Hotel Nerja Club

Just returned from our third visit to this hotel and, once again, we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel has been refurbished with better access to the swimming pool and a general makeover. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are very friendly and helpful. ( Special thanks to Jose and Alba). The food is lovely and the hotel offers excellent value for money. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed here in May during a glorious week of good weather with hardly a cloud in the sky. The rating we have given is overall for this hotel, we found some elements of our stay better than others and tried to be fair in our assessments, so here we go… The room - small, one of the smallest we remember staying in, cupboard space is very limited, we had a 1-week stay, any more and we would have really struggled. The bed was too firm for us, but we requested a mattress topper which helped a little. TV is tiny but we didn’t watch it too much. Balcony nice and we were fortunate enough to get a room overlooking the pool (209). The bathroom was a reasonable size with a full bath and a good shower, with plenty of hot water. The safe was about 1.20 a day I think, so not too bad. Room was kept clean by maids each day, no complaints there. The food - breakfasts were overall very good, we went every morning and there were the usual cereals, fresh (and tinned) fruit, toast, croissants and bacon, sausages, eggs etc. Coffee, juices etc of an okay quality. Not the best quality ingredients used but on par with what we have come to expect in Spain. For dinner we visited on 4 occasions during our stay, 2 out of the 4 were good - nice food but limited choice, soups were a bit hit or miss. The other 2 occasions were not as good, we found some of the food lukewarm, very limited choice and not of particularly good quality. There are plenty of decent restaurants, tapas bars in Nerja centre as an alternative. The staff - a vast majority were all very courteous throughout our stay, including reception, waiters/waitress staff, cleaners etc. Just one bar staff who bucked this trend and never smiled. At Happy Hour (5:30-7 each day) he just became very harassed at the queues forming at the bar. The hotel facilities/pool - Pool area very nice, got the sun all day, swimming pool lovely not too big, salt-water. Sunbeds have seen better days to be honest, interesting just tucked around the side of the hotel are a new set of beds but locked away, must be for later in the season!? The hotel inside is fairly compact, the bar area for watching evening shows was a bit strange, the stage is positioned next to the bar but all the seating is tucked away to the other side so difficult to see what’s going on! There is an indoor pool/jacuzzi you can pre-book (for free) via reception (only open from 3 pm each day for some reason). We tried this once and was okay but didn't fancy it again. There is also a gym which I was going to use but most of the equipment is either old and almost impossible to use or broken - the worst gym ever! Location - a bit of the beaten track, a 20-minute walk to Nerja centre downhill, a bit longer coming back uphill. 2 supermarkets very close by was a bonus. Racket club across the road was nice (happy hour 5-8 daily). Best beach was Burriana - right out of the hotel and then downhill (very steep) 15 minutes. Overall we had a nice stay and made the very best we could of the nice elements of the hotel and we enjoyed our stay. We love Nerja (it was our first visit) and next time would go either B&B or Self Catering nearer to the centre, as there are so many good places to eat out for dinner.

I recently stayed in Nerja Club & Spa during a short break in Spain. The hotel is clean,has nice outdoor area with a pool as well as indoor pool, small gym and jacuzzi. It was a very good value for money. The evening meal was good with variety of dishes. The hotel is situated on the hill just 15 min stroll to a beautiful beach with lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops. There is a large supermarket opposite the front entrance. I really enjoyed a few days in this hotel and will be happy to go back. The crowd of holidaymakers was friendly, mostly couples. The staff was helpful and looked after us well. It was a great value for money place with everything we need on holiday.
