I am sitting in reception waiting for our transfer to go home . We stayed in room 508 for four nights on a half board basis this is a very honest review . Room Our room was big , we booked a side sea view which we got but also over looked a car park so not the best view so lesson learnt book a pool view . Tons of wardrobe space and a free safe which is unheard of . The room was a little dated but very clean . Pool area Huge ! Lovely area and very clean . Plenty of sunbeds . The sun beds have seen better days and a little uncomfortable but they did the job . Restaurant Literally cannot complain about the food it was very nice and tons on choice . Staff Some were more friendly than others I think some customer service training might be a good idea especially around the bar area . Location - A little bit far out but accessible, Nerja is so lovely and we would definitely come back

“Hotel in a great location”

Stayed here at the end of May with my in laws and there kids and had such a good time. Hotel is lovely, well maintained with great sized rooms. Plenty of storage space so you can hide your luggage away and loads of hanging and drawer space. Bathroom has all the shower gel, shampoo and soap needed.… more

Stayed here at the end of May with my in laws and there kids and had such a good time. Hotel is lovely, well maintained with great sized rooms. Plenty of storage space so you can hide your luggage away and loads of hanging and drawer space. Bathroom has all the shower gel, shampoo and soap needed. Towels are provided and the rooms are serviced daily by some lovely staff who are so polite. There is also a safe in the room. We were half board so that included breakfast and lunch or dinner. They had so many hot and cold options which changed daily and all were super fresh and tasty! Staff in the restaurant were lovely also. Nice small bar area too and entertainment for kids etc is on nightly and was quite good. Huge pool area which opens at about 10am with plenty of sunbeds and even with the usual people hoarding them for the day, which the hotel should be stopping in my opinion, we found beds most days near the pool. The pool was great and there is a lifeguard active throughout the day. Hotel is nicely located about 2km from the main town and you can walk down the main roads or along the beach here. A taxi can be organized from the hotel and it cost between 7 and 10 euro.

“Lovely hotel but more attention needed around pool area”

We’re just back from our stay at Ona Marinas hotel. The hotel itself is in a good location, only a few minutes from Nerja in a taxi or bus. It’s a lovely quiet area but close to everything. We had a sea view room and the view didn’t disappoint, it was lovely. Our room definitely didn’t look like the photos on the website, it was smaller and more dated. However it was absolutely spotless. The cleaning staff are amazing. We were half board so breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was great, large selection of everything. The dinner was only ok really, we all managed to find something we wanted but there wasn’t a large variety of options, especially for the kids. Some nights we went into Nerja for dinner just for a change. We had lunch from the snack bar every day and tried everything on the menu, food from there is great. Huge portions and really hot. The chicken wings were a huge hit with the kids. The pool is huge, the kids absolutely loved it. It does get deep very fast though when walking in from the steps in the shallow end. However the pool chairs and surrounding areas really left it down. The chairs were covered in bird poo and grime. They honestly felt a bit icky to lie on. We could cover most of it with the towels but my main issue was the you can only change your pool towels every 3 days! So lying on and drying yourself with towels covered in bird poo really isn’t great for a 4 star hotel. When I approached the lifeguard to request new towels he was unfortunately very rude to me and told me to discuss it with reception. In fairness reception did give me new towels when I went up but it was a bit of an ordeal just trying to have clean towels. The staff for the most part were very friendly though, and we did really enjoy our stay. I’m not sure if I would stay in this particular hotel again though, maybe if they put more effort into the outside areas and it felt cleaner. That was the only thing that really left it down for me, especially when we spend so much time at the pool with the kids.

“Please listen to guests Management”

Stayed here for 9dsys half board.

Stayed here for 9dsys half board. As you approach from outside it looks like a 5star hotel, but it seems thats all that looks to have been upgraded, its a shame as rooms are very very tired,and in serious need of upgrades. Location is great with straight out onto beach area, but personally a little bit away from Nerja, albeit bus straight outside but operates weird timings, and a good 30mins walk to Nerja. Drinks were hotel prices, as is food if you do A.I, yet very little options for kids apart from pizza in the evening or pasta, they do try and accommodate all types of food, and with a good turn around also. As most people have said very little evening entertainment and Management could do with reviewing here, as most guests flee to Nerja. And entertainment with variety if you spend quality money people will stay and use the bar services more wisely. Even a pool table would be an option, pistol shooting,archery, there is loads of unused space which could be utilised. Last night they brought out a 32inch plasma TV for everyone to watch first World cup game, you may want to invest in a 75inch to allow people to see it with updated audio features and place it in a suitable area for all to see. It's a shame as this hotel could be the 4star it strives to be,but a long long way off. I was with my partner,there is an animation team who work their socks off day and night but geared more towards.children which is fine, as previously mentioned needs attention for us mere adults. Staff I found very polite attentive,helpful at all times, so we'll done Managment here. There are small open restaurants heading toward Nerja which have really nice food, and drinks far cheaper then hotel, albeit hotel gives you 10% off voucher on arrival,they could do a little bit better for half board bookings. All in all enjoyed our relaxing time at the hotel, but with a few tweaks regarding what i mentioned, and not just me, most guests repeat what ive said, hopefully Management take on board comments and use the information paying guests provide feedback, then sadly a lot may never return. Finally big thanks to the cleaning crew, excellent work what you do. Thanks
