Higueron Hotel Malaga, Curio Collection by Hilton

Be prepared for a hot room as the AC is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Room also had a bit of a smell and floors were dirty - in response a cleaner was sent to our room and she sprayed the curtains twice with air freshener and left. Service wasn’t great either. When I asked at reception for a bottle of water I was told “this is not a bar” which was fairly dismissive. Not totally unusual for hotel receptions to have complimentary water at reception (especially a sports heavy hotel) but was made to feel like a plonker for asking. Pool area(s) were nice but no very limited umbrellas for shade at the main pool. Possibly an attempt to drive people to the top floor pool which does have shade and less conveniently a 200 euro minimum spend pp. Overall the rooms and settings are nice and modern, quite art deco but a bit conference looking. Sports facilities look top class and the gym was massive and well kitted out. We also took a free shuttle to the beach club (shuttle was not designed for the Spanish speed bumps so be prepared for a bumpy ride). Again there is minimum 200 euro spend for Balinese beds at the beach club or a 20 euro cover charge per person for a sunbed on the beach. Food and drinks were good but prepare to pay 15 euro a cocktail. We dined at the Japo restaurant which was very good. Hotel breakfast was also good. Location wise it was 20 mins from airport and a short drive to the beach. We had a car so was easy to get to Malaga and Marbella also.

Very clean and excellent service

Super nice hotel and services. Sportsclub, spa, pools, infinity pool, beachclub, mutiple choicesnfor food , great brekfast,beatiful architecture.

The hotel is visually stunning—modern, elegant, and full of beautiful art. You can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into making it feel special, and the rooms are stylish and comfortable. But there were a few major letdowns. The biggest one: the rooftop infinity pool, which is heavily promoted on the website and all booking platforms, is not included in your stay. You only find out at check-in that it costs €200 per day to access. This felt dishonest and really soured our arrival. The room design also lacks practicality. The toilet and shower are completely transparent, offering no privacy whatsoever. Just because you’re traveling with someone doesn’t mean you want zero separation. In our case, the toilet door didn’t even close properly and the shower leaked into the room. Another surprise: the bathroom amenities are single-use miniatures, which feels outdated and not eco-conscious—especially for a hotel positioning itself as modern and premium. Overall, the hotel is beautiful and could offer a fantastic experience, but a few design flaws and lack of transparency around extra costs took away from the stay.

This resort is a great place in any season. It is the second time we stayed there. Higueron is the best area in La Costa del Sol , and this resort is super top in every aspect. The restaurants, the tennis and paddle courts, the pools… everything is excellent!

In all fairness, we were upgraded on arrival for a discounted rate and were offered entry to the spa which was greatly appreciated. However, I had to share that it didn't feel like hotel. The hotel was more a sports centre for the local families and kids who would be in the spa and indoor pools. If you walked around it was full of eery conference rooms, but lacked any entertainment day or night/no coffee bars, and no food to the pool. To use the beach club or some hotel restaurants, you couldnt walk because the hotel is not directly connected so you had to use the shuttle. However, the shuttle ends at 6 40pm so it was taxis to reach areas that belong to the hotel. Kind of felt like a conference centre.

Excellent stay. Friendly staff, especially José on front desk who gave some fab recommendations. Only negative would be that the tea bags/milk in our room weren't replenished at any point during our stay. We requested it at front desk, and called accommodation services at different times, but no one ever came with more tea bags/milk.

Très bel hôtel et ils ont su nous proposer une compensation suite à la fermeture du spa pdt notre séjour Les cours de paddle top avce Antonio Nous reviendrons très vite et envisageons d acheter dans le complexe nous attendons sd être contacté

The hotel is beautiful, in particular the rooftop and Med restaurant level pools are very luxurious. The food was lovely. It is a very sports focused resort. The location is quite a trek from other areas. If you like staying in one place thats fine, or if you have a car its fine, otherwise there is a good shuttle service that goes from the hotel to the beach. I wanted to love this hotel, however did not feel the room size matched a 5 star hotel. Also the service I received was very mixed. The bar/restaurant staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, however others I met on my stay unfortunately were less friendly. It is quite a maze to work out what lifts go where as they are all different, and the "rules" for using different towels at different pools (which isnt eco friendly and also unexpected at a 5 star hotel), were confusing on arrival and unfortunately those explaining this to me were not very patient or understanding. Overall for me there was a negative atmosphere to the hotel which didnt match the beautiful surroundings.

Awful service from reception and kids werent allowed to do anything. Horrible service when asking for tips

I like everything about the hotel. I was very lucky to find a parking spot in front of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. Large hotel but in March it didn’t seem crowded. Will go back.

Loved the ambience, the views, atmosphere and facilities

This is an amazing hotel. Magnificent bright cheerful room with great sea facing balcony.

Beautiful place. The only negative observation is the amount of construction in the area

Awfull want refund because food poisoning please Can you credit my account Also all the food ordered was late and not correct missing items Was made to pay deposit on arrival ! Although you advertise no other payments are needed to be paid Only amount for booking I had to use my own phone to calll reception . As it didn’t work in Room and no one could hear me, which meant they had to come up to my room to get out of my bed with literally literally like what I went to bed in which is not great I need a hotel for A week I wondered if you could help me because it was expensive and all the food was terrible and it was all late and it was all wrong and they kept forgetting the drinks and then they got my ice cream wrong. They just literally dumped a bowl of ice cream, when it was supposed to be ice cream with caramel sauce is it Hotel ? The staff are good but the protocol and the way that the hotel is run is not the staff fault but it’s not very customer friendly one of the guys and reception is extremely rude. He had like sort of skinhead and he was on reception. He was so rude also they knew I had to bring my assistance dog and I just felt like they didn’t really take my illness into account for my emotional pet my emotional well-being so I was extremely stressed and upset I specifically asked my breakfast to be sat why and my eggs were hard and they just don’t seem Get the right instructions from the kitchen as they’re only porters so it’s not their fault the chef bad awf

Wonderful hotel: stylish and beautiful, clean, superfriendly staff and everything worked well although it was off-season (November), due to that also very peaceful. Excellent sport facilities e.g. fully equipped gym.

Superb gym Very good breakfast

I loved the property entirely. The room was amazing, staff.... not too sure about. you don't exactly expect rude, obnoxious staff from a 5* hotel. I travel alot and never had i felt to comment to my partner about the way we were treated. not all staff. some of the members of staff were amazing, however some were just plain rude. did not appreciate. My partner was asking questions to one of the receptionist. the way he got a response, oh my goodness. that honestly put me off, and my partner is the nicest person you will ever speak to. not ok.

As we checked in at 5:30pm after waiting at the front desk because they were not sure the room was clean (check in is at 3pm) we were shocked as we discovered ants all over the living room floor and crumbs on the carpet. So obviously the cleaning of the rooms was not finished. Plus the amenities are already beaten up and look old. No bellman after a certain hour so u have to carry your own luggage’s

Mycket bra hotell och upplevelse. Frukosten kan dock förbättras om de ökar bemanningen. Ibland tog vissa delar av frukosten slut utan att det fylldes på. Tycker även att man kan förvänta sig bättre sängar på ett sånt här fint hotell. De var alldeles för hårda. Där kan man förbättra sig. I övrigt är hotellet fantastiskt.
