We were looking for a place to relax, close enough to town but not in the touristy centre of Nerja. Almazara hotel fit the bill. Not having hired a car, we had no problems reaching Nerja and its beaches, thanks to regular bus services throughout the day. The room was clean and comfortable, with lovely views and the pool was nice. On the downside: the hotel is located on a main road so not completely quiet due to passing traffic and the staff is really not the friendliest you can find...they failed to apologise for not being able to provide a late check out (as advertised at the time of booking), they never smile and generally seem not to enjoy engaging with clients' requests. The cleaning staff is super smiley though! Food at the restaurant is disappointing compared to what stated in previous reviews. Overall a good hotel and good value for money.
