Perla Marina Hotel

as the hotel itself. As we were bed and breakfast only we were out most evenings and didnt manage to see any of the evening entertainment other than the Flamenco Dancers, which did not let the audience down, infact the audience were included!!

Breakfast was suberb, there was a choice for everyone and the food was always fresh and plentiful. There was fresh fruit, breads and pastries, cereal or a full cooked breakfast. Plenty of fresh fruit juice and also milk, tea and coffee. the breakfast cannot be faulted at all. I cannot comment on evening meals as we never had one actually in the hotel, but eating out there is an abundance of places to choose from, all of which i cannot fault either.

The cleanliness of the hotel was top notch. The pool areas were never left to get dirty or in a mess, nor were the pools. The interior of the hotel was pristine, as were the rooms.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and have already booked up to go back again next year, and i cant wait!

table, 2 chairs, 2 sun loungers and a parasol. It is also well worth opting for the sea view supplement as it would be a shame to look out onto the building site and have no discernable balcony. The views are lovely and we watched the sun set over the mountains on a couple of occasions. The room itself was spotless, spacious and had the welcome addition of a fully operational fridge! The room was serviced every day.

The only negative was the food. The choice was very limited and that which was on offer was invariably luke warm and contained non descript \"meat\". There is no suitable food for children, barring the chocolate and vanilla icecream. Having said that, the Hotel is steered towards more adult clientele and there are plently of other hotels which would attract and cater for families.

The hotel\'s location is within easy walking distance of beaches, restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

In conclusion the Perla Marina is a clean, friendly, well situated hotel which offers a very relaxing atmosphere. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nerja, but be prepared to eat out on a few nights a week - particularly at King\'s Chinese Tapas which is about 20 paces right of the hotel. Don\'t be put off by it\'s apparent lack of customers. The food is, without doubt, the best chinese food we have ever tasted. It\'s emptiness owes more to it\'s location than anything else. If you like Chinese food, you simply have to go there and meet King. Oh, and be sure to visit the Mexican, Cielto Lindo, even if only to read the English translation of the Menu. The food is also fantastic.
