Parador de Nerja

The hotel served canopies and a small drink free of chargecby the pool each day at noon.

The breakfast was cold

Wonderful setting above Burriana beach.

Charming, classical. Location is excellent.

A bit old, some facilities could be renewed.

The location is great. The parador was easy to get to from the main highway and is perched up on the cliff, but the great thing is that it has a private elevator down to beach (which closes at 10pm so plan ahead). We had superior ocean facing rooms and the views did not disappoint. It was so nice sitting on the balcony and having a beer and watching the sunset. The grounds are very well kept and there are numerous lounges and umbrellas on the grass overlooking the beach. Pool was nice and you an see the ocean from the pool which is always good. Rooms were spotless, updated and nice and what you would expect for a 4 star beach resort. Breakfast which was included in our room rate was fantastic - lots of options including breads, pastries, cured meats and cheeses, eggs made to order, tons of fresh fruit. We did not have dinner in the restaurant as there are so many choices nearby. One other reason we chose the parador, parking. The hotel has easy, ample parking lot in front. We would return here for sure.

The one night that we went out to dinner down on the beach we returned to discover that the hotel had locked the gate to the elevator and it was around 10:30pm (still early by Spanish standards). As a result we had a trek up the hill back to the hotel, which is a steep climb. There were no signs posted anywhere near the elevator indicating what time they locked and closed the elevator. I think a simple sign to indicate the elevator operating hours would be very helpful.

Great location with views over Burriana beach. Lift takes you from hotel to beach. Great room on ground level by pool

Beach or pool

Really nice to have choice to go to beach or just sit by pool on the grass. We went parasailing and sat by pool or read book on balcony. Good location.
