Nerja Hotels with Swimming Pools

Having tried other cafes for a good breakfast our search continued, and we decided to go upmarket. The Hotel Balcón de Europa is the quality hotel right in the centre of Nerja. It has the location and style, and prices to suit. The caféteria has a shaded patio area down the side of the hotel bordering the Balcón de Europa itself. It is a lovely spot, very civilized and comfortable, with lovely sea views. The waiter attended within a minute of taking our seats, and we ordered two teas and a latte coffee. We studied the breakfast menu and my Partner and I chose the “Healthy Breakfast” which was natural yoghurt with cereal, red fruit and nuts. Like other breakfasts, we have had here in Nerja the yoghurt was not creamy or thick as we have enjoyed with really inexpensive supermarket fat free yogurt we enjoy at home. My Son had a bacon roll which he really enjoyed. The tea was not as good as we hoped; it was a blend which, we believe, contains a scented tea like Earl Grey (which we both find doesn’t suit us) and it was just not strong enough for our tastes. My Son’s latte was enjoyed. We received excellent and obviously properly trained service from our young waiter. Our second visit here on this holiday was our last morning on the day we flew home. We again breakfasted here (my Partner’s choice). This caféteria is quite posh, civilized and everything is ‘done properly’, it has some the best views here in the town, and it is re-assumingly moderately-expensive. Again the service was impeccable, and this time we ordered Americano coffees, with hot milk, for two, and a cappuccino for my Son. My Partner and I chose toast, and my Son chose a bacon and cheese roll. Everything was as it should be, efficient and pleasant service, and the food and drinks were very good. Civilized service a hallmark here, and it’s always a pleasure to viist.

So, sure, the accommodation is a bit dated and basic. The bathrooms could be bigger but the shower was powerful. However, the one bedroom apartments are spacious especially the Lounge/ Kitchen and for a family of four, like us (kids aged 7 & 10) there was plenty of space even with the sofa bed pulled out. Having eaten in quite a few buffet’s, the food here (as most people have commented) is sensational! Such high quality, healthy, delicious meals. Everyday, there are at least two different types of fresh fish on the menu - I have tried so many, such as John Dory, Sunfish, Tilapia, Hake, Tuna, Cod….. Everyday, they have a roast alternating with all the different meats, chicken, turkey, beef, lamp, pork. There’s always a variety of pizza, pasta, chips. But it’s all the fresh Spanish/ Mediterranean dishes which are so tasty because this hotel prior to the pandemic, only catered for Spanish. This has changed since with English, Irish and German guests. Despite this, there’s an authentic Spanish feel to this resort - I love that, having done all the Tui/ Thomas Cook types of resort with Brits acting like, well, you know what. Now for the entertainment. The kids get tattoos, balloon animals made for them and after the kids disco and games, the shows in the evening are impressive with professional dancers, acrobats, singers etc. There are pool aerobics classes during the day and staff are so engaging, funny, it’s in their blood to entertain and they love it. Jessica, in particular, is a natural entertainer and could be a presenter on a TV programme. She makes sure that the Spanish and English speaking guests are well catered for. This place is a gem. Great location, lovely pools, right on the beach. Sun loungers available, just don’t leave it too long, for the loungers or to book!

If you're really going to Nerha, Unconditionally, the hotel is here! Breakfast is also a must! 1박한게아까웠어요ㅠㅠㅠ I want to come back next time and stay for 2 nights.

Just returned from a week at this hotel and we were not disappointed. It is in an excellent location,a short walk to the Balcon de Europe with its many shops & restaurants and near a lovely beach. The hotel is spotlessly clean with a very adequate breakfast buffet. The reception staff were very helpful and informative. All in all a great stay!

We booked a Superior room bed & breakfast for two weeks in January. This is what we liked … The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Rosa & the cleaning ladies. The place was very clean. The room had air con which you could turn up if you wanted some heat in the evening. The water was always hot in the walk in shower. The bed was huge and comfy. There was a safe in the large wardrobe. The patio had 2 plastic chairs and a table plus 2 sun beds (no cushions). It was very quiet once the bathroom window was closed. There’s bath & hand towels, as well as pool towels, soap dispenser and hair drier. There was a fridge in the room too (Tip: keep the cupboard door open as much as possible so the fridge stays cold. Not sure why it’s kept in a cupboard?) Mercadona supermarket next door, very handy for cold drinks, snacks etc. There’s car parking at the front and back of the hotel if needed. Best of all, it’s no smoking!! Things I can’t say we didn’t like, but were downsides to staying there. The restaurant was closed for the whole of January which we didn’t know. We did find some lovely places to eat though. It’s a long way to walk to the beach and most restaurants, but there is a bus (number 1) that drops you off outside the hotel so you don’t have to walk back. Stops at 9pm. This bus only does a circular and isn’t the Alsa bus. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. We got over that by buying our own cereal and fresh milk from Mercadona and eating it in the breakfast room. The pillows were really hard so we asked for some softer ones. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

Great location, we had a family wedding & stayed here with our family. Our room was very spacious & balcony overlooked the sea. Apartments are just round the corner from the Balcón de Europa. Kids loved the pool, a good size compared to most within this area. Overall experience we loved it! Definitely would return again. Nerja is absolutely stunning, a beautiful place. I'm recommending to all my family & friends.

Very basic place but for the money I really couldn’t complain…. If you stay here your definitely best to have a car to get to the beach, town etc as it’s quiet a distance if your walking … Air conditioning worked great, bed nice and comfortable and the room was also spacious. We chose not to eat in the hotel as the breakfast was basic ham, cheese, bread etc All in all worth it for the price.
