We loved this hotel! The staff were great! Friendly and helpful. We had a 'junior suite' for a week with a roof terrace that overlooked the sea and gardens. We could also see the Parador next door - and felt very smug about our choice! Breakfast was great - cooked if you wanted it, or pastries, rolls, cheese, ham, yoghurts,... more

I visited the Hotel Parasio del Mar upon the recommendation of the Tom Tom in my hire car. I had been driving around a little bit lost in Nerja when I decided to call it a day and find somewhere to stay. My girlfriend and I were greeted at the white washed hotel by the friendly owner who showed us... more

The view from this hotel is extraordinary. Truly. It's possible we had the best room, which didn't hurt. In addition, the owner hosted a complimentary paella party for all guests the second night of our stay. That experience alone is enough for 5 stars. He is a great host who loves life and speaks at least 5 languages. As he... more

It was very spacious, with a large bathroom complete with jacuzzi bath. The view outside though is the thing - it is incredible, I... more

Wonderful bathroom with a fantastic Jacussi , comfortable... more

Lovely location, with ocean viewsl Great way to start your day with breakfast over looking the sea. We stayed 6 days. Very helpful staff and friendly. Owners Enrico and Alice, very attentive to our needs. more

Quite honestly, one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. It is a 2-star hotel, and that is reflected in the decor (very Spanish, lots of knick-knacks & ornately framed still life paintings - I'd say ugly, but each to his own...) and the standard of finish (it could do with a lick of paint, there are some ugly exposed... more

Just confirming what everyone else has said. Don't be fooled by the official 2-star sign at the door, this hotel is certainly not 2-star! more
