Parador de Nerja

This Parador was the highlight of our Andalusian trip. It clearly exceeded our expectations created by reviews and photos of the hotel. The room was spacious with big balcony and amazing seafront view. Pictures on booking don't do justice how nice it actually is. There is plenty of space and lazy chairs for everyone and the garden on the top of the cliff above the beach with amazing view makes you don't want to go downstairs (even with the cool elevator). Breakfast choice is excellent. A lot of restaurants around, quick stroll to the city centre. Parking in the shadow for EUR16 per night.

Everything was great. The beautiful grounds where the swimming pool is located, the lift that takes you down to the beach, the wonderful breakfast, and the special touches that we found in our room. There were cakes when we arrived, and a few days later, there were towels with our names embroidered on them. On another occasion, we found plates of fresh fruit. The view from our balcony was spectacular. We have stayed here twice now and will be doing so again.There was also a jar of honey left for us to take home. The hotel is very well situated for walking to the town and restaurants.

This hotel was a Parador so all standards were very high. Great view of the sea and coastline from my room and the restaurant. Best breakfast ever. Staff were pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. Before thinking that this hotel is overpriced - remember that a B & B in Norfolk would cost more!

To put a negative aspect on this stay would detract unfairly from the plus points. This was a coastal resort purpose built Parador as opposed to the normal ancient castle, monastery type of Parador.

Location was perfect, and grounds were very well kept. Sun beds plentiful, and pool was lovely. The only disappointment was the breakfast which we felt was very sparsely laid out and remained the same every morning. Often empty plates, and when refreshed, emptied almost immediately. We did not find this very tempting. Smoke salmon on only 1 morning, and only 1 bottle of Cava was put out at a time, and often this was empty. I had to request a fresh bottle on three separate mornings, which the waiter went and brought back just 1 bottle, and never opened it which as a guest I did. Breakfast was the only poor part of our stay.

Everything from the location and the lift down to Burriana beach, to the view from the rooms and the closeness to the Balcon. All good!

The selection of the cooked parts of the breakfast was very limited, albeit, the personally cooked omlettes was a positive. Nothing much to go with it though and oh for a sausage and hash brown! The cost of car parking in my view is unreasonable. You go to the Parador for location as you can walk everywhere. Hence the longer you stay the more it costs for your car to sit there. Parking on the quiet street outside costs nothing if you can find a space. I think we paid circa 60 euros for 4 nights which is disappointing.

View from our room was magnificent, could hear the Mediteranean sea from the balcony. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Cleaning was of the very highest standard I have come across. Breakfast was very good but not worth €20 per person.

Smoker in the room next door took from my enjoyment of sitting on the balcony. I had to go in once the smoker started smoking. Most unfortunate, a suggestion maybe for hotels to ask clients if the want a smoking or non smoking balcony and then group non smokers away from the smokers.

We wanted to spend time in and around Nerja as part of a wider trip in Andalusia and the Parador was the obvious choice since we had previously enjoyed Parador Cadiz Room and balcony were spacious and comfortable as was the bathroom The location is excellent with spectacular views from our balcony and lift access to beach Breakfast was very good especially the freshly fried eggs! Dinner was also good with friendly and helpful staff at all times We also enjoyed the interior design aspects of the hotel

The room temperature was too warm for my wife and could not be managed from the room but I think this is down to the air conditioning not being activated during the winter months

location was excellent impeccably clean breakfast varied and a great selection Majority of staff very helpful

16 euros a day parking AC didn’t work and very noisy ( fortunately not hot enough so AC wasn’t a necessity ) had to run hot water for at least three mins before it got hot Hotel beautifully decorated but room “ tired “ DO NOT get caught out like us by the lift to the beach and restaurants as it shuts at 7 - unfortunately I’d just started my main course then - it’s a long steep walk back to the hotel if you don’t get the lift

Breakfast Location Pool, bar and outdoor area

Disappointing meal with friends. Lunch - 1 lamb meal - meat was still frozen in the centre! A second meal had to be rejected as it contained clams,not mentioned in menu,as eater is allergic.Third meal of steak was almost raw and not cooked as requested. So unfortunately 3 out of 4. meals were unacceptable. As a result we did not use the hotel for meals at lunchtime or evening.

Amazing Location, superb breakfast and the grounds are fantastic. Whilst not right in the centre of Nerja the Parador is ideally placed for peace & quiet but everything Nerja has to offer is in walking distance. We also had two complimentary gifts during our stay, a cake platter and a fruit platter which was a really nice touch. OK, so its quite an old hotel and the rooms are a bit rustic - BUT the level of cleanliness was second to none, and the housekeeping service is one of the best Ive ever experienced.

If I'm honest nothing, very good hotel.
