La Herradura Hotels

Pool area was dirty and needs updating

The location was ideal, right on the beach. The late breakfast suited us (11am) and the staff were friendly. We had requested a Sea View room. But, to see the sea we had to lean out of the balcony and look around the corner.

The place of the Hotel was so nice. Staff Barely speak english. the rooms with view are having just side view from the terrace. you have to explicitly declare during reservation for the need of king size bed as most of the rooms are with small beds.

We had a car and travelled to the National Park beaches and in-land to beautiful villages. The beaches in La Herradura are lovely and at the time we went, not crowded. There is a little harbour to walk around but everywhere is very quiet out of season. It was mostly used by Spanish and got very busy at the weekend. The numbers increased from about 100 to 600 and I believe to 1000 in the high season!During the week it was fine for us considering the good deal we had.

Good room Too much people, too much strees with breakfast and dinner

Rooms and balconies were big and and staff polite. Great view from the balcony. I was disappointed because nobody informed us that the outdoor swimming pools are going to be closed until spring. I would not have chosen that hotel if I had known that. Food in the hotel restaurant was terribly tasteless and bland. The rooms were fairly clean, but the toilet had a smell of urine and there were some hair on the floor. Maids came to clean everyday but the hair did not disappear. One of the pillows had a disgusting smell, but we did not have to use it, as we had 2 bedrooms and needed only one.The kitchen was advetised as fully equipped. In fact we had 2 pots and one cover + one small and scratched frying pan. There was no spatula, no colander, no bowl, no sharp knive, so the kitchen was almost useless.

Good location close to the sea. Beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. Restaurant only served buffet meals. Charge for using car park. More like a 3 star hotel rather than a 4 star.

A nice room We had asked for a nonsmoker room, but were placed in a smoker's room. We mooved to another room, also a smoker's room. After two days we got a nonsmoker room.

the reception staff were friendly/helpful. Location was good adjacent to the beach, also the area is not full of tourists - i.e. there were mistly Spanish families on holiday there The breakfast was not what you would expect from a four star hotel -hard croissants each day! Same limited fruit selection every day and also limited cereals. Coffee (machine) was cool also. Overall could be much improved with little effort.

Lovely location right next to the sea.

the layout near the beach, the sun beds and the grass area and the pool. the evening entertainment was terrible. it really let the place down as we would not stay for dinner or a drink with the entertainment. Also get rid of the Bingo.

Room cleaned and beds made up daily No central foyer/ bar if you wanted to find a bit of life on evenings where entertainment wasn't provided

Location is wonderful. We had the worst location for a room - shouldn't even be offered. Right above an alley-way outside a pub - late night noise + 5:30 am deliveries. Also two twin beds shoved together doesn't make a double bed.

The location

The location is superb right in the centre on the Balcon but also beachside. Hotel functions well and good choice at breakfast. Rooms are clean. Comfortable lounge areas. We found staff very helpful. View from room with balcony overlooking the beach was great. The location bumps it up to 4 star. Rooms are clean but tired. The swimming pool is very small but is compensated by beach access. No charge or problem getting sunbeds on beach in October but understand that this may be different in summer. We found it good value for money but price was reduced! Had a look at a room without a balcony and glad we didn't choose one.

Hotel parking was expensive as no street parking was available close by. Dogs are also allowed in rooms, no thought for next guest. Only two lifts for eight floors.

The hotel was very lovely. The Spa and indoor swimming pool was good. The food was totally not good. I complained to the manager and his answer was to moved to another hotel. We wasn't allowed to enter the dinning room with paying first. We wanted to have a look at a menu and no menu's was available.

Good location, friendly staff, everything was pretty much as we expected to find it. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and Almunecar.Lots of Spanish guests which always says something about a Spanish hotel... The parking costs should be clear from the start - it wasn't expensive but did add a further cost and I think the site simply says parking at cost. Also the fact that they insisted on half board - no option, which was the one thing that nearly made me book elsewhere. There were a couple of nights where we didn't use the hotel simply to have dinner out, but we had to pay for it. Bit restrictive for people who don't have young families and don't want hotel food all week.

I liked the idea that you cannot reserve the sunbeds.

The location There was an awful smell coming from the bathroom drains, which affected the whole room which at times was almost unbearable and not in keeping with the 4 stars. In addition there were very few staff available to serve drinks and there was no room service available. Breakfast was poor.

the flute being played in the room next door, the rooftop pool the food was very mediocre. i had dinner once and it was poor - awful, certainly not worth twenty euros. the only good thing about the breakfast was the fresh fruit. the bacon and the fried eggs were a joke as was the toasted sandwich. i stuck to the fruit. the juice was artificial, the beverage machine appalling. I expect far better than this in a four star hotel. i regret eating dinner there and resent the twenty euros spent on it.

Hotel is situated perfectly for me i.e. very near to the centre but far enough to be in the calm neigbourhood (you can sleep and rest easily). Quite nice rooms but only in the building situated far from the sea (it is still not more than 50 metres). One guy at the reception desk was very helpful (he really did his best to change our room and thanks to this we are glad of our stay in the hotel in general). The building near the beach urgently needs renovation. Very bad breakfasts and it is not about the choice you have. It is about the quality of the food. They should consider changing of the provider of the food they serve with special attention to: juices (unacceptable), coffee (acceptable only with a lot of milk in it), jams (I have never seen anything like that before). And one more thing... they have charged me for the stay not even without my acceptance but also without any information about this fact! Really annoying and completely unacceptable in my opinion.

Sea View, warm room, friendly staff, close to all amenities, car parking facilities. A bit expensive for this time of year. No in room tea, coffee etc, poor in-house four star facilities.

Easy access to the beaches and the town Mildly disappointed with the breakfast mainly the quality of the jam and the fruit juice but it was perfectly adequate.

It was easy to get around Nerja from this hotel but slightly out of the centre so very quiet.
