" The hotel although basic is very... "
Submitted By: Mrs S McGuinness
The hotel although basic is very clean & extremely friendly,all the staff are helpful and are more than willing to make your holiday enjoyable.
The rooms are clean and are kept that way daily.
Food is buffet style and all tastes are catered for,with hot & cold meals available for both breakfast & evening.
There is entertainment every evening of a high standard.
Our rep Phillipa was the best we have ever had,nothing was too much trouble,always available to give help & advice,she was cheerful & approachable.
The beach is a 20 minute walk downhill & if you come back through the town you can avoid steep hills whilst passing interesting shops & cafes.
All taxis in Nerja are quite cheap so it is not too expensive to come back from the beach by one.
Overall we were very happy at this hotel, and will definitely be returning.

" Hotel generally very comfortable with... "
Submitted By: Mrs C Holmes
Hotel generally very comfortable with plenty of lounge areas to relax in although some of the evening entertainment was a bit intrusive. The bedrooms were clean and airy but the bathrooms needs updating in my view. The shower in particular was not very safe as the minute it was turned on the water gushed out all over the place having fallen off the stand with the rush of the water. the only drawback regarding the location of the hotel is that it is on a hill and if you don't have transport then it is a very long steep walk back from anywhere in the resort although the taxi serice is very efficient and is the same price wherever you want to go within the area.
The staff we came into contact with were very pleasant and spoke reasonable English.

" DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO... "

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO HERE WITH CHILDREN!!!
The hotel Nerja Club was NOT suitable for children!!! The location of the Hotel Nerja Club was NOT suitable for children and unfortunatley the resort of Nerja was NOT suitable for children. The resort rep was friendly and had the utmost amount of sympathy for us because she herslf admited that the place was not suitable for our requirements and we should never have been sent there but could not help us in any way shape or form because there was nothing in that could be done.
There was a distinct lack of facilities at the Hotal Nerja Club unless I wished to spend a small fortune, there was no fridge and the food was horrendous, dripping in oil to preserve it whilst it languished on a hotplate for hours at a time. I had to hire a car to attempt to occupy us because even the beaches in Nerja are inapropriate for children the nearest beach which I was told was a ten minute walk away was in fact a half an hour walk down a near veritical hill which took nearly an hour to walk back up because a tired four year old child finds rock climbing extremely difficult! There was no sand to be found anywhere at the beach only builders rubble and grit with which to build a castle with and the shoreline was and I am not exaggerating treacherous. I was horrified to witness an accident on the Playa de Torcilla because of the conditions of the beach and then watch as the man in question lay on the floor waiting for 45 minutes for an ambulance to collect him. My entire holiday budget disappeared on eating out and transport!!
I booked a holiday to relax not to create my own peronal hole in the ozone layer, which unfortunately I did create because of the 2 hour 40 minute round trip to a child friendly resort!
Not only was the food disgusting and the place inappropariate but the the rooms were dirty, there was in the corner of my room a large cobweb that was thick with dust. The sheets were not changed for the duration of my stay. The floor was not cleaned for the duration of my stay and I had to request fresh towels as they were not automatically changed to be given towels that had holes in. Also the sky television that hotel boasts of is not in the rooms and is only available at one television in the main lounge area which unfortunatley was not in operation because the sky card was missing. The pool was also unacceptable because there was no shallow end, the shallowest depth being 1.5 metres obviously my four year old son is not above this height so we could not use this facility. The onsite entertainment was also completely unacceptable because the main event didn't start untill 10pm (past my sons bed time you will agree?) thats if you could even call it entertainment because the same one man and his guitar every night who couldnt sing I dont class as entertainment, but then maybe I am being fussy?!
I was so upset to find my family and I in such a situation I called the 24 hour holiday helpline to try to get flights home and end this nightmare to be told one that my flights were non transferable and two that there were no available flights anyway.
What a disaster!

