I would not recommend staying at this property. In my experience, it does not meet the standard of a 4 star hotel.

We were initially assigned a room with a strong mold/sewage odor and extreme dampness. The walls and ceiling felt soft to the touch, and the air conditioner was leaking enough water to create a puddle on the floor. We requested a room change immediately but were told the hotel was full. After waiting four hours for a maintenance technician, they agreed the room was unacceptable, and we were finally moved. It took speaking with four different staff members and hours of persistence to resolve the issue.

The buffet food was bland, overcooked, and lacked flavor. My sons, who normally eat anything, barely ate during our stay.

The shower temperature constantly fluctuated between freezing cold and scalding hot without warning, creating a potential burn risk, especially for young children.

We also found it strange that the pool and surrounding lounge chairs (Including the beach) were closed off with a physical fence around 7:00–8:00 p.m., even though it stayed light until about 9:30 p.m.

Overall, the condition of the rooms, poor food quality, safety concerns, and restrictive pool hours made this a very disappointing stay. I would not stay here again or recommend it to others.

A lovely hotel a little way from Nerja town... About a 50 min walk (which I like). You can walk all the way along the coast to Neja (very pretty!).

Food was okay for price. Pool nice. Good for a family and couples. Rooms are big.

GREAT football bar found. .. Opposite road up on hill.

The hotel staff were all very friendly and welcoming except for the reception staff who were very abrupt and quite rude. We had contacted the hotel twice prior to our arrival to request a quiet room with a sea view however we did not get a reply and on arrival we were allocated a side sea view room overlooking waste land used as a car park. We were informed that they give priority to guests who book directly with the hotel. Also, we had to return to reception numerous times as our key-card didn’t work despite ensuring that it was kept away from our mobile phones. Our room was quite tired and in need of an upgrade but at least it was clean and the daily housekeeping was excellent. We were AI - the food in the buffet restaurant was quite good with plenty of variety - the waiters were very friendly and attentive. The bar staff were all friendly and efficient too however the all inclusive cocktails were horrible - if you wanted a decent cocktail, they were 10€ each. Evening entertainment was a bit mixed and included singers, karaoke & bingo - so not to everyone’s taste. There are plenty of sun loungers so no need to reserve a bed with a towel (although that still happened around the pool area). The hotel is a 30 mins walk into town or a short bus ride. Would highly recommend visiting the Cueva de Nerja - these caves are absolutely breathtaking and a must see. Overall, we enjoyed our week and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel in a quiet location.

Could be great with some policy changes. Room was totally fine (but paper thin walls), buffet totally fine (though vegetarians are basically stuck with the salad bar every meal), location was nice, pools are beautiful when actually open.

The main issue with this place is that they put hideous brown fencing around the pools whenever they're not open, and they don't open until 10am even in summer (by which time kids will have been up about 3hrs), which means you're sat at breakfast looking out onto what looks like an ugly construction site. They're also a bit lazy and on cool days when they think not many people will want to swim, they only remove a couple of the fences at the pool steps, leaving an eyesore all day! We understood the safety reasons for the fences, but they need to be removed at sunrise every day without fail and left off until sunset, with the lifeguard hours matched accordingly. It really ruins the experience of the hotel and could be fixed so easily.

Evening entertainment is low-budget karaoke, pub quiz, magic show etc. The one and only bar has 25 tables for about 150 rooms so get there early as most people don't fit and had to leave, either heading into Nerja or spending the evenings in the room.

Overall, currently feels like a cheap and cheerful 2 or 3-star hotel, but could so easily be much better! Fix the fencing times, add hot vegetarian options at the buffet, and create an alternative evening bar / cafe area. Not sure if we'll ever go back.

The rooms were clean and spacious, making for a comfortable stay. It would have been even better if tea, coffee, and bottled water were provided in the kitchenette area. The only toiletry supplied was shower gel, so bring your own essentials if needed. The hairdryer was quite basic, so if you prefer a more powerful one, it’s worth taking your own.

The décor is a little dated and could use a refresh, but overall the facilities were fine. The location is excellent — it’s a great balance between having a beachfront hotel and being within easy reach of the town. There’s also convenient access to buses into Nerja, which was really handy.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and upgrades were available at an additional cost.

Front desk staff were nice as well as informative.
We went to our room after a friendly check in. Arrived to our room with an odour that was of strong Clorox covering up layers of mold and mildew. Cleanliness of the room was toxic. Wiped the floor and the napkin was orange.The headboard was sticky and had red stains, ugh. Immediately went to pool bar where the beer was good but the snacks were inedible. We searched for nearby properties knowing we would forfeit the full amount of our stay. Had a wonderful experience at the Riu Monica!
PS. Hotel is on outside fringe of Nerja and not a short walk to anything.

Here’s the revised version of your review, incorporating that detail and sharpening the tone for a more disappointed, impactful effect:

⸻

We had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel from start to finish. After a long trip, we waited over three hours just to get a room, only to discover that it didn’t match the view we had paid for. We were moved three different times, yet none of the rooms came close to what was advertised or justified the price we paid.

