Beach Hotels in Axarquia

From the moment you walk into the hotel, it feels as though you've entered the Alhambra itself. The architecture of this Iberostar is truly stunning: Arabic-inspired, colorful, with high-quality materials. The reception area is nothing short of majestic, with marble tiles, flowing fountains, wooden ceilings, and other details that leave a lasting impression. I booked a side sea view room for my parents, and they were given probably the best possible one: located on the 5th floor at the far end of the hotel. The view was far beyond “partial”: they could admire the sea, lush gardens, outdoor pool, and all the hotel terraces all at once. As for me, I made two separate bookings for a three-night stay. Since the same room wasn’t available for all nights, I was upgraded to a superior apartment, an unexpected and much-appreciated gesture. We opted for half-board, and the food was outstanding in both quality and variety. From fresh seafood to superfoods like chia seeds, the buffet offered something for every taste. This hotel truly stands out among the 4* properties we've been to across Europe and the world. The outdoor pool is impressively large, with plenty of sunbeds available. The entire property was immaculately clean, and the green spaces were greatly maintained. Parking was hassle-free, with numerous free spots available both in front and along the sides of the hotel. Another plus: water fountains are placed throughout the hotel, allowing guests to enjoy cold water at any time. Just across the street, you'll find a variety of shops, making it easy to pick up anything you need. Lastly, a mention to the entire hotel staff - from reception to restaurant service - who were consistently professional and kind.

We were a group of 11. The rooms and reception area were spotlessly clean. The garden is beautiful and a lovely spot to sit and relax with a book. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and let us store our luggage in one of the rooms at the end of our stay.  The location is excellent- a short walk to bars, cafes, restaurants and the beach.  If we return to Nerja we will book again.

Near to the bus station and take around 10minutes to the beach and around5 minutes to supermarket

It was a clean and a nice hotel to stay, only the downside is the breakfast, not varouis and they should offer better options like the croissant was not freash and not tasty.

Overall, the property's standard is higher than I expected😊. The studio is bright and clean, and the centre and beaches are easily accessible.

El hotel está en un sitio muy bueno, cerca de la playa y del centro y con muchos bares y restaurantes alrededor. El personal muy atento y las habitaciones muy amplias y confortables.

Lovely small and friendly hotel in a fantastic location, across the road from the beach and close to great restaurants and nearby shopping.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room is small, but comfortable, the room was also cleaned every other day. The location is perfect, the restaurant downstairs had the best steak I’ve had in a while. It’s also close to balcon de Europa. I’d definitely stay again if I ever visit Nerja again.

I liked the hotel room, I like spacious rooms. There is a kitchen. The child does not always want to eat at a cafe for dinner. I was very happy to lie in the bath with foam. My son ran around the hotel to the beach, met other children. Thank you!

I am so happy and pleased that we stayed here; I’m really glad we chose this place. Here are my detailed thoughts after our stay: The price was incredibly low compared to nearby hotels and aparthotels, and it offered much more value. After checking in online, your room number and door code are automatically sent to you—it’s fast, practical, and very convenient. The room was amazingly nice, clean, and spacious. The one we stayed in also had a large balcony, which is great for relaxing in the evening if you like. It’s about a 7–8 minute taxi ride to the center. Uber costs around €17 on average, which is pretty much the only downside as commuting back and forth gets a bit pricey. I would strongly recommend renting a car instead, as you can get very good cars for just €10 a day. The nearest beach is Playa de Maro, and we went there every day during our 5-day stay. It’s a maximum 8–9 minute walk and is a beautiful, clean cove. You can rent a sunbed and umbrella together for €6. The beach itself is free, so you can just sit on the sand if you prefer. There’s a café where you can get food and drinks, or you can buy your own supplies from a market. There is a small pool on the top floor of the hotel with views of the surroundings and the sea. We never used it since the sea was more enjoyable for us. If you head into the center of Nerja, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and pubs to enjoy your time. There are 2 or 3 nice restaurants around the hotel. Restaurant Maro (full name: Hogar Y Centro Social Maro) and a casual seafood spot in the side street called Bar El Rincón de la Tapa, where you can eat incredibly delicious, fresh, and cheap fish. The side streets and the surrounding area are lovely. We walked around and found some great spots for photos. The most famous beach in the center of Nerja, Playa Burriana, is about 7–8 minutes away by Uber.
