Apartahotel Playamaro by Dorobe

We didn't expect much for the price and were pleased with the size of room and ammenities. Nice little kitchen. Toilet and shower ok. Good air conditioning but not in bedroom. We brought a fan with us. Convenient for beach and taxis available to Nerja for less than 10 euros. However, we had no fresh towels all week. No clothes horse to dry clothes. Pool is grotty with clumps of hair from drain. Bar below is awful for evening meals. Parking is difficult too. We did enjoy our stay. Just accept basic conditions.

I stayed at this hotel in Nerja, and while the location is convenient and close to Nerja Cueva, that’s where the positives end. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone. The hotel falls drastically short on the most basic hospitality standards. The cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable - rooms were not properly cleaned, and hygiene standards were far below what any guest should expect. The overall comfort level was extremely poor, making it difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. Despite the decent location that offers easy access to local attractions, the fundamental issues with cleanliness, comfort, and hygiene make this hotel unsuitable for any traveler. These are not minor inconveniences but serious deficiencies that significantly impact the guest experience. I would strongly advise looking for alternative accommodation in the area. There are certainly better options available that maintain proper standards of cleanliness and comfort. Save yourself the disappointment and choose elsewhere. ​

Good location for the beaches at Maro and quieter than Nerja. Maro village is nice and we had good evening meals there. The pueblo needs to crack down on the very obvious drug dealing in the streets. Our rooms were nice with a generous balcony. It was clean. But -you need to take your own things for making coffee _ there is a hob and a microwave -when we turned the air con, the fuse blew. _the front door had been left wide open one afternoon when we got back. We were unable to close it after us. We were there off season. Hopefully things are better organised during high season. If so, it would be avery nice place to stay.

Not as advertised on Expedia web site. No cafeteria or restaurant

This would have been a fabulous hotel in 1980… sadly it has declined and not been updated… the photographs are long out of date. The kitchen and dining table were dirty, the fixtures and fittings were dated and the decaying dead bird on the balcony sort of summed our stay up.
