“Again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Back again on 25th Oct for 5 nights. Location superb. First 2 days rain but didn't spoil our visit - hotel lent us an umbrella. Refurbished room (309 junior suite, 3 floors below reception, 1 floor below the breakfast/restaurant) to a high standard. My wife even asked where they bought the wallpaper from! Bed very large and comfortable, flat screen modern TV (BBC1, 2, ITV, CH5, CH4 etc if you are that desperate), Balcony -great view to sea and the Balcon de Europa. Bathroom good - only negatives - needs anti-slip mat in bath/shower and instructions how to operate the 2 over the bath showers (a rain type one and a power type one). Large hot and cold buffet style varied breakfast, replenished regularly. (Juices, sparkling wine, water - eggs of all kinds, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, etc. - fruits, cold meats, pate, cereals,cheeses etc. Coffee or tea replenished quickly at your table with wonderful views out to see. The French doors not open at this time of the year, but would have been possible on a couple of mornings the weather was so warm. Staff were very pleasant and helpful as usual.

Room Tip: Pay extra for a Junior Suite with balcony facing the sea.

“fine”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

Breakfast better than expected - really nice. Tiny private beach accessed straight from lift is fantastic. Rooms cramped. Location good for the town. Decent terrace with nice view. Staff not friendly.

Room Tip: Nearby caves very worth a visit.

“Lovely setting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I will start of by saying I love Nerja and have visited on countless occasions; we usually stay in a fantastic Apt on Carebeo so if honest the hotel was always up against it.
We had paid for a sea view and when we got to our room we had a sea view but overlooking the canopy of the hotel and the Balcon.We asked to be moved and we did, but slightly dismayed the change was so easy as I got the impression it was a room that nobody really wanted.
Anyway let’s get onto the positives:
Room excellent
Staff excellent
Breakfast excellent
Beach lovely - but for me scandalous how you have to pay for the use of beach beds. Also being able to book your bed with the attendants the night before is also unfair
Pool lovely and great sun trap
Food for lunch fine, little expensive, but with so many eating places close by always up against it
Sitting on the Balcon outside the hotel with a drink people watching is superb
A lovely setting
Great young lad who helped with cases and also general enquires was superb (Can’t think of his name)

Overall great hotel – but would only stay if I couldn’t get our Apartment

“Get a balcony”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Have just returned from the Balcon..wish I'd known beforehand that not all of the rooms have a balcony or a VIEW!! My first room looked out onto a white wall. There was no balcony so I had to lean out of the window and look upwards to see the time of day and the weather!!! Midway through my week I was allocated a 'single' room - define that to mean shoebox. There was a view of the sea and beach if you were less than 2 feet tall or above 6 feet six...in between these high and low windows was an obstruction to the view - a wall! Still no balcony! There was now the added inconvenience of there being nowhere to sit other than the bed, which slid away from the wall as soon as you leaned on the headboard!! Food varied in quality..great buffet..bland main courses...interesting, well presented starters...desserts okay if you enjoy fresh fruit or ice cream. Some delightful staff...some miserable 'do we really have to serve you?' types too. Overall, the hotel is living off its reputation and doesn't really care if you enjoy your stay or not as there are many who do return knowing how to nab the best rooms etc but despite its 'beachfront location' don't expect to see the beach unless you're a visionary and know to ASK beforehand!!!

Room Tip: Ask for a seaview and balcony when you book otherwise..forget it.
