A OK hotel and could use a bit of TLC overhaul. It’s a sleepy joe town where most retirees find peace and quiet! We loved it but may not be if you are young and looking for fun or party. It’s got everything you need. But beach is not exciting or something I would like to visit. I have seen a way better places than this.

Loved every minute of my stay from check in to check out. It was like stepping back in time to old style Spanish hospitality. Staff addressed us by name from the moment we arrived and couldn’t do enough to help and make us feel welcome. The owner, Mercedes was always on hand and the staff Miguel and Nando remembered the little things, such as what we drank.
Rooms spotlessly cleaned every day and the sea view was beautiful.

Incredible sea views. Worth a visit.

The evening manager was efficient & checked us in speedily, which is appreciated after a long journey. The room was clean (even under the bed after dropping something). All staff & cleaners were friendly and helpful.

To add another star, returnable chairs for the pool would be good as there's nowhere to sit or lounge by the pool. Obviously these could not be left out on the rooftop in bad weather. The hotel could do with a lick of paint on the outside, the decor is becoming a tad dated and the plumbing is a little noisy, but may just need a power flush. If you have a low sports car be careful of the highish kerb on your exhaust or bumper.

We'd visit again, but next time would ask for a room further from the restaurant as its a great location with unfettered sea views with a balcony and that makes it very special overall.

The staff were kind. The hotel was in a beautiful spot and the balcony was nice. The Hotels.com description said parking was available — this was a bit unclear.. Turns out that the available parking was 3 spots out front (not designated for the hotel). We found a public parking garage about 1/2 mile away (wish that we had known ahead of time ). Also Hotels.com stated that this hotel had laundry facilities (which we were counting on). This hotel DOES NOT have laundry facilities. We needed to walk about 30 minutes to find a laundromat. Lastly, we were unable to get a hot shower, the water was tepid, barely warm

The experience I was looking for!

Service and friendliness of the staff was outstanding. The hotel is right in front of the ocean. If you dream of waking up at dawn time with a beautiful view from your bed of the ocean and a rocky peninsula, you will be in the right place. At dawn time the air behind the peninsula and above the ocean has that redish tone of the Mediterranean that you will surely remember. The place has that look of the 80's. I definitely found here the experience that I was looking for.

Small and friendly hotel in an excellent location

This small hotel (33 bedrooms) is in an excellent location directly facing the sea near one end of the long, level seafront promenade that makes Almuñecar such an attractive resort. From here many good restaurants, tapas bars and shops are within easy walking distance. The old town and historic castle are about 1 kilometre away. A frequent local bus service makes getting around easy (pay the driver €1 a trip).
The hotel takes up the first floor of a large apartment building (“Epsilon 1”), and has a restaurant and bar on the ground floor. About half of the bedrooms have a terrace directly facing the sea. From check-in at reception to check-out at departure, the friendly and welcoming hotel staff made our stay easy and comfortable.
The quality of food in the restaurant was excellent and the two waiters very efficient and helpful. Many locals choose to eat here which is always a good sign. There is quite an extensive a la carte menu as well as a three course menu of the day. This is excellent value (particularly if you opt for the house wine) and is available at both lunch and dinner (unusual in Almuñecar). Some evenings there is live music in the bar, which may not be to everyone’s taste, but it never continued beyond 11pm. Compared with other hotels we have stayed at in Almuñecar, the Arrayanes Playa offers a more friendly welcome, more attentive staff, and very good value for money in an excellent location. We certainly intend to return.

Sea view, right on top of the beach!

We came here for a quick break away to relax and had such an amazing time we are already planning out next trip back (and we have only been back home 1 day). I couldn't fault anything about the hotel other than there were no beds around the pool area but with such a beautiful beach across the road it wasn't a problem. Would recommend to anyone. The staff were fantastic! Can't wait to come back!!

However at this time of year ( late Marrch ) many of the resaurants were closed. Street parking can be a bit of an issue in busy times but the hotel does offer off steet parking for a fee. We would certainly recommend this hotel to our friends

Very noisy and car park a joke!

The hotel was above a loud pub. The staff were not very helpful.The carpark was an expensive £12 a day shed. It was much cheaper and easier to park on the road and pay and display. The pool was next door in a block of flats. It wasn't very excessible or inviting. There were no where to sit around the pool.

Nice ocean view and clean rooms

We picked this hotel as Almunecar seemed interesting (it was, especially walking along the broadway and around town) and this hotel was on the ocean. Driving through town is a little tricky, but the oceanfront location made the hotel easy to find. Turns out there is a side street just after the main road into town that cuts all that off.

Although we arrived later than expected (and were staying during the off season) we were able to find a member of the hotel staff who graciously checked us in. Our room was clean, comfortable and as described. The hotel itself seemed new inside and staff were friendly. Parking seemed a little scarce - if we were to go back we'd check to see if it were available through the hotel.
