Nothing unique at all it needs refurbishment as it's very dated. Breakfast was excellent but that did not make up for the poor shower and quality of the room I would not classify it as a 4 star hotel only 3 stars

Excellent Hotel. Well priced. Beautiful wave soun!
The hotel is actually 2 hotels. You have access to the pools in either one. 1 pool is a salt watet infinity pool. The other a fresh water pool. They are not heated (at least up until October, dont know after that). Our hotel had sea view and although this was the hotel a little farther from the water, you could still hear the waves close all night. It had a balcony with table, chairs and a clothes line.The beds and pillows were clean and really comfortable. Bathroom big and nice. The beach is across the street. Did not try their buffet but it didn’t look bad and considering that Nerja is a tourist city, the buffet price was not expensive compared to nearby restaurants. If you want a little cheaper, more regular prices, walk 10-20 minutes away from the hotel area. The restaurants right on the beach were actually not bad priced for the location. Customer service was perfect also. Wifi was fine. I would MOST definitely stay there again!

We really liked the closeness of the beach . Breakfast was pretty basic for a four star hotel. The staff always seemed busy keeping tables cleaned at breakfast. The laminate flooring was a bit cheap looking and some things needed updating . The cleaning staff and waiters and waitresses were always busy and done a good job .

The hotel is definitely not a 4 star hotel. It probably was about 30 years ago but is now dated and tired. The bedrooms are small and the furniture and bedspreads old. A double room consists of 2 single beds pushed together individually made which is not ideal for a married couple! The restaurant is in a different building over the road and again is very tired and dated. The breakfast was the same everyday with the beans and scrambled egg being lukewarm every day. The swimming pool is not monitored so anybody can come in and use it and the locals often did late afternoon. The bar will only give you plastic cups to sit around the pool area or take back to your room. The only redeeming feature of the hotel is the location.

This property is a perfect location in Nerja with a nice beach and pools. The breakfast and dinner half board worked quite well and the food was agreeable. The room was a bit worn on the flooring but were clean as were the bath. The ocean view room was perfect and so was the balcony.

Rather disappointing.
Rather an indifferent stay. Unfortunately, there was a lot of building noise all week from a house next to the hotel (which I think the hotel managed) starting at 8am in the morning until sundown at 7.30pm. This created a lot of dust, too, on the small balcony which was not cleaned away. Reception staff were not friendly - check-out was distinctly dismissive and cold. However, the waiters in the snack bar were friendly. The room was tired and paintwork was poorly maintained. Toilet had been replaced and was almost in the middle of the floor - very odd. Room was on the small side, too. No heating or air-conditioning available. Wifi kept cutting out, too. All in all, quite disappointing.

hotel ratings
Hotel ratings very difficult to understand. Last hotel was 4* but far superior to this one. Location is quiet at the end of beach area. Walking distance to centre town and lots of cafe/bars/restaurants to choose from very close by or in the town centre. Lots of spanish families so a good authentic feel to the area. HOTEL CAR PARK is a nightmare to get into and out of. Its down a very steep narrow winding slope then narrow corridor to the parking spaces - not surprised most people dont use it. If you have a small car (cleo) you might be OK but would not attempt in a larger one. One way too so check no one is coming in before to drive out.

Excellent stay!
It was a lovely trip. I live on the coast but for a night away it was like being on holiday. I enjoyed the swimming pool on the roof as soon as we arrived followed by a relaxing day. The breakfast in the morning was excellent! Will definitely return to this hotel.

Quite old fashioned hotel, but has all amenities except WiFi. It does say it has wifi but it drops out all the time and isn’t secure. Great location on the beach, clean pool and close to the old town for restaurants and shops. Enjoyed our stay.

Disappointing, not what we anticipated. We should have known that this was a cheap tourist destination, but what confused us is that for 2 nights we paid $600+ . According to the hotel, Expedia advertisement missleaded us to buy rooms that we thought were "waterfront", but for all that money we ended up"in the back of the bus" in a room with no water view and smelly (like mothballs), the safe did not work and it was liftable so anyone could have carried it out with my money and passports. Also, there are not enough parking (40 spaces for 190+rooms) The staff was cordious and did their best.

Looks better in pictures. More like a 2.5 - 3 stars. In my opinion stay in Balcon de Europe. More activity in that area. Car parking is an issue there.

Confirm your extras in advance
Certain requests not met ie sea view 3 rooms together and sun on the balcony in the afternoon. When we checked in we were asked for more money for these facilities although we had been in contact with the hotel re kettles in the room and they didnt mention these requests were extra. Reception didnt tell us there was an underpass to reach the hotel they sent us to following the toilet not being attached in the main hotel. Breakfast nice

Better than expected
We were a little worried about this hotel due to other negative reviews. However we had no complaints during our 3 night stay. We paid extra to be upgraded to a sea view room when we arrived and this was well worth it. We were on the 4th floor of the new building and the view from the balcony was fantastic. We didn't pay for breakfast, but there is a small fridge in the room and so it was perfect to sit and have s fresh orange and croissant out there in the morning. The only two things which could have improved our stay would be in room coffee / tea making facilities, plus information from the receptionist on check in about the in room safe. There is a refundable deposit required for the key for this and so it meant going back down to reception again to organise this. There was then a fault with it and so we needed to go back down again to get this looked at. The response was quick and efficient however and an engineer came and sorted immediately. Overall a great stay, the hotel is also in a perfect location for walking to Balcon de Europe and lots of shops and bars.
