We had a wonderful holiday in Nerja at the Hotel Cavana Plaza. The hotel was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. Our room 202 was on the 2nd floor and overlooked the square. Two lifts give easy access to the upper floors. The Juliet balcony was a nice outside space, with room for one chair. The rooftop pool and bar were brilliant, with views to the sea and mountains. There were plenty of sunbeds and tables; it was never busy. The staff were so friendly and very helpful; they went out of their way to help. The beds were changed daily and the room was cleaned to a very high standard. Pool and beach towels are available for a deposit of €5. We were able to use all the facilities after checking out on our departure day. There was a wide choice of food available for breakfast, including cereals, juices, breads, sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, beans, cheeses, cold meats and cakes. After a big breakfast I was set for the day. No need for lunch. The hotel is located in the centre of town, just a few minutes walk to the Balcon de Europa and the tourist streets. The town is packed with delightful restaurants, book your table in advance to avoid disappointment. Visit Cochrans bar close to the Balcon de Europa; it has a great outdoor area overlooking the sea. El Burro Blanco was a great little find; the Flamenco show there was outstanding, remember to pre-book as it’s a tiny venue.

This is a pleasant hotel in a great location just a few hundred yards from the Balcón de Europa in Nerja. The staff are very friendly and provide great service to the guests. It is not easy to find as it is not well signed and is at the bottom of a road that is inaccessible by car. Although we drove I would not recommend it unless you’re going to leave your car in one of the public car parks. The hotel car park is subterranean- you have to drive into a lift that is very small so you won’t get anything but a small car into it. To get to the entrance, I had to drive the wrong way down a one way street (under instructions from one of the hotel staff) and then do a difficult manoeuvre involving going on and off the pavement several times to get the car straight enough to get into the lift. And coming out was similar - not an experience I ever want to repeat! Our room was on the first floor and we did get a lot of noise from the comings and going’s outside in the communal parts of the hotel. The room itself was of a good size with a very comfortable double bed. The furnishings were adequate although not of a particularly high quality - but appropriate for the standard of hotel. There were English channels on the TV, a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom was a good size too with a bath as well as a shower. Two particularly nice features of the hotel were the rooftop pool and terrace/bar, great for enjoying some downtime in the sun and the marvellous sunsets whilst we were there. We did not eat at the hotel because there were so many fantastic bars and restaurants literally on the doorstep. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thought it was great value for money.