" Just got back from the Nerja Club... "
Submitted By: Mr S Allison
Just got back from the Nerja Club Hotel, and I recommend it. Yes its basic, but it is a 3*, and a holiday is only as good as you make it. If you go expecting to be waited on hand and foot then you may be a little disappointed (if not a little pretentious), but the hotel provides what you need - food and a clean place to sleep. I'm a fussy eater and always found something to eat, just dont expect to find everything that you cook yourselves at home, its spain, it doesnt work like that. As for the location, it is a little out of the way, but that makes for a nice quiet location, its a steady 30 min walk to the main town with the shops and the balcon de europe. If you want the beach it takes 15 mins to walk down the steep hill, and about 20 mins to walk back, by which time you will be glad of the hotels pool, which was pleasantly warm. At the beach there is every type of food catered for for lunch, as well as supermarkets for the afternoon can of san miguel ! The caves of Nerja are well worth a visit, go find the bus station and it will only cost 90 cents each way!
Go wanting to enjoy yourself and you will !!!

Submitted By: Miss C Chappell
I would not recommend this hotel the service was really bad on arriving to the hotel at 5am the receptionist would not show us where our room was just gave us they key and sent us off to find it ourself, the rest of the holiday in nerja club was no better the food was not good and thats after you wait at least an hour for it (and thats when it is quiet) to get a drink at the bar you can be waiting up to half an hour as they dont serve anyone in order and always serve the spainish first! the staff are unfriendy, very unhelpful and can be very rude. There was not enough sun lounges and we went out of peak season. The evenning entertainment was appauling if you are going i suggest you go in to the town or the beach at night. Nerja as a resort was nice but i would not recommend staying in this hotel.

" just come back from the Nerja Club... "
Submitted By: Mrs M
just come back from the Nerja Club Hotel.We were very lucky wih the weather as it was lovey. The hotel was very clean and the rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels and bedding changed twice a week. Yes the balcony was small but lets be honest you only need to sit out there with a drink not dance the flamingo!!, The food was very good with a good variety you have to remember you are in a cheap hotel in Spain. someone complained while we were there that they struggled to find anything to eat at breakfast.There was 3 varieties of tinned fruit cheese ham yogurt honey 3 varieties of cereal fried eggs tomatoes beans sausages or bacon scrambled eggs bread rolls cake toast jams and marmerlade and fresh fruit what exactly did they want!! Yes it is on a hill but a taxi is only 5 euros to anywhere in Nerja come on what do people really expect its Spain not England if you want a cheap holiday with reasonable food in a clean hotel go for it just remember you are in Spain not England There is also entertainment every night not Elton John admittedly, but something. You also have English channels on the television.Go with the intention of having a good time and I'm sure you will.

" This hotel is definately aimed at... "
Submitted By: Mr D Barnett
This hotel is definately aimed at older couples, if you are ages 50-60 go for it. If you are younger and travelling with children then forget it. It is important to know your destination before you book, this holiday was booked in error, due to this hotel not being suitable for youngsters.
We felt like freaks, all the guests were fussing over the children, just being friendly of course, but after a while it became embarassing and we dreaded mealtimes when we were the only people there aged under 50.
This was a friendly hotel, but in a very hilly area and the walk from the beach was very hard work up hill.
Go there if you wish to hire a car, have a look around, there's some good mountainous driving roads inland.
Some people there at the time were prepering to go off skiing, a hour or two along the road.
Food was ok, but the resort was for oldies.

" Keep away from Spain during the month... "
Submitted By: Mr E D Herbert
Keep away from Spain during the month of February and especialy the Hotel Nerja Club.
The hotel is out of town and up-up-up the hill,not good on a wet or windy day with no car.
We were unfortunate with the weather- too cold for pool or seating out of doors. Better in side if you didn't mind the uncomfortable chairs in the conservatory & lounge. Room was poor, not dirty so much as tired & the green paint ??? Sorry to say the beds were uncomfertable and that Pillow was a killer.
Food was acceptable but not brilliant and the guys on the bar were quite happy to serve you-in there own time.
All in all we felt that we needed a holiday when we got back.
Wouldn't go to Nerja again nor the Nerja Club

