We had a fortnight's stay at this lovely hotel. There was a lovely view over the old village of La Herradura from our balcony, especially at night with the lights twinkling. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout. The food was excellent even though we are not meat eaters. Fabulous buffet selection of fish, meats, salads, vegetables. etc etc. You could eat as much as you wanted. All the Staff friendly and helpful especially Maria who kindly helped beyond the call of duty when we were ill. Good English spoken by nearly all staff.Cleaners excellent and efficient. Our room was large and bright. The bathroom was large with shower, WC and bidet. Soap, shampoo, bath gel provided. Clean towels daily, The beds were comfortable and the furniture, furnishings, etc. as new. Useful little fridge in room (mini-bar).3 minute walk to buses, 2 minutes to beach.1 min to supermarket, shops, bars. No noisier than any other Spanish resort at night except for the dustbins being emptied in the early hours....and the music from the fiesta taking place on 3rd May. Some noise came from the bodega nearby but only until 12.30am. Would definitely return. Thank you, it was a pleasure.

Spent almost a week at this hotel which I could not fault.
The room was clean and comfortable.
We were on half board basis but expected to eat out most nights as previous experiences of half board in Spain was not good but there was an extensive buffet which included plenty of salads and hot food choices as well. As a vegeatarian I always managed to find something and felt I ate well. We only eat out one night which is a real testament to the quality of the food.
The waiters were also helpful and staff in general were helpful.
We could not have asked for more from this hotel.
In terms of La Herradura the bay is lovely but it is small. It only takes 15 minutes to walk from one side of the bay to the other. There were buses to Nerja and Almunecar and Granada but we like an active holiday in terms of sports etc and have to say there was not enough for us to do in the daytime. There was a sailing/ windsurfing school on the beach which was our main reason for going to La Herradura but the tuition was not great and was a little disappointing.
We really enjoyed the relaxed evenings in various bars the atmosphere was laid back and friendly with no lager louts or karaoke in sight and I have to say I much preferred the Spanish feel to this village as opposed to the more English atmosphere of Nerja.

This hotel is actually in the little seaside village of Herradura and is literally a 2 minute walk from the sea. Don't be put off if you arrive by car as you are directed around the back of the hotel in a shabby side street opposite a small supermarket. However, when you walk through the door the floors and stairs are grey marble and everything is spotlessly clean. The room was also spotless and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever had on holiday. We stayed on a half-board basis as this is what the website offered but there are plenty of restaurants and bars within a 5 minute walk. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace and was plentiful and varied. Dinner is served in the small restaurant downstairs and whilst the food was very good, there was not much choice - one meat dish, one fish dish, various vegatable dishes and loads of fresh salad.
I really cannot fault this hotel and we will definitely be going back. However, bear in mind that Herradura is not a particularly touristy area and the beach is pebbles rather than sand. If you like the true Spain rather than high rise hotels and 'kiss me quick hats' this is ideal.

We stayed at the hotel in July. And it was lovely. The best of the hotel is the staff, they were so friendly and helpful.
The rooms are very comfortables, clean and not noisy at all, even when the hotel is located in a main street.
The restaurant offer a big variety of meals. Excellent is the best word to calificate it.
Our children enjoyed a lot.
It has no pool, but doesn't matter because the beach is so close to the hotel.
We would like to thank the reception staff, their English is quite good and they are hard workers, specially Esther and Elisa ( thank you girls for your patient!!!)
We probably come back following summer.
