We have just returned home from an amazing 2 week holiday in Nerja. The apartment is lovely and spacious. There were 4 of us (2 adults a Teenager and a 6-year-old).
The apartment is well equipped including beach/pool towel, deck chairs to use at the pool, shopping trolley and a BBQ.
As stated in other reviews the pool area was brilliant (5 min walk from apartment), you can hire the sun beds for €3 or take your own chairs down which we did (2 deck chairs from the apartment). The pool side bar was fab especially for the traditional holiday (beer ‘o clock).
The area around the apartment is quite hilly as you are situated at the base of the mountain. The plus side of this is that it gives you incredible views of the mountains and the sea view from the balcony, however if you need to do a food shop which includes a couple of 8 litre bottles of water and you don’t have a car it could become tricky.
The supermarket at the bottom of the hill (Mercadona) offers a delivery service for €4, so you go round the supermarket do your shop and then leave it there for them to deliver at a time slot you have chosen (it’s a bit like Iceland’s services) well worth it if you don’t have a car.
The town and beach were both around a 20-minute walk (all downhill) and then we sometimes got a taxi back for around €8. The bus stop that is a few yards away from the apartment is just €1 per person and will take you to the town centre and there are some timeslots where is goes down to the beach as well.
We visited the caves which were very close to the apartment, we got a taxi there as we hadn’t worked the bus system out yet it was about €8. When we were done there, the local bus was outside for €1.15 each.
Finally we visited a waterpark there are 2, in the end we chose Aquavelis, they offer a free coach from the other supermarket (Supersol) at the bottom of the hill from the apartment, the coach leaves at 10:20am gets you to waterpark at 11am and then collects you again at 6:45pm. We weren’t sure if we would last that long however we did, the water park is brilliant, there is a wave pool and some fun slides, we went with a teenager and a 6 year old and was enjoyed by all. There are a couple of restaurants at the waterpark too. We booked our tickets online, but I think you might be able to book from tourist information in town.
We used Nerja taxi transfer from airport brilliant service,
Pauline was brilliant with any questions we had; We loved our stay! Thank you
