Wonderful

Staff mostly excellent except for two evening staff near the coffee machine who rushed too quickly to clear the tables even before the meal was finished and broke the atmosphere among new friends. Everyone else was excellent.
Everything was great. The buffets fantastic, the gym & pool area great, the room was spacious. Entertainment was fun.
We did the a la carte menu one night. It was fine but actually the buffet is better.
But what really stands out is the staff. Friendly, helpful.... can not say enough about it.
Great stay and would recommend.
Loved the room very spacious we stayed in 27 25th an amazing sea view. Food was lovely staff very attentive and so helpful and polite. We loved our stay so much.
A friendly hotel with very good food, in a nice area. It is in its own little area but very close to the centre. There are some very good cafes, bars and restaurants opposite the hotel as well as a couple of small supermarkets. It is right on the beach with some amazing sunsets and sunrises. Good wifi and tv, indoor and outdoor pool and extensive sitting areas. The food choices were extensive and all high quality with outdoor dining options.
Excellent hotel in a lovely location, handy for the beach or walking into Nerja town.
Very friendly, helpful staff and very good choice and qaulity of food in main evening restaurant and beach bar for snack menu.
We loved the day trips to Mijas, Malaga and Frigliana....Grenada trip next time for us, as on day we arrived and left....

Best in Nerja
Very friendly staff and clean rooms. The house keeping staff were excellent and always say hello when passing in the halls.
However no real service around the pool and you have to get up early to secure a lounger.
Beds on the beach which don’t belong to the hotel are never available.
Excellent hotel in a great location on the beach and only a 10min stroll into town. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel facilities were good and the hotel is spotless. Cannot think of any downsides to this hotel!
Lovely staff who changed my room according to my preferences and gave me one of the best ocean views in the complex. Very relaxing atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent amenities. It made life so much easier to have breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and the quality/variety of food was excellent!
This adults only hotel is lovely. It is right on the beach. I got a free upgrade to a room with a porch looking over the pool and the beach. Although I thought I was getting a buffet breakfast included, a buffet dinner was also included. For the most part the food was good but not great. I found that at supper if I chose main dishes that were in some sort of sauce or gravy they tended to be hot whereas other mains often got cold. I was disappointed that the extensive dessert section was loaded with cream, milk, ice cream… all impossible for me as I’m lactose intolerant. But there was also fruit available. I just wish they would have at least one pastry cake etc every night without a major dairy component. The indoor pool was a real highlight for me as the outdoor pool was way too cold in March. I would definitely stay in this hotel again off season. I’m guessing the entire Costa del sol is way too crowded in summer.
