    The bed was a little too soft for my own personal taste, but this would not be the same for others. I have no other complaints. Lovely overall! Would recommend if you want a relaxing beach holiday.

    The room was very nice and clean. The location is beautiful with the hotel right on the beach, although a little far out for older people to walk comfortably to the town centre. A lovely hotel and very good value.

    Sorry to say the choice for breakfast was not great, the fried eggs were overcooked on the bottom and not cooked enough on the top. For us the cereal was not great, but we managed with the fresh fruit options and the toasted breads. The tea making machine was not great either.

    Room was very clean, beds were comfortable. Nice sea view on the small balcony. Unable to dry anything on the balcony as it didn't get much sun, but you could sit out and watch the sea. Location was very good, and the beach bar/restaurant was very good, the staff were really nice in all areas of the hotel, friendly and helpful always, much appreciated.

    Parking very expensive. No iron available in hotel.

    Spacious, clean, beautiful recently-renovated rooms were fantastic, good library of books and being able to use both pools was great as we could access the more tranquil rooftop pool across the road. Staff were very accommodating and friendly.

    Blue summer at Nerja

    • Family with young children

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The coffee machine in the breakfast area needs both a better milk and coffee, as it was undrinkable. The room and the hotel were very clean but the sheets smelled humid, need to be better dried.

    Perla Marina hotel is placed at an excellent location, far enough from the crowds at the Balcon de Europa, but right on the beach. I loved the Pearl inspiration for the architecture, the vintage interior design of the hotel. The bar and terrace are very convenient, staff was very kind. We got an upgrade and would certainly repeat here.

    Beautiful Oceanfront hotel, dining options need Improvement
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    I encountered some issues with the dining options that significantly impacted my experience. The hotel boasts a breakfast area ( at the bar section ) with a stunning ocean view, which I was excited to enjoy. However, it only opens at 10 AM. For a 4 star hotel, I found this timing quite disappointing, especially since it doesn't serve dinner either. If you're an early riser or have plans that require an early start, you're left with no choice but to head to the affiliated hotel across the street. Unfortunately, this alternative feels more like a ballroom for groups rather than a proper breakfast setting, detracting from the overall experience. Given the hotel's 4-star status, I expected more flexible dining options and better coordination to ensure guests have convenient access to meals without compromising on ambiance or quality.

    The receptionist staff were professional and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist with any inquiries truly enhanced our experience. The hotel itself was impeccably clean, reflecting a high standard of maintenance and care. Its location is fantastic for those looking to relax, as it is situated right in front of the ocean, offering views and a peaceful atmosphere. Although the main activities and attractions are a bit of a walk away, this could be a positive or negative depending on your preference for either tranquility or convenience. Additionally, while the hotel's parking was always full ( and very small space ), there is a alternative just around the corner that costs only 1€ per day. This made it easy for us to manage our car during our stay without hassle. Overall, despite some dining inconveniences, the professional staff, cleanliness, and superb location made for a pleasant stay.

    Upgrade has been done but wardrobe space doesn’t accommodate longer clothes. Kettles were very cheap and leaked every time you used them. Bar staff could be grumpy. Pools not open until 1000- this could be earlier ie 0900 as lots of people like the early morning sun .

    Good location and very clean. Breakfast good. Reception staff very helpful.

    Breakfast was poor. Juice and coffee were from machines which were undrinkable, buffet was adequate however we avoided it 50% of our time there. It felt the produce was budget brands and therefore difficult for staff to make it taste good. Whilst our room was spotless it was tired and in need of renovation. Corridors to rooms were badly lit and in poor repair. Drinks in the bar were expensive, staff were largely uninterested and it lacked atmosphere. Coffee unavailable after 11 15 pm as they turn the coffee machine off early. We love to have a few drinks in our hotel before bed while on holiday but didn't bother inspite of it's wonderful location.

    The location was excellent and the sea views were great

    I think parking is too expensive at 15 euro per day but you can park on the street for free.

    No tea or coffee sachets. They charge 15 euros per day for parking. However, the parking space is so cramped and steep, it's a challenge to park.

    Amazing location, can't get better. 2 minutes walk from local grocery stores, 10 minutes walk to Balcon de Europ. Lots of eateries nearby. Most of all, there's an amazing beach just 1 minute away.
