Overall Ratings & Reviews Ona Marinas de Nerja Spa Resort

Great location directly on the sea shoreline.

Lovely hotel, excellent position on the beach, food good, recommended

Property was very clean and tidy. Reception are looked amazing, dining was ok, food was mostly cold as is always with buffet food, not much variety. Bar was like an old peoples home, looks and people wise, entertainment was a quiz and bingo. We went all inclusive but didnt like the amstel beer, didnt taste like normal so bought heniken as wasnt on all inc. deal, soft drinks were flat also. Apartments was ok overall, we had spectacular views staff were polite, limited english but that was ok, always helpful. Mini market on site was a bit expensive but it was there if you wanted anything, overall it was ok, town was a 25 min walk from the hotel. Next time we will stay in town as most of everything happened there from 6pm onwards, Balcon de europa amazing, restaurants amazing. Weather wzs also hot for start of April too.

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 The decor was slightly outdated but the apartment was particularly spacious, very comfortable and with a big bathroom.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.

Property and rooms need updating, for example mini kitchen doors and drawers broken in room. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was good, as was the evening meal which we had twice. Location good for us, as needed car parking and enjoy a walk into the resort.

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.

Overall a great place to stay! Very clean, right on beach with outstanding pools! Nice, very level beach walk to town! Also an hourly bus service to town for one euro.

Very nice resort on the Mediterranean Sea. Lovely views, very helpful staff with good English. Convenient bus ride to Nerja center.

Very friendly staff, out of town so transport needed unless like us we enjoy walking

It’s not a 4 star place it’s run down and needs updating. Beds very uncomfortable but location and beach is nice that’s it.

It was great quick stay the good was delightful. Get there early as they don't fill the servings fro. Half way through allotted time. One reception of sword super helpful but another male on duty in the evening was so rude. Huffing g and puffing that he had to get out of his chair to come speak to guests. Imagine having to actually do your job.

Good food selection, excellent choices of rooms, a little noisy at times (rowdy guests/nationalities) bus stop outside.

Only notes I have concern food. If you are having a themed dinner, include the side dishes. They served Fajitas , but no tortillas. Curry dishes, but no samosas Indian bread or white rice. In general everything was great. Great basic value and beautiful views. Friendly staff.

The food was excellent but queues a bit long for breakfast. Also, although there is a ‘no towel on sun bed’ policy, everyone did it. I think it should be properly monitored.

Great stay, lovely staff & good food

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 lovely people. The hotel had a great all inclusive option. Grounds and rooms were very clean.

Staff was nice. All inclusive beverages very limited. Food was very institutional. AC in room didn’t work well. Property was really showing its age and in need of an upgrade. Photos show much better than reality.

Overall cleanliness was acceptable, pool area was not maintained well... overflowing bins, grounds not cleares daily...some cigarette stumps left, bits of rubbish. Lifeguard was friendly and helpful with the little ones...all staff polite and responsive

Strandlage und Strand schön. Sauber, freundlich. Solides, aber in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel. Wer es ruhig mag, okay. Spartanisch ohne viel Schnick-Schnack, zum Teil veraltete Ausstattung. Stellenweise zu wenig Personal (?). Sich wiederholendes Programm bei Animation, Restaurant und Programm. Mehr Vielfalt wünschenswert. Mit Kindern bedingt empfehlenswert. Vor allem für den doch gehobenen Preis.