The rooms are outdated and poorly maintained — the furniture is worn, the carpets are stained, and the hallways look more like a hospital corridor than a resort. Nothing about the accommodations reflects the photos or descriptions online.

The beach is another major letdown. It’s not sandy as shown, but mostly dirt and rocks, making it uncomfortable and uninviting. The buffet, while available, is poorly organized, with little clarity on what’s included, and staff were unhelpful and dismissive when we raised concerns.

To make matters worse, the property is about 1.5 miles from the city and far from everything. Without a car, getting anywhere convenient is difficult and time-consuming.

Overall, this property fell far short of expectations and was an utter disappointment. Save yourself the frustration — do not book here in Nerja. What a complete waste.

We booked a studio with balcony, having seen the pictures on Expedia but the room we got was nothing like it! No balcony, no view. Placed in corner room right next to ping pong table and bar. Towels replaced once during 6 day stay. Bed covers thrown over bed, not changed or made up. Floor wasn't brushed once. We asked to change room on arrival (Mon) but were told not possible until Wed. Told Tues evening not possible until Thursday, that reception would ring me. Rang me Thursday early afternoon to say no room as I should have gone to reception after breakfast (they had told me they would ring!) Receptionist said room may be available next day but not guaranteed. We were unable to unpack suitcases as had been told 3 times we would be moved to another room. I did not get the holiday I booked and paid for as advertised. I chose studio with balcony and view but the room we were given did not have a kitchen, balcony or view. The fridge was facing bed. On arrival it didnt even contain bottles of water! It cracked and banged throughout the night. Ping pong balls constantly hit our patio doors and we were right beside outside seating bar area, were other guests sat and smoked. The hotel is nothing like its advertised. All inclusive is restrictive. Not all cocktails, snacks or icecream included. Snacks can be ordered and paid for! I strongly feel this hotel is falsely advertised. We were not the only people who asked fir change of rooms. Pool area cordoned off for reasealing! V. Poor

Large apart-hotel by the beach, 15 minutes scenic walk on the promenade to Nerja. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with a balcony and beautiful views. The decor was slightly outdated but the apartment was particularly spacious, very comfortable and with a big bathroom. It was spotless and thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis by friendly staff. We stayed Half-Board. The main downside for us was the food which was of poor quality although there was plenty of it. It didn't help that the restaurant was lit up with neon-lights and felt like a refectory. There was a grilled fish option every night and we managed OK with that and the overcooked stewed vegetables or salads and delicious melon slices. We avoided the cheese, ham and charcuterie which were of the plasticky, reconstituted type. In short, this is good value hotel to use as a convenient base but the food is definitely not 4 star.

Good and bad

We had a three night stay as a group of friends - two mums and daughters. Initially booked a one bed apartment, however the sofa bed had not been made up on arrival, there was no bedding/towels etc. and the bathroom was off the main bedroom so was not practical at all for a group to share. We ended up changing and paying extra for a two bed apartment which was much better.
The hotel is clean, however in need of some modernisation in the rooms. We also noticed pest control doing a deep clean on several rooms on our floor which was a little off putting… might have been better not to have anyone staying in the rooms in close proximity to those being treated!!
Food choice was good and there was something for everyone.
It’s a good 25 minute walk into Nerja with not much in the immediate vicinity, but really useful to have a main bus stop directly outside the hotel. We did a trip into Malaga, and lots of other routes we could have tried too.
Overall, wouldn’t return. The pest control put me off, and it’s too far out the centre.

Beach is nice but stoney which is fine. The pool area is nice but barely any umbrella for shade and the lifeguard has so many silly rules (no adults standing in the kid pool? How do you want me to be near my kid then?) The grass area is solid but you can’t keep an eye if you have little kids. Rooms were gross!! Very basic. Back door didn’t lock. Room keys stop working every single day. The smell of urine in the bathrooms is constant. House keeping is very basic. They’ll make the bed and give you a few towels. Won’t touch anything else. Kids club is not a real kids club. They won’t watch your kids so it’s more of a playground. Staff were friendly for the most part. Location is convenient to the center of town. Getting taxis was easy enough. The buffet was hit or miss. Can be very greasy at times and by the end of 7 days I was so sick of it. Bar tenders were hot or miss. Some could barely make a cocktail (the worst margarita I’ve ever tasted lol) others were very friendly and talented. Walls were paper thin. The family next door would yell at each other at night. All in all we really enjoyed spending time with family and the kids enjoyed the pool but we won’t be coming back anytime soon.

