I usually check Tripadvisor before booking anywhere but this time round it simply slipped my mind. After booking and paying I decided to have a read of some reviews to see what was around this location, having never stayed outside of Nerja center before. Having read some of the negative reviews and seeing some of the pictures posted, we were quite apprehensive about staying here. However, upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised. We stayed in Apartment 9 and it was excellent. Modern, spacious, very clean and well equipped with all the essentials. Can't speak for any of the other apartments as we didn't see them. The owners of the apartment were extremely friendly and provided excellent communication before, during and after our stay. They also provided recommendations for restaurants, attractions and had a list of numbers for taxis and services if we needed them. The pool area and surrounding gardens are very clean & well maintained. The complex is secure with multiple entry and exits which can only be accessed via your key. At reception there is a really nice man, Juan, who was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. There is a small mini market in the complex which is ideal if you need some necessities; albeit overpriced but to be expected when there are no other shops/supermarkets nearby. If you like the beach then you can't beat the location as it's literally a 30 second walk. You can walk to the centre of Nerja in 30 - 40 minutes but when it's hot it's easier to take a taxi/bus. The bus stops right outside the apartments (5 minutes to the hour almost every hour) and only cost €1 per person. About a 5 minute journey then into the center. A taxi costs approx. €7 but can be difficult to get at times; especially mornings. There are two really nice restaurants in close vicinity - Mesonera de Nerja (one of the best restaurants we've eaten in) and Avalon. During busy periods of the year you may need to make reservations as it's unlikely you can just walk in; from what we discovered. Overall we were very satisfied with our apartment and stay here.

“Lovely setting but few things could be better.”

We stayed here for four nights and attended a wedding next door in Marinas Hotel. The location was perfect for wedding. It's a short taxi ride to town €7 or you can stroll up beach 20minutes.

We stayed here for four nights and attended a wedding next door in Marinas Hotel. The location was perfect for wedding. It's a short taxi ride to town €7 or you can stroll up beach 20minutes. The pool and gardens were very well maintained and the place was very secure. On arrival our toaster was broke and there was no kettle just a coffee machine. I went to reception but the young boy kept telling me to call another day. The reception wasn't manned for many hours. The apartments were clean and comfortable And there was a back gate which took you straight onto the beach. The apartment terrace was very nice to sit at and it felt. Dry private. It's very quiet there after 10pm. There is no facilities for eating at the apartments and the little shop didn't open until 10am, the did get fresh bread in each morning but this was bought up quickly. Would return as couple but wouldn't be a place I would take my kids it was too quiet . The pool was just lovely , no sunbeds although you could take up your seats from the terrace. Nerja town was very pretty .

I was dreading coming to these apartments after reading reviews. We arrived, Tel number to call on door. Not a problem. Spanish lady showed us to apartment. She only spoke Spanish. But hey she's Spanish !!!! We managed. Apartment was lovley. Yes a little tired. But was clean. No kettle, but I brought a travel kettle. And it won't kill me to boil a pan of water for a cuppa. 2 rings to cook with but I won't be making a Sunday roast. Plenty of pans and cutlery. Only 2 mugs, but there's only 2 of us so no problem. Brand new large fridge freezer. Massive comfy sofa. Very spacious. Clean bedding too. Bathroom bit shabby. But still it was clean. The grouting was old. That's all. Beautiful pool and grasses area. Our balcony had table and 2 chairs, and a clothes airer. Very peacfull to sit and have a couple of gin and tonics. It took us 15 mins to walk to Riu Monica which is not far from balcon. A very pleasant walk. So for the price it's not bad at all. If you want better we have to pay more.
