"Lovely clean central based hotel in Nerja. Close to the Balcon De Europe and lots of bars, restaurants, shops and cafes. There's a beach literally across the way. Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Rooftop jacuzzi was a cute feature, there was a vending machine with drinks in it but it wasnt working. Lots of loungers and seating to enjoy the view and sunshine."
