We booked this hotel on alpha rooms a few weeks before going. We were looking for a cheap week in the sun and only paid £235 for the room. I didnt read the reviews on trip advisor before booking (thankfully). After booking I read them and was worried about what we were going to be in for. We booked bed... More

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Playamaro and it was a lovely relaxing few days in a lovey, old fashioned part of Southern Spain. The village itself, Maro, has beautiful, small streets and is quiet with wonderful whitewashed buildings, hardly any tourists and all Spanish and French. The staff didn't speak much English so it was... More

We booked on a self catering basis and expected to have a basic kitchen to prepare food. When we arrived we had a twin room. We were told none of thier rooms were furnished with kitchens. We had a good deal for a weeks accommodation and the room was cleaned to a good standard each day. The room was a... More

we should have paid more attention to the reviews. We stayed here at the end of a wonderful walking holiday. We had rooms in the annexe, which might be fine in the summer, but with no heating, it was a bit taxing. There is, however, a lovely place to eat just down the road - I think it was called... More

Enjoyable but disappointing 2 week stay in large 2 roomed apartment, although kitchenette part locked up, probably due to us being half board. Huge balcony with nice sea view, sun canopy, table 2 chairs and 2 sun loungers, but they were badly torn and needed re covering. Air conditioning was dripping all the time it was on,leaving puddles of water... More

Stayed with wife & 2 kids - Got the a 2 room apartment for 85 eu per night Good points - Nice view from a big balcony. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast fine. Quick drive to Burriana beach in Nerja, Pool shallow and small but that made if perfect for small children Bad points - room a little run down,... More

We stayed at this hotel for a week at the end of August, early September, and we chose Maro to stay away from the busy resort towns. Maro is a lovely small village just a 5-minute drive from Nerja and is worth staying there. The Playamaro Hotel is an average place to stay, with the bets thing being the location... More

My wife and I had 5 nights in the Playamaro and while on the whole enjoyed the experience the hotel lets itself down in several ways. We were in the main building, top floor. 2 rooms plus bathroom. Kitchenette locked away. Very pleased with first impression. But after a long, overpriced and disappointing meal in the restaurant on returning to... More

We stayed here for one week during a three week vacation in Europe. We were looking for a reasonable hotel in Southern Spain, on the Mediterraen, but in a quaint location. We found it all at the Playamaro. The room was very large, not fancy, but very clean and comfortable. Our rate was extremely reasonable and included breakfast and dinner.... More