" My wife and I spent a week at the... "
Submitted By: Mr M Rosier
My wife and I spent a week at the Club Hotel Nerja. Like other commentators, having read some of the posts, I was a little apprehensive about what we would find.
In the end the hotel was fine. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The room was serviced every day. The balcony was small, there was enough room for two chairs, but the views over the sea, and mountains were good.
We were on half-board basis and, again, I was concerned about what we were going to be served. Once again, the reality did not bear out the comments posted by others. There was ample choice: soup, salads, three main courses, and desserts. It was a buffet, not a la carte, but then that is made clear in the brochures.
The hotel is not without its downsides.
Principal amongst them is its location. It is a good 25/30 minute walk to the Balcon de Europe, a mile and a half downhill, but, of course, a mile and a half uphill on the way back!
The nearest beach is about a mile down a very steep hill. I think the holiday operators are being disingenuous when they talk about the beach just being 1.2km away.
Something else that we found tedious was the nightly entertainment. It was definitely not our cup-of-tea. However, there were many that did enjoy it. We preferred to sit in the garden and drink coffee and Spanish brandy instead.
To conclude, the Club Hotel Nerja is a good 2/3 star Spanish hotel. People can't expect to get UK 4 star facilities for these prices. If they want that, they should stay at the Parador instead.

" The hotel Nerja club is adequate but... "
Submitted By: Mrs D Weatherspoon
The hotel Nerja club is adequate but no good if you have children as this is an adult hotel (which we were not told).
The rooms have 2 beds so our son was on a putty up bed (which kept collapsing). We asked our rep to transfer us and we were told we would have to pay an extra £1,500 which was obviously out of the question.
Our rep said she would get our son a proper bed and supply us with lots of information on places to go to keep our son entertained. In the 2 weeks were there the rep never got our son a bed or supply us with any leaflets/information on places to go. Each time we seen her around the hotel (which wasn’t very often) she would avoid us as much as possible.
The food was poor and very basic. Because the food was so poor we ended up having to eat out which we had not budgeted for.
This hotel is situated in a residential area and to get around you need to either walk for at least 45 minutes or taxi to the nearest town or beach. The buses are very unreliable.
Overall this is probably the worst holiday we have ever been on and we will certainly never travel with Thomas cook again.

We only stayed 2 nights as we were on a travelling holiday. Would certainly go back and for longer next time. My husband is a fussy eater but did not struggle to find something to eat. Room was what we expected basic but clean. Staff friendly and helpful with very good English. English channels on the TV. We only paid 68 Euros a night for the both of us half board. A bargain I think.

" The worst hotel I have ever stayed in... "
Submitted By: Mrs S D Reay
The worst hotel I have ever stayed in having taken 3 holidays a year to Spain and Majorca for the last 20 years.
The room was like a prison cell, the stairs were dangerous, the pool was empty, reception staff professional, waiting and bar staff rude and surly, food poor, plates chipped and the rep did not want to know.
I asked at reception to change room but they said it wasn't possible. After day 5 I managed to get hold of the rep and asked for a complaints form - she had run out. All of the Thompson guests were complaining.
The location of this hotel means that unless you are part mountain goat you are virtually a captive. If you are tempted to book a holiday DON'T, DON'T DON'T. If I were given this hotel as a prize I would give it back. It is disgusting, shabby and I would rate it as 1 star on a good day.

Submitted By: louie52
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a long weekend last week. Flight was Easy jet and hotel booked through their website.
We were only there for 4 days but could not fault anything. Staff very friendly, rooms cleaned every day, food hot and the entertainment was better than some we have had to put up with! British TV channels too!
There is a Super sol supermarket just across the road and a couple of British pubs a 10 minute walk away up the hill, past the sports stadium. The only thing I would say is that the hotel is next to a dual carriageway so if you get a choice ask for a room at the back of the hotel.

" The Nerja Club was a compact but... "
Submitted By: Mr D Milkins
The Nerja Club was a compact but friendly hotel. The first room we were given was very small and smelt of damp.
We complained to the rep and were moved to a better bedroom but this room was very noisy being able to listen to the TV in rooms next door to ours.
This room was very clean and was serviced every day to a good standard and the TV had a lot of English channels including sports channels. The food is basic but was well cooked although did lack a bit of Spanish idea but this did suit the mainly British customers.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone with walking problems as it is on the out skirts of Nerja and is a 20 mins steady walk to the centre of Nerja and about 15 mins down hill walk to one of the best beaches in the Costa de Sol, Playa Burriana.
The beach is unspoilt and has a very friendly atmosphere with a few café bars and some excellent restaurants.
Taxis in Nerja are just 5 euros per journey. The Caves of Nerja are worth a visit as is the lovely village of Frigillana.
