This hotel is superb and I would definitely recommend it as the place to stay in Nerja. We had a spacious 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the pool and the sea. The room was spotlessly cleaned with fresh towels every day. Huge pool. The hotel staff are very helpful. We were half board and had breakfast every day and the evening meal on a couple of occasions, the food is very nice and there is a wide variety to choose from. There are activities during the day and evening to keep any children and even some adults entertained!

Nerja centre itself is only 15/20mins walk via the beach or 5mins (6 euros) by taxi. If you have a hire car, there is a big car park in the centre of town free of charge. There are lots and lots of bars and restaurants to choose from, catering for all tastes, you can't go wrong with any of them. What I particular like about Nerja is that although there is alot to do in the centre it is still very spanish and not over commercialised or spoilt. Nearby Frigliana (15mins drive) is a must visit for a lovely little town with fantastic scenery and restaurants.

Just returned from a week at the Marinas De nerja, overall this is a really good hotel very nice room we booked with Travel Republic and although we only booked a Studio Apartment were given a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor overlooking the pool ,having a fridge etc was very useful for cold drinks and lunches. We were half board and were quite happy with the food never had a bad meal all week.

There are quite alot of people staying with Saga at the hotel but also families with young children didn't see many older children or teenagers but I suppose it could change in the summer holidays. There was'nt much entertainment Bingo and something for the small children. Its only about a 15 to 20 minute walk into Nerja where there is more going on.

We hired a car as it worked out cheaper than taxi transfer from the airport and were able to see a little bit of the area. Visited Frigiliana which is a very pretty village in the mountains and also Lake Vinuela which was a lovely drive. Thought Nerja was a lovely place to wander round not high rise or really crowded

All in all think this is a very nice part of Spain and will definately be returning.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely place for a week at the end of March/early April 2007. Had a room on the second floor, overlooking the tennis courts/mountains/and could just glimpse the ocean. We were pleasantly surprised at both the size and the cleanliness and the furnishings. Really very nice! We went for self-catering, which was a good option, because we didn't want to spend too much time hanging around the hotel and the food (we had dinner there just once) was a bit average. would not recommend all inclusive.

Generally, the place is full of older people and families. The bar and entertainment cater mostly to this crowd. There was bingo every night!! This was nice for us because people were quiet :) There were a lot of Spanish families staying as well, which is a good sign!

The walk down to town is very nice along the beach, or you can take the bus (10 minutes to town).

We definitely recommend going to Malaga by bus as well to see the Picasso Museum and eating at El Pimpi! Bus leaves outside hotel and takes 1.5 hours or so.

Special thanks to the very helpful receptionist David who gave us some great tips on what to do!

Only minus point is that the walls are a bit thin and you will hear some noise from outsiders. Also, it is a 65 euro journey from the Airport.

Stayed at Marinas Aparthotel for 12 days on HB basis.Rooms were good quality with small kitchenette 1 bedroom with sofa bed in living area really only suitabe for young kids.Pool area excellent with ample beds & grass area overlooking the beach which provided a nice breeze The beginning of July was quieter but the demand for beds increased as the days went by with the usual early morning dashes for the cushions. Breakfast was really good but evening meal got a bit boring after a few days.(I like spicy foods) We only discovered that we could opt for lunch as opposed to evening meal at the end of holiday.Location of hotel is quite a distance from the town & takes a good 20/25 mins along the beach.The kids loved the hotel & didn't want to leave it plenty of organised events during the day for all age groups. A great mixture of nationalities which is lovely to see. Nerja town is lovely for evenings & worth forgoing a few meals in the hotel for the good quality restaurants Enjoy
