TripAdvisor Reviews for our Hotel & Restaurant
Amazing place and would definitely return. 5*
“We visited for the day to have the Sunday experience and booked a VIP sunbed for 3people. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly and the whole day was exceptional. We spent time sunbathing and using the pool before having Sunday lunch in the restaurant with live music. The food was perfect and the best we had on our holiday, we also went another night for an evening meal. We will definitely be back!”

Holiday of a lifetime Without question the best hotel we have ever stayed at.
“We had a cancelled booking for May, Glen was very accommodating as soon as we could we drove down (a great drive and no airport faff), we arrived Sunday evening for a 7 day stay (which we extended there with no issues to 9 days) immediately the restaurant team (Sipi) organised drinks, we checked in, had something to eat and when we got to our room, a deluxe mini suite we were blown away, it was lovely with a great sea view, clean and everything in its place perfectly, great decor throughout the hotel.
We had arrived in Paradise.
We basically stayed all days around the pool, served brilliantly by the team there, (Chandon/Jose/Dora etc) Cocktails were superb, the few times we had a VIP Bed and champagne it was all special and well presented.
We did have a dialed down Sunday Pool party, Frankie B was excellent. All entertainment was A1 – Eva R (Super), Barri Bongo guys and Johnny Baker
Lunches, a really good menu, lovely Ribs/ Avocado and Prawns, in fact everything was perfect with a nice bottle of wine.
Evening meals, again massive choice, everything was perfect again a nice bottle of wine…..you see where this review is going hic!
Wendy had a hair styling and nails, massage by Kerry and Natalie on site she was very happy, very attentive with Wend’s broken ankle.
The Team at all areas were impeccable with hygiene, plenty of hand sanitizer, all wore a mask at all times, we had to wear one when not sat down which was fair enough, so we sat down most of the time…with a cocktail…see.
Reception is very helpful, to a fault Caroline and Jan etc brilliant.
I genuinely could wax very lyrical here El Oceanos is a wonderful hotel, but a final thanks to John, Glen and the whole team. You all to a person made our holiday perfect and I am sure John will be happy to know I have ordered a few more “nice ” shirts for our next visit…..
Good luck for the next few months, we will see you again as soon as possible.
Andy and Wendy”

Fantastic
“We had an amazing week at this hotel. We stayed in the studio which was great. The food in the restaurant was amazing along with the staff. The pool being heated was great as were the cocktails and champagne can’t fault. Be back soon.”

Welcome back!
“It has been a long lockdown and we have sorely missed our visits to this fantastic restaurant.
We prefer the quiet of a late afternoon lunch and as ever, the service was fantastic, the food exceptional and we love the way the menu is different to the predictable fare in many Costa restaurants.
Once you add in the views- it’s an unforgettable experience that has never let us down
Thanks and welcome back!”

An absolutely delicious meal
“It’s the best meal I’ve had for a long time. There were four of us and we all really enjoyed what we ordered. It was special. Besides the delicious food, the staff were very attentive and friendly, the ambience was perfect. It was a lovely evening and we’ll be back.”

Sunday Best
“Had a fabulous Sunday at El Oceano VIP pool and lunch in restaurant. Quality of the service throughout the day was exceptional. Special mention has to be made to José. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he goes out of his way to ensure your experience is a good one.
Food was of a high standard. Prawn cocktail starter was best I’ve had. Beef exquisite.
We arrived at 11:30am and left at 9pm! That says it all.”

el oceano hotel, mijas costa, spain
El Oceano Restaurant is in Miraflores on the Costa del Sol
One of the nicer parts of the Costa del Sol, Mijas Costa offers cleaner beaches and avoiding the often-maddening crowds of other parts of this coastline. The newly constructed boardwalk, running right along Mijas Costa, gives to the opportunity to explore this wonderful coastline on foot. We are just a 10 minutes walk to the charming little town of La Cala de Mijas.
