our week there, that might be the norm. I had left a note asking for them to be changed but they weren’t. Towels were mostly stained and one day, the shower mat towel was full of silicone bits. The poor reviews on food are accurate. When googling the area, I was under the impression that the beach and promenade were a short walk away but it took us nearly 20 minutes to get there. It seems some people paid a lot less than we did. Would I go back? Unfortunately, no.
