“Unexpected Oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My accommodations fell through and I was in a bind when I arrived in Nerja just after sunset. My guidebook recommended a few hostels but all were closed in January. Although Rick Steves didn't give the Hotel Plaza Cavana a glowing recommendation, I do. The front desk people were excellent. They gave me an unbeatable price, and, ironically, an additional 5% off with the Rick Steves book. For $25/night for 3 nights I was given a second floor corner room overlooking the square.
The hotel itself has some great features: central location, a good bar, wifi in the lobby, free breakfast, an indoor pool and gym that never seemed to be in use, a rooftop pool that was a little chilly in January but would be heaven in the summer heat, and a hilarious car elevator for the underground parking.
If you are with young kids, be cautious in the showers at this hotel - the taps get very hot. Make sure you have a good map because Nerja is a little confusing to drive in. Skip the over commercialized Nerja caves, but go to Ayo's on Burriana Beach and enjoy the paella!

“A lovely inexpensive hotel in the centre of town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

The Hotel Plaza Cavana is right in the heart of Nerja, - a stone's throw from the Balcon de Eurpoa. It is super value for money. The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. The Breakfast Buffet consisted of fruit, yoghurt, meats cheeses,juices, eggs, breads, croissants, cereals and preserves. Bed and Breakfast for two was €67 per night. there is a lovely indoor pool and gym. Also, a very relaxing bar. This is certainly great value for money.

Room Tip: We asked for a quiet room, not overlooking the street.

“Close to Everything”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We stayed here for 1 week .As other reviews say its locatation is its main asset .Its a small hotel but its kept very clean .Best go for "superior " rooms as they are located at the front as the internal rooms are quite dark. Room only best option breakfast not worth talking about.Lots of places where you can get a good breakfast within a few metres.

“Sunny Side Up”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Enjoyed a 4 night stay with my Sister - Room overlooked the square which meant we got a lovely feel of the Spanish Town. Breakfast was a delight served from early morning - plenty of choice - fruits, cold meats, salads, breads, juices, coffee tea etc. Centrally localted in this beautiful Town a short walk to all amenities - excellent Restaurants, Shopping and Scenery. Note - please enjoy the Sangria is a deight at the Hotel Bar.

“beware of the hidden extras”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We're just back from a short stay at the Plaza Cavana. Overall the hotel was fine, great location; it right in the centre of the town so it's not for those looking for somewhere quiet.
However, the hotel charges extra for the parking; EUR10 per night, and the entrance to the car park is via a lift. It's a very tight turn in from a narrow lane, anything bigger than a fiesta will have difficult getting parking.
I also thought that charging EUR2 per day to get the key to the room's safe was a bit mean. You expect to have a safe in any modern hotel room.
We had booked a superior double/twin and ended up with twin beds, not the most comfortable.
Will go back to Nerja, just probably not to this hotel.
