Hotel Santa Rosa ★★★

"We arrived at night as a family of four in October 2023 half term. As we arrived in the room the lights tripped immediately and put the room in darkness. We went back to Reception, who came up to our room and reset the electronic box trip switch. We stayed for 6 nights and the electricity continuously tripped throughout our stay, sometimes within 15 mins of the last tripping, and only with the lights on (no devices charging or hair drier on). The beds were very hard and uncomfortable, but Reception provided a duvet to sleep on after the first night. The bathroom was a dated brown marble, very small and leaked from the shower doors. The shower itself was powerful though. The balcony was very small with two rusting air-con units taking up any space. The corridor to the room had a large section of plaster removed showing blue mould The breakfast was basic, a selection of breads, danishes, ham, cheese, scrambled egg and bacon. However, after 6 nights stay we would have preferred some variation, fresh fruit and a replacement toaster is needed (the current one is so old it took countless times to feed your bread through to get your bread brown!). The location of this hotel is in a Spanish residential area, and too far out of the tourist resort of Torrox Costa. Very few people spoke English, even hotel staff. There was a bus stop a minute’s walk from the hotel but buses were unreliable and infrequent, this could have been to the time of year though. Across the road from the Santa Rosa Hotel is another hotel which is full of immigrant male, Nigerian men, who loitered around the roads and the beach, which could be especially unnerving at night time. There were only a few bars/restaurants near the hotel which were mainly filled with Spanish locals. However, MAO bar on the beach was s saviour and Plays bar was very pleasant too, with a children’s play park next door. We generally called a taxi most evenings to Torrox Costa which was full of tourist restaurants (Magon was very good), promenade and beach with umbrellas/sun beds to hire. The local town of Nerja, a 20/25 minute bus ride away was well worth a visit, with lots of shops and restaurants and the breathtaking Balcony of Europe. The staff at the Hotel Santa Rose were helpful and the cleanliness was excellent. A redeeming feature of this hotel is how well the rooms are cleaned everyday. Credit to the cleaning staff. Plus bathroom towels are changed daily. Another positive is it’s location on the beach. However, there are no umbrellas or sunbeds to hire on the beach, and the sand is a dirty grey. The hotel provides modern sun loungers in there astroturf grounds, and a small pool too but unfortunately the pool bar was shut in October, so there was no opportunity to get any refreshments, unless you went up to the bar in Reception. The bar in Reception was pleasant in the evenings, but very quiet, some background music would be welcomed, so that everyone could not overhear your con"

Iberostar Waves Málaga Playa ★★★★

"The room is facing the beach, which is very beautiful. The breakfast is very rich. It takes only about 40 minutes to drive to Malaga. It takes more than an hour to go to Granada. It can be used for vacation and leisure, and it can also be used as a tourist hub. Very good."

Olée Nerja Holiday Rentals by Fuerte Group ★★★★

"This is a great place to stay for families with children. The space is spacious and comfortable, and the sea view is truly amazing. The staff are also friendly."

Hotel Rural Los Caracoles ★★★

"The place is very charming although the road is a bit bad The facilities are a little neglected The dinners we had at the restaurant were very delicious. The breakfast included at night gives you a little bit of home for my taste, it lacks something sweet Overall pretty good I stay with the wonderful views and tranquility"

Villa Las Tres J ★★★

Hotel la Casa ★

"Beautiful hotel. Food amazing, service is exceptional. Sarah and Karen were like friends not just staff / owners. Knew everyone by name, really accommodating . Stunning views and a great location. Not too far from the beach too! We went swimming in the sea even in December. Great long weekend in Torrox. Really enjoyed the Migas Festival."

Alojamiento Colina del Sol ★★★★

"You could not find a more hospitable couple than Jose and Nieves. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so very welcome and that first impression was built on day by day. Nothing was too much trouble, from making sure we had the right coffee at breakfast to tilting the sun umbrellas so we had shade. Any lack of readily understood vocabulary on both sides was easily and charmingly made up for with Google Translate and good humour and we are confident that if we had had any problems during the stay then Nieves and Jose would have been only too happy to help. Our lovely room was absolutely spotless - and we mean spotless - which is very rare in our experience. The bed was very comfortable, the air con effective and our terrace generous and sunny in the afternoons/evening. If you like beautiful fresh fruit, then you’d love the breakfasts we have had here. Fruits (mangoes, plums and figs a real highlight), ham and cheese, yoghurt, bread, cake, boiled eggs, home grown olive oil and mango condiments - all available every morning. Not grand or fancy, but delicious and thoughtful. We have enjoyed our breakfasts here more than in many hotels. So overall, we would thoroughly recommend the Casa Colina del Sol to any couple who are planning to see properties and explore Torrox and surrounds as we have. A fab little B&B - wonderful value and such a friendly place. We are planning to return to stay here when next staying in the area. Very best wishes to Jose and Nieves meanwhile. What lovely people to have met on our travels. Hannah and Duncan x"
