Clean seaside large hotel with very average food options

Just a short stay thar we enjoyed and may be back for a longer stay.

The staff was very friendly. We loved the pool area and our room just off the pool was perfect until it was time to go to sleep and we wanted to bathe. Barely a trickle of water dribbled into the tub. It was too late to call anyone.

Room was in tired decorated, staff excelent, restaurant was adequate warm food on cold side unsure why pool closed at 3pm when pool and area still in full sun

Great place food and room excellent very friendly and courteous staff.

Rooms were cleaned everyday, but could do with renovating. Rooms were noisey on left side of the buidling due to generators but had good sunset views.

Quick check in. Nice, large suite with plenty of closet space.

Cleaning lady was excellent everyday room cleaned & towels changed & food was good , nice walk into the lovely Nerja can be difficult if u easy on your legs

Room was clean, right on the beach and the location was perfect for us.

The room was clean although it was a little outdated. The breakfast and dinner buffets were good.

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.

Beach

Lovely hotel, excellent spot right by the beach.Would definately stay again.

Noisy, thin walls, queues for breakfast, spa hotel but you had to pay extra for spa, busy on sunbeds, loud entertainment, emergency lights come on in our room at 7am one morning and at 4.49am on another morning, these lit the whole room up and woke us. staff were not interested in our concerns and when it was suggested on check out the least they could for our inconvenience is include the 8 euro bill for two glasses of wine as an apology they refused and didn't even apologise. Not a 4* hotel as advertised.

Beach was not very nice sand and waves were dangerous, very rough due to waves and winds Was very windy then entire stay However pool area was nice

Poor hotel with no quality at all. We have left after one night loosing 2 nights. If you like anything good don't waste your time and money. It is just too basic in any way.

Great location!

The propery is located right by the beaach with a great pool for adults and kids. It was quiet, and offer some amenities during the day. The daily breakfast was very good, and the new chiringuito bar by the beach is great for a quick lunch or drink.
