“Great apartments. Car is a MUST”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

This hotel was our last stop on car tour in Andalusia. We wished some peacufull, well equiped apartments close to sea with nice views and easy car access.
The apartments are situated on hill slope, and consist of 7 blocks, each of them having several entrances and 3-4 levels. Each block has own underground parking space with elevator to access directly you floor.Having in consideration amount of steps and hills, it's almost necessity to use elevators when you carying your baggage.
We have been living in block no.7 - most distantly located uphill. To reach car parking, you need to pass through underground parking of block 5 - it basically consists of 2 very sharp and steep turns, which might me a challenge for less experencied driver - as evidence we see a lot of signs of it :)
Our 4person with "partial see view" apatments consisted of 2 bedrooms and living room, 2 bathrooms, well equiped kitchen and covered balcony. We noticed that some balconies didn't have anything "on top", and we really enjoyed it second night, when it was heavy raining, but we could still sit outside. There were also wooden table chairs and 2 cots on the balcony.
As I readed in some comments, there was no any soap or stmh., so we borrowed few small bottles from our previous hotel toiletry package - it was fine.
Basically as I understood, all apartments facing bigger or smaller "sea view", and morning sunrise is a very nice experience...
Apartments are situated almost between Nerja and Torrox Costa and there are few beach bars within short walking distance - some of them there were working in the end of October. Otherwise to reach some other places you need a car.
Apartment complex also have 2 pools, gradually sloping ( one up to 3m ) - one is located more "downhill", while another is uphill.
Positive: very peacefull place; well equiped rooms with great views; enough space for bigger families or friend groups
Negative: no toiletries ( you need to have own ); a bit complicated parking entrance - at least for unexperienced drivers

Room Tip: Check if your apartments have open or closed balcony

Thank you very much for writing a review on your stay at Fuerte Calaceite. One of our main concerns in all Fuerte Hoteles is the environment, and me as the manager of the apartments Fuerte Calaceite, has decided a long time ago not to put any amenities in the apartments and hopefully contribute in generating a bit less waste on our planet. I can understand that it can cause some inconveniences for some of our guests but I truly believe that it is for the benefit of a greater cause.

“Excellent stay in the Fuerte Calaceite Apts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

Myself and my wife spent 5 wonderful days at these apartments. Both the location, and the layout and fixtures and fittings of the apartments were wonderful. We had a truly spectacular view. Nerja was a few minutes up the road and we discovered a wonderful restaurant on the outskirts of down.The swimming pool was also excellent. The only downsides are you do need to have a car and when we were there there was no internet service available.I hope to go back at some stage in the future and that is as good a recommendation as I can give

Thank you very much for your positive review of your stay at Fuerte Calaceite. Your remark on the need of a car is very true and I do recommend all future guests to rent a car if you decide to book at Fuerte Calaceite. It is not only convenient to do the shopping but it also gives you the opportunity to visit many places in the vicinity as would be the towns of Nerja, Frigiliana or Competa or a bit further away (1,5 hours) places like “La Alhambra” in Granada, “La Mezquita” in Cordoba or the lovely seaport of Malaga.

“Lovely apartments close to the sea”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

We have just returned from a five day stay, this was our second visit in less than twelve months. The view from the apartments is just beautiful, the sea is just below and you can see for miles. The apartments are very modern and very clean and tidy. I like to use the underground car park although this is an extra charge because the car stays cool! I don't enjoy climbing into a red hot car, I also think you are so much nearer to the lifts, useful if you are carrying groceries. Our balcony this time was small, we preferred our first stay where the outdoor space was larger but that is just a small gripe. The walk to the beach is easy going down but a hill to climb on the way back which might not suit everyone. We always hire a car, cheaper than a taxi from the airport and so useful for getting around. There are two swimming pools, a large one and high up a smaller quieter one which we prefer. My only criticism is that there are too few sunbeds for the number of guests. Other than that a lovely stay and we will be back.

“Beautiful sea view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 11, 2012

Very modern, comfortable and clean apartment also looks quite new. We had very spacious balcony with excellent sea view, there was a big table with six comfortable chairs. The whole complex is a bit out of Torrox costa so you need a car, to go to restaurant or to Super market. There is underground car park with a lift to apartments, they charged additionally but it is worth to pay. Within the complex is also a big swimming pool. The beach is approximately 200 - 300 m away

“Modern & Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 22, 2012

Very clean,modern apartments,everything you need is there for your stay,staff are very friendly and helpful,we were given the keys to two apartments to see which we liked best,we were allocated a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms ! Just for the two of us ! The view from our very spacious balcony of Nerja was lovely and I took some lovely photo's at sunrise & sunset ! I would advise a hire car as a must,don't bother paying the €4 a night extra for underground parking,it's perfectly safe to park on the apartment service road (as advised by the staff)
