The hotel is clean and tidy and good value for money. The room we had could do with an update, bath was badly marked and fittings basic, but that was ok with us for the money we paid. Breakfast is adequate . We had fried egg on toast every day for 3 weeks, a grilled tomato would have been nice. There was baked beans and Spanish bacon and sausage on offer but not to our taste, but thats our fault. Staff are friendly. However, the 3 weeks we were there, there were large parties of Spanish Seniors staying and the hotel was mainly based around their stay. The noise from them was totally unacceptable. Banging doors all evening, TV's and talking can be heard through the thin walls. And after their 'entertainment' ended around midnight, they would shout on the corridors and from room to room to their friends and again the door banging kept us awake. When the group were in the foyer/lounge area conversation was impossible with the racket they made. If the hotel wants to cater for Spanish elderly parties, then they should stick with that and not disrupt ordinary holidaymakers like us, although we are British Senior Citizens, we have the courtesy to behave and consider other guests. Maybe they have these senior holidays during November only, I dont know, but we certainly wont be going back., so make sure to check before booking. Three years ago when visiting Nerja and staying in a different hotel, there used to be a nice cafe bar next to the Jimesol and can still be accessed via the hotel, it had a really good ambience and we enjoyed some nice meals there, but now its been turned into Bar Number 6, with live music and wide screen TV, and whilst the English staff are friendly, again, not our cup of tea either. Sadly, lots of broken pavement tiles and dog dirt in Nerja, not the best with managing a wheelchair, and quite a few more empty shops this time, . Some nice parts still and definitely recommended is a bus ride for 1 euro each way to Frigliana, lovely mountain top village. Thankfully the weather was good for most of the 3 week holiday.
