Villas in Punta Lara

"I had originally booked as they had a pool listed only to find out they open in May. Check in process was concerning as they did not get back to me. I had to reach out to the virtual agent for follow up. The virtual agent then let me know that someone would be there at my check in time and provided their name. I had reached out to see if there was an iron and received no response. Some noise from bar below as mentioned and not too bad and is expected. However, as they were getting the pool ready for May opening, there was construction noise in the morning. Overall okay place for a few nights as it is centrally located. The room is somewhat dated and could use a refresh but for the price was reasonable. Great area and close to shops restaurants and beaches. Nerja was lovely and I'd like to visit again."

"All staff were friendly and approachable to meet your every wish. A family oriented hotel with many children running around which for some of us could be a nuisance. But overall something for everyone."

"The location of the hotel is excellent as are the staff. The hotel itself though is quite tired and due an upgrade. The pool area is run down and the sunbeds (if you manage to get one) are broken. There is no pool bar, so the area doesn’t work as despite this you are unable to bring drinks in from outside. This wouldn’t be an issue if there price were not so high, there are much better options locally for this price point "

"All good 👍 "

"We would thoroughly recommend anyone staying at this lovely little boutique hotel, you will not be disappointed."

"excellent hostal and quality fixtures etc.. quiet and great location "

"Could be great with some policy changes. Room was totally fine (but paper thin walls), buffet totally fine (though vegetarians are basically stuck with the salad bar every meal), location was nice, pools are beautiful when actually open. The main issue with this place is that they put hideous brown fencing around the pools whenever they're not open, and they don't open until 10am even in summer (by which time kids will have been up about 3hrs), which means you're sat at breakfast looking out onto what looks like an ugly construction site. They're also a bit lazy and on cool days when they think not many people will want to swim, they only remove a couple of the fences at the pool steps, leaving an eyesore all day! We understood the safety reasons for the fences, but they need to be removed at sunrise every day without fail and left off until sunset, with the lifeguard hours matched accordingly. It really ruins the experience of the hotel and could be fixed so easily. Evening entertainment is low-budget karaoke, pub quiz, magic show etc. The one and only bar has 25 tables for about 150 rooms so get there early as most people don't fit and had to leave, either heading into Nerja or spending the evenings in the room. Overall, currently feels like a cheap and cheerful 2 or 3-star hotel, but could so easily be much better! Fix the fencing times, add hot vegetarian options at the buffet, and create an alternative evening bar / cafe area. Not sure if we'll ever go back. "

"Great breakfast, good location"

"Super clean room, basic but great for the price. I booked a single room as I'm a solo traveller, and I was pleasantly surprised by the space. I had a very comfortable double bed, adequate storage for one, and good sized shower. Plenty of toiletries including nice body lotion. I felt very safe on the second floor facing the road. It could be a little noisy on occasions, but this didn't really bother me, apart from the night I was leaving, there was a lot of noise, including the person in the next room to me, banging about and coughing etc. But apart from that it was a lovely stay, friendly staff, but not much conversation as I don't speak Spanish and they didn't speak much English."
