Out stay in Ona Marinas de Nerja was amazing. We have stayed in many Spanish hotels before, but the food in the hotel was certainly the best we ever had. For breakfast they have everything you can imagine, a variety of hot and cold dishes, lots of fruit, plenty of bread choice, even strawberries and avocado. Dinner was even better - different choices every evening, there was a lot of seafood and even shrimps at 2 of our 3 dinners we had in the hotel. Lots of vegetables to choose from and many many different sweets. The pool bar is also great and the view from the balcony is spectacular. They offer a small, but functional gym. I only wish the guests had complimentary one spa entry. It costs 14€/45 min, so we didn't use it. Everything was perfect, our apartment was huge, it also had the kitchen, but we didn't use it. Only one small recommendation - the salt and pepper could be on the tables. Instead you have to take small packages. But it's just a minor observation.

“A great stay - esp with family”

We stayed in an apart hotel. 2 rooms, a really good size for me and my daughter. Staff really nice. We went the best time as it wasn't too busy, so we got lots of swimming in, and always had a sun lounger. Food was good, but we were on a halal diet - so were limited to vegetarian option , which we … more

We stayed in an apart hotel. 2 rooms, a really good size for me and my daughter. Staff really nice. We went the best time as it wasn't too busy, so we got lots of swimming in, and always had a sun lounger. Food was good, but we were on a halal diet - so were limited to vegetarian option , which we got tired of chips, potatoes and salad after a few days. The selection otherwise was great. We did All- Inclusive, the 3 meals were great, but thw snacks available all day was just drinks and crisp ( one flavour) and ice cream ( 2 flavours). Otherwise, a great stay, and i would recomend to go as a family -

“Quality Christmas break break”

Superb location right on the beach although not as close to Nerja as expected. Lack of information regarding local buses and any nearby bars/restaurants ( this should also be in Travel agents info pack). There is only one lounge which is not big enough if the hotel is busy. The only other seating a… more

Superb location right on the beach although not as close to Nerja as expected. Lack of information regarding local buses and any nearby bars/restaurants ( this should also be in Travel agents info pack). There is only one lounge which is not big enough if the hotel is busy. The only other seating area was in reception which is rather cold and soul-less...nowhere cosy to sit and read or chat. Spacious apartment although the main bedroom was a bit of a squeeze to the other side of the bed! Well serviced by the maids but the layer of dust on bedside lights was a surprise and remained throughout our stay. Would have been nice to have some proper pillows and some cushions for the sofa. Plenty of crockery but no bowls for soup or dessert. The food was plentiful and very varied. Meats and fish were usually cooked well and were warm. However the chefs really need lessons in cooking vegetables...they were undercooked and cold every time - had to use the microwave all the time. As for breakfast...the choice was fabulous but their 'grilled' eggs were like rubber Frisbees and the staff did not seem to like being asked for an egg with a runny yolk.😄. We were there for the Christmas gala dinner (that we weren't informed was at lunchtime). This was absolutely superb...very well organised, beautiful food of excellent fine dining standard and the staff were fantastic - they all deserve a big bonus for their service. The entertainment girl had boundless energy and enthusiasm...she is a 'keeper' and deserves praise. All in all a great holiday in a beautiful place and yes, we would go again.

We stayed here for a couple of nights half board and enjoyed the location. Check in was slow and bureaucratic probably took 25 minutes... with information overload! Parking was easy outside and sat nav spot on ! The room we had was classed as a studio with a mini kitchen which we didn't use, not sure how you would use it in such a small space without any table / chairs to eat at,it felt unnecessary as the board basis we booked meant our meals were catered for. We noticed that they're not providing any cleaning products in the kitchen even though it had lots of pots, and pans and a big sink.... The bathroom was a bit dated with a shower over the bath and some black mould under the rim of the basin. We didn't get our room cleaned after we went out and when we returned housekeeping knocked on the door quite late in the afternoon, so after taking showers we declined....it was rather late! The pool area is spacious lots of loungers available and right on the beach. The path to the left leads straight to the town an easy 20 minutes. The dining room was noisy, chaotic and unmanaged at dinner times. There isn't any adult only area and there were many small children making a mess dropping food and spilling food. It wasn't pleasant and it wasn't managed. The quality of the food was okay but without any where pleasant to sit it was spoiled. No drinks not even water was included with our dinner and it felt mean. So messy and mean the dinners were not enjoyable. Breakfast was okay because we went early @7.30 to try and avoid messy eaters.... impossible! We wouldn't stay again even though we enjoyed the location because of the poor dining management,it really was bad. Staff in the dining room didn't help they just pushed a trolley around clearing tables it looked like a canteen full of highchairs!
