Hotel Club Spa by Dorobe

The hotel pool and outdoor area where great . The food was terrible and cold even at 7 pm when the restaurant opened .we ate out almost every night ! The hill is OK going down but the problem was you could never get a taxi back at night .So couldn't have a drink in the town because most nights you had to walk back up cardiac hill . I never leave a review but I don't want people to book half board when the food was apalling. The rest of the hotel was lovely Except the rude man with the white hair behind the bar.

Called in for drinks and to 'enjoy' the live music, it was appalling and far too loud. A guy singing music from the 1950's and 60's, to be old enough to have enjoyed this music in it's era you would now have to be around 90! Come on Nerja Club you need to up your game, isn't it time you joined the 21st century!

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS ONCE GREAT HOTEL !!!!!! After the last stay in 2023 , it had sunk to the depths we thought it couldn't go . We've been coming to this hotel for around 15 years and since an owner change a few years ago , it seems with wallpaper hanging off walls, shower broken , the food almost inedible, very poor quality, without taste , and warm, at times cold ) . With groups of Spanish holidaymakers taking over the terrace area's at night , it felt on the verge of intimidation , when they began removing ALL the tables and chairs from the rest of the terrace in order to have a huge party area of very loud and noisy OAPs ( and we Brit say its the teens that are too rowdy ). This happened on a few nights both under the rooved terrace area , and just inside , when the Spanish singer was playing . The hotel management has this thing going , that if you're not happy with your room they will allocate another at a further charge of 10 euros per night EACH . They tried this with me and i stood my ground , after 90 minutes they capitulated and upgraded us to a superior room at NO Charge , the same happened to friends we meet there ,and they paid 160 euros just to get a room that wasn't in the dire need of redecoration . Lastly if you pay for half or full board , make sure you budget extra money for your visits to nearby supermarkets to buy food , when the food quality in the restaurant is so lacking in both quality and taste . ( unless you eat chips every night ) We experienced this around 25 years ago with the Villa Flamenca , that closed , and then reopened after big refurb . After the refurb came a big price hike , that was then taken off the list of hotels by Thomson .

Would not come back as a gift. Awful location, mile and half uphill from town and beach. Rooms sub-standard, at least the one I was in directly above the bar, so noisy too. Restaurant food ... Forget it. Staff pleasant enough but service not great, 1 worker on a busy evening, 2 at quiet lunchtime.
