Hotel Nerja Club

My fiancé and I booked a week's holiday at Nerja Club back in January with TUI. We had never been to this area of Spain before, so we didn't quite know what to expect. When we arrived, we were relieved to be met with a smaller and friendlier looking hotel than some of them we had dropped others off at! We met a lovely gentleman at reception and we were allowed to check in to our room straightaway. We had a double room on the second floor overlooking the pool, which we were more than happy with. The room itself was a good size, with a spacious bathroom and a standard double bed. The balcony was on the smaller side, but we used it to dry off our clothes after the beach, so this wasn't an issue for us. The only (and they were minor) things for us was no teaspoons in the room for coffee or tea (or sachets), but we had read this on other reviews so brought our own cutlery. You are next to two large supermarkets so if you want anything (you do have a fridge as well), it's literally 2 minutes away. The other thing was that the mattress was a little bit tough for us, but that's more of a personal preference I think being used to a softer mattress at home. The rooms were cleaned and the beds made up daily by the lovely ladies, so thank you for that 😊 Food was good; being half board we had breakfast and dinner included in our package. Each morning you had a cooked breakfast buffet including sausages, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms, hard boiled eggs, savoury churros and hash browns. There were also pastries, yoghurt, cereals and other continental items. We were more than happy with these options. Dinner was just as satisfying with the same buffet layout and various star dishes throughout the week, including hake, chicken and pork skewers, grilled pork, grilled turkey, paella and rabbit. There is a menu on a lectern stand in the foyer where you can see what is on offer every day. As meat eaters with no dietary requirements, we didn't have any issues - as a vegetarian, you may be limited to some of the dishes and sides. Location was perfect. The hotel is 20 minutes up from the beach and about the same distance into the town. We found it nice and quiet and for our excursions to the Rio Chillar and the Nerja Caves on foot, we found this a great base to set off from. I would say that the hotel is at the top of the hill and the beach and the town centre require you to go downhill, so just bear in mind if you aren't the most agile, this might not be the best location if you want to get in to town without any hassle. We didn't use the gym as we found that there wasn't the range of equipment we tend to use. However, for casual gym users, it's a great little room with cardio and some strength machines. The spa itself was a nice little novelty. We got to use it free on one day during our stay. Book your slot at reception in the morning, pay 2€ for a reusable shower cap and you're good to go! There is a jacuzzi and a pool with dynamic fountains, so nice to use after a busy day on our feet! We always felt safe in the hotel and the surrounding areas. We didn't see any of the live entertainment, but it seems geared to a particular demographic and from what we could hear, it did sound light hearted and fun. All in all, a fantastic week away! We would absolutely return to the hotel if we came back to the area. I think this hotel is very good for its official 3 star rating. Thank you to everyone at Nerja Club for making our first time in Andalusia so very special!

We are recently back from a 6 night stay, we genuinely had a really nice time here. Staff are very helpful and friendly with a nice easy going atmosphere about the place. Rooms are fine, lots of return visitors here so staff are happy for people to request rooms. The best are at the back of the hotel, we had a garden room. Very quiet and sun on the patio all day. Breakfast was good, hot and perfectly adequate for a day of walking around. Evening meals again were hot with a good variety. I’ve eaten at lots of 3/4 star HB and this was one of the better ones. We ate out a couple of nights too and there are plenty of places to choose from. Nerja town is a 25 min walk away and the beach is downhill. The walk back can be hard especially if the sun is beating down but it’s not too bad, just take your time. The town is lovely as is the area. We too have booked a return visit next October for longer. Happy to stay here again for our winter break, which is quite unusual for us as we often do the canaries.
