This hotel is situated in Nerja, right in front of the beach. Guests will find themselves just a few steps away from the sand and pebble beach. The centre of the town is located just a couple of minutes away while the airport is about 45 minutes away by car from the property. Guests will find themselves within easy access of a wide range of shops, entertainment venues, restaurants and bars. This wonderful hotel greets guests with comfort and convenience, welcoming them into the relaxing surroundings of the interior. The outdoor swimming pool area is perfect to spend a sunny day having a refreshing swim or sunbathing on a sunbed. The rooms are decorated with warm tones and are equipped with the essential amenities so visitors can have a pleasant stay.
I am sitting in reception waiting for our transfer to go home .
We stayed in room 508 for four nights on a half board basis this is a very honest review .
Room Our room was big , we booked a side sea view which we got but also over looked a car park so not the best view so lesson learnt book a pool view . Tons of wardrobe space and a free safe which is unheard of . The room was a little dated but very clean .
Pool area Huge ! Lovely area and very clean . Plenty of sunbeds . The sun beds have seen better days and a little uncomfortable but they did the job .
Restaurant Literally cannot complain about the food it was very nice and tons on choice .
Staff Some were more friendly than others I think some customer service training might be a good idea especially around the bar area .
Location - A little bit far out but accessible, Nerja is so lovely and we would definitely come back
We stayed here in June as a family group in June 2026. This hotel is absolutely not a 4 star hotel. We paid a significant sum of money for our stay and to say this hotel was a disappointment was an understatement.
In no particular order:
The rooms were dated and unclean, and the balcony in our room did not lock. The shower head soaked the entire bathroom, and while replaced, continued to do the same. The beds were like sleeping on concrete.
Broken crockery, cockroaches and insects visible in the restaurant. Breakfast was the only decent meal of the day, the rest of the food was bland, and repeated. The snack bar was disgusting and nothing other than burgers, chips and sausages available.
All inclusive was very limited - one wine choice (per colour) and one beer choice. For the sums being charged, this is unacceptable. There was more available to purchase than was actually included.
Kids club was not suitable for smaller children and unsupervised. Children were allowed to come and go without staff, and there was direct access to the beach. Childrens entertainment was too late in the evening (8pm).
The only saving grace were some of the staff - they were kind to children and helpful when approached.
Rooms are clean and spacious and the beds are comfortable. Lovely pool area. Perhaps we visited during a particularly busy week but what spoilt if for us were the lack of sunbeds and parasols. There are signs saying that sunbeds should not be reserved but nobody enforces this. People put their beach towels down before breakfast meaning that there are no sunbeds left for those of us who abide by the rules. Long queues to get into breakfast and lots of chipped crockery. The animation team work hard to entertain the guests and are generally well received. Loud music is played until 11.30pm each night which could be challenging for families with young children trying to sleep.
Booked this hotel before Christa’s because of beach location and rooms look lovely in photos thought would be 4 star but definitely not more like 3 star rooms are very dated and sunbeds need up graded had to put towel down before breakfast to get sun lounger by pool nerja is lovely town with square very pretty but not a lot to there will def not be returning here same music most nights ABBA and seeet Caroline entertain team were good
Lovely hotel. Reception check-in was very good our rooms were ready at noon. Ground floor room. Lovely and clean. Good wardrobe space. Comfy beds. Cleaned daily.
Hotel food was very good. Breakfast was superb. The evening meals had themed nights always something for everyone. Staff were lovely and very quick at removing empty plates.
Location of the hotel was brilliant. Could walk into nerja in around 20 mins for €7 in a taxi.
We went for a wedding which was beautiful in every way. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a wedding.
Sunbathing was fine always sunbeds round the pool even though a lot of them were reserved early with towels although I don’t think there were many free on the grass near the beach but we didnt actually sunbathe there.
Pool was excellent 2 decent sized pools and one Children’s pool.
Now the negative. Only one. There was only one bar open day and night which was the pool bar. Queue could be quite long at times but did get served quite quickly. Don’t know if the hotel was short of staff but the inside bar was never open.
Would definitely return to this hotel.
