Higueron Malaga, Curio Collection by Hilton

Just come back from a stay with my husband. If you are looking for a quieter break, definitely come and visit. Amazing food and lovely pools! The beach club is a must and an amazing place to spend the day! Some things are misleading. It is not an adult-only hotel! We did talk to other guests who again thought it was when booking! The adult-only pool, you do have to pay more to use as well. Keep this in mind when booking. The spa is also not included in your stay. No evening entertainment as well, which is a shame.

My husband & I have just arrived home after a week in Hotel Higueron. It’s a beautiful hotel, the staff are all very helpful & the breakfast was fab, best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had. Lots of choice of cooked breakfast options, freshly made omelette, pastries, fruit, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, pancakes etc and very tasty fresh fruit juices. The rooftop pool is fab and the Balinese beds very comfy. Although you have to pay for these (€50 per bed Monday - Thursday & €100 Friday - Sunday) the payment is credited to use against food & drink for the day though so not as bad as it first appears. This pool opens at 11:30 each day and closes at 8pm. Kitchen closes up there at 5pm. We chose this option as there are only 3 parasols at the Med pool, which is nowhere near enough. They are all down at the far end of the pool and a family ‘reserved’ these early every morning. Pool doesn’t open until 10:30am but they were there at breakfast. This hotel really isn’t the type for sunbed wars, so come on Hilton, provide more shade! The other downside is its location, quiet residential area on a very steep hill. We walked up to the restaurants at the top road on a couple of occasions however in the heat it’s very hard work even in the evening & hurts calf muscles walking back down again. Taxis are quite expensive so hire a car if you can. Not sure if I’d stay again due to the shade issue and having to pay for the infinity rooftop pool. The pool is free to use by anyone, only the beds need to be paid for which I don’t agree with. If you’re paying it shouldn’t be used by everyone. If you’re travelling with friends the bathroom is open plan - no privacy whatsoever!

Fabulous hotel, the ambience, the staff the food , the service ,all amazing. I travelled solo, I highly recommend this hotel, there is something for everyone. I will visit again. ☺️

Gold members and travel quite a bit but never have we experienced such drama over pools towels (especially in a high end hotel)! There are 3 pools on different levels and a towel is like a piece of gold... you get asked for your towel card, your room number and your name each time you move to the various pools. And if you take another pools towel to another pool, you have to return it before you can sit down! Feels very dramatic... not sure why you can't just be given a towel, especially as you need to get various lifts to each pool. Drink prices within the hotel bars also vary...a jug of sangaria at the rooftop pool is about €24 whereas the main pool is €18. Apart from that the hotel is lovely. Clean rooms, nice sangaria. Very relaxing and the hotel smells amazing!

Good quality Hilton resort hotel. Check-in was seamless, the restaurant served good food and breakfast. Staff were professional. The layout of the room was a bit strange with the bathtub visible from the bed.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Higueron Hotel in June 2026! Initially, I had booked through Hilton Honours, who indicated that a specific duplex room would be fine for a family of 4. However, when we got into the room, it was definitely only good for 2 people. We went right to the desk to ask if there was an additional room we could change to, and the head of customer service was so wonderful, she absolutely changed our rooms and they were amazing! The food at the restaurants was spectacular, and we thoroughly enjoyed going to the beach and eating at the Beach Club! Every individual we met that worked at the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for a better vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at Higuerón Hotel Malaga while celebrating my birthday. The whole team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, especially the reception staff. A special thank you to Marcos, Paola, and Manuel for their kindness, care, and attention. They surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a beautiful birthday cake, making my celebration truly unforgettable. The breakfast was absolutely luxurious, with an incredible selection of fresh, high-quality food. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is elegant, sophisticated, and truly five-star. We loved spending the day at the rooftop pool, and our dinner at Agora was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. Thank you for making my birthday so special. We will definitely be back!

A very pleasant stay at the Higueron Hotel. Great facilities, hotel accommodation, food and facilities. A few minor issues encountered. Firstly - the need to pay €75 to use a sunbed on the rooftop pool. I was only needing to be there for an hour, the staff show zero understanding and flexibility, which I find really odd given I was also buying food and drinks. Sunbeds by the pool are policed by a lifeguard - who told me twice I couldn't sit by the pool, or enter it, because it was too busy. In reality, there were dozens of free spots, and there were two children in the pool - again, really odd behaviour from staff towards paying guests.

The only reason I am giving this hotel 4* is the restaurants and the amount/quality of the food. This was all great, especially the Mediterranean restaurant and the breakfast selection. The hotel was more remote than I was expecting and surrounded by developments. Not picturesque at all. If you like tennis or Padel this would also be good however as lots of courts. Be prepared for no privacy. The rooms are very intimate. Everything is visible and audible. I shared a double bed with my friend. Luckily I've known her for many years. My side of the bed was right next to an opaque blue shower cubicle. Everytime I turned over in bed, it was in my face. Very close and my sheets were even catching in the door! Very odd. The rooms also had lots of people hairs still around. Yuck. Wouldn't recommend overall.

The website really did not prepare you for what to expect. Staff in breakfast had no finess and quite ubrupt and banged plates and very curt. Saying that other staff in reception and bar were great. Breakfast was good. Although coffee machines were temperamental. As a hotel guest the rules on which swimming pool and charges for beds was not clear and being busy at conference and then wanting a quick swim became a problem as allowed here but not here. Room key did not always work so this was a problem. it got it eventually mended and to that did not work. Beach was down very steep hill so not practical by foot in heat and land tain took ages and be careful to look at timetable as not as frequent as you imagine. Not sure after my experience I would return unless a conference. A shame as really nice design.

Great hotel made with an experience made even better by the awesome team members!

Excellent all round. Can't fault the hotel at all. Location is sometimes expensive to get to outside activities.

Beautiful hotel, but if you are without a car it is a trap. the shuttle bus takes you on a property sell tour on the development, which is huge, instead of taking you directly to the beach..even if you get to the beach, they charge 20 euros for a place...and going back with the shuttle is frustrating as the last one is going back at 5 pm.. and you miss out on the amazing small beaches all along the coast, which we discovered too late. Also, avoid the rooms with the bedroom upstairs. They are too small for the idea and feel awkward. When we finally changed the room to a normal one, it was a bliss..especially the bath with a view..the amazing spa is very expensive..but the 2 swimming pools are quite enough. Breakfast was fantastic, as were the service and cleaning. Overall, it turned out to be a beautiful but expensive holiday, with bolt taxi every day.

It was really nice, good drinks and food. Florentina was really kind :)