Very pleasant stay over Easter

I stayed here over Easter with my family. Overall, we all had a wonderful holiday, but it didn't get off to the best start. At 2am on our first night, we realised we'd been placed on the side of the hotel where there is a dog that barks constantly. My family got little sleep that night, maybe a couple of hours at 6am when it finally stopped. Now, I had already read reviews from others about this barking dog issue, and so 3 weeks before my arrival, I e-mailed the hotel reception, to request a quiet room, away from the barking dog, but this was disregard it seems. Anyway, the hotel moved us and we were very happy with our new room. Totally avoidable though.
Rooms are bit dated, but this did not bother me in the least, it was clean and comfortable and the cleaners came in each day. There was lots of wardrobe space. We asked reception to borrow an adapter, as there was only one socket in one of the bedrooms, our teens were happy with this as they could then charge their phones at the same time. Very slow WiFi, drops in and out constantly.
Food imp was very good, something for everyone and very tasty. There was always some fresh fish and meat being cooked by the chef at dinner time. The restaurant staff are very friendly and attentive, and will help you get a table during busy times and they will bring your drinks order over to you.
The pool area and beach club are very well maintained, clean, with lots of sunbeds. Leo does a great job of animation.
Would highly recommend!

Good value however it may have been a 4 star resort at one time but it is not anymore. The property could use a refresh but first, the chefs need to reduce the amount of salt in all their food to a level that allows the taster to, at least, identify the food being eaten. Also, the in-room WiFi is all but unusable. That said, we enjoyed watching videos in the bar close to where the booze is.

Great value for money. Rooms very basic and in need of a bit of an update but lots of space. Given the price would come again.

We had a fantastic stay at Marinas de Nerja. We were there for 9 days, and it was beautiful and enjoyable. The value was incredible. We requested a room with a sea view and were very happy to receive that. We were able to see the pool and sea from our room, and a beautiful palm tree right in front of our room. We enjoyed the pool and beach area very much. It was never crowded and we were always able to find chairs where we wanted (sun or shade). I loved how the beach chairs were actually on the grass in front of the beach and not allowed on the beach, so you wouldn't get sandy. Parking was free and there was plenty of it. We also wanted into Nerja one night which was a nice walk. Breakfast was amazing - it was included in our stay and we really enjoyed it. I just wish it opened a little earlier.

The only room for improvement I could see was the gym - it was a bit tired and not very usable. The machines were old and rusty, and the pulley machine didn't work. The free weights only went up to 5 kg. We ended up doing video workouts in our room. That was a bit disappointing as we like to work out daily.

The pool was not heated and so it was a bit chilly for us, but we went in anyway. We were there end of April/beginning of May. I suspect it is much warmer in the summer.

The pool bar was very nice. They made very good drinks and had free coffee. Plenty of water and ice cream as well.

We absolutely loved our stay and were sad to leave. We can't wait to go back!

Property and rooms were clean and comfortable. Pool, grounds, and location were great. The food was not good. Would not recommend an all inclusive food option - it was all lackluster buffet food.

Canada reunion

We had a great stay, we can't single out anyone of the staff as they were very good and helpful from reception to departure. There were 3 couples all friends who have not meet since 1967 so a reunion and we couldnt have chosen a better place to meet up.

Making a visit to Frigiliana, this hotel was a perfect place to stay. Just ten minutes drive up the hill to Frigiliana and right on the beach. The rooms were large with kitchenette, living room, huge balcony with beautiful pool and ocean views and breakfast and dinner were included!

Recommended only if you book at the last minute.

Rooms are great - specially the sea-view rooms. However, as previous reviewers have pointed out there are no tea and coffee sachets in the room - just a kettle and a few cups. The breakfast and dinner are average at best - we have stayed in many similar resorts in Spain and the food here was lacking the usual high standards both in terms of range of choice and quality. The staff in the restaurant was very hard working and polite however the reception staff needs a bit more training in my opinion. Our room locker was not working and after we requested them to fix it, no one turned up despite promises being made. A note for management - reception is the face of a hotel. If they are not good enough and refuses to go that extra mile for customer satisfaction, you’ll keep losing business as time goes by.

Winter sun break

Our second visit to this hotel, doesnt disappoint. Accommodation and hotel is spotlessly clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a mixed group of nationalities amongst the guests which makes for interesting conversation.
Buffet meals are excellent, a great choice for us as pescetarians, but also for vegitarians too. Its a nice walk onto Nerja along the beach which gets your legs moving. Would highly recommend and will be back again, thanks for a great holiday

A nice and welcoming hotel. Friendly staff, nice comfortable beds.
Morning breakfast was excellent. There were 2 cons though- a terrible smell and a central air conditioning that can't be modified inside the rooms....

The large pool was excellent and we had a very roomy apartment with kitchen, living area and big bedroom. There were plenty of Sun loungers outside and the sea was very close. We couldn’t get the tv or hairdryer to work. We could hear our neighbour snoring through the rather thin wall. It could be noisy in the evening with many guests sitting outside having drinks.

Excellent area, lovely staff, very clean, rooms very well equipped, food excellent for a half board experience. Only issues were noise from other guests in early hours as our room was near outside bar and noise during day from children pool. Restaurant food was lovely but because of size of restaurant can feel like a very busy cafe, noisy and stark lighting. Overall, nice experience but wouldn’t go again because of issues stated, great family place.
