Hotel Playamaro

Do not stayat this place!!!

+ Do not book this hotel!!!! I have travelled to a lot of places and this is not good. Why? The online check in is absolutely terrible. They do not clean rooms or even fresh towels. If you return after midnight you have to have a code to get in and that after an hour checking in was not given to us. If you go no reception and online only then be online!!! There are better options in Maro.

Playa Maro Hotel

+ We spent a week at the PlayaMaro Hotel and absolutely loved it! The hotel has a rustic charm , a little old-fashioned, but full of character. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, safe, and right in the beautiful village of Maro. Food was tasty, and the atmosphere felt authentically Spanish. A great choice if you’re looking for genuine hospitality and a true taste of Spain.

Personal excepcional 😊 Desayunos a mejorar

+ Ha destacar la atención de todo el personal, un trato excepcional. La habitación confortable y cómoda. A tener en cuenta que los desayunos podrían tener algo más de variedad, porque es escaso la verdad. Y de nuevo repetir desde el personal de limpieza, mantenimiento y camareros un trato increíble.

+ No había recepción presencial, por lo que nos enviaron toda la información por mail y whatsApp. No venía la información del horario del desayuno, lo que sería importante a añadir. Por lo demás bien. Ha sido un sitio agradable.

Ok for the price but needs some attention

+ 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.

Under all kritik

+ Ingen städning på 14 dagar, jätte dåligt..

+ El alojamiento está bien, lo único q no me gustó era q no disponía de ningún tendedero y cuando llegas de la playa vendría bien para toallas y bañadores. El parking muy concurrido y poco sitio para aparcar.

Poor Hotel Experience - Cannot Recommend

+ 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.​

No lo recomiendo

+ A la llegada faltaba una cama, la habitación estaba sucia, tuvimos que barrer nosotros, polvo sobre los enseres, me cobraron la estancia doble, el cubo de la limpieza estaba todo el día en el pasillo con el agua negra,etc.

Good - and easy to make it even better

+ 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

Awful place

+ This place is the most disgusting hotel ever the photos that are online hotel booking platforms are so far from the truth of this rundown outdated place. Definitely catfished.. I had booked a mini break with 2 of my friends in nerja. We were looking forward to a relaxing holiday instead we were left in tears and stress. This hotel had no reception open no support from anyone. There is no restaurant or pool bar no where to get even a glass of water. The rooms were filthy and definitely not fit for any human to stay in. We had to fork out for alternative accommodation. We were left totally disappointed and stressed that ruined our stay in nerja. This place should not be on any hotel booking platform. Photos included of what we actually were expected to stay in

Give this a hard pass

+ Where to start? Check in was less than smooth. It required multiple WhatsApp messages and phone calls. If you decide to stay here and don’t have WhatsApp, download before going! We knew it was off season so were prepared for fewer amenities, no biggie for us. The hotel itself is a throw back in time. Some might feel nostalgia going back to a simpler era. Quaint even. We booked a 2 bed with a kitchenette. The beds were ok but not somewhere you’d like to curl up in and sip your morning coffee. That’s probably a good thing because you couldn’t make coffee in the room! We overlooked the fact that the room was dirty and that there were cigarette butts out on the spacious balcony, because the balcony was probably the highlight of the room. As it was off season and unusually cool, we tried putting the heat on to take the edge off. Unfortunately, that blew a breaker which meant no heat, no tv (not that you go to Spain for the tv), and no power to what passed for a kitchenette. Quick call to the people we spoke with to check us in and we’re assured a technician would be out. Two days later they said the technician had been. Unfortunately all they did was flip the breaker so when we turned the heat on, we immediately lost it again! We spent the time there with no heat or ability to use the kitchen. We love this area and charmed by the old Spanish decor. But….if you want a comfortable and relaxing stay, it’s NOT here!

+ 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.

Excellent accommodation

+ Excellent location in a beautiful village

Lazy Cleaners and a backwards receptionist

+ I BEG THE BRITISH NOT TO BOOK THIS HOTEL with on the beach. They don't like complaints, and I've reported our room not being cleaned for 5 days now, do not fall for there false advertisements that there's a pool to the restaurant being open when it's not, on the beach and the hotel do not care, they expect us british people to live in filth. I ain't no scruff. Enjoy the pictures and I hope it puts you off like it has with me. I will fight for the refund believe me. There scruffs and lazy.

not too bad

+ it was okay but when I was looking for a hotel in Nerva, this one popped up. So I booked. Little did I know it was not in Nerva but in Maro, so that was a little deceiving, had to change a few things right there, was of course no way to look for something in Nerva directly, so we stayed

+ Wir waren vom 15.09.2024 bis Ende September in dem Hotel. Alles hat ohne Probleme funktioniert. Wir hatten eine WhatsApp-Nummer, unter der wir uns informieren konnten. Wir haben z.B. am letzten Tag um eine Verlängerung des Check out gebeten, weil wir am Abend einen Flug hatten und ohne Probleme wurde uns das gegen einen kleinen Aufpreis erlaubt. Wir erhielten einen Link und bezahlten sofort. Der Eingang zum Hotel ist mit einem Code versehen, ebenso die Eingänge zu den Zimmern. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Terrasse (006) und wir waren wirklich sehr zufrieden. Das Parken war immer kostenlos. Strände insgesamt sehr schön, nur geht es die ganze Zeit bergab. Zum Strand von Maro kann man mit dem Auto fahren. Strände so gemütlich, und schön. Wenn jemand Ruhe mag, ist es zu empfehlen. Nach Nerja sind es etwa 7 Minuten mit dem Auto, aber man muss lange nach einem Parkplatz suchen. Die Parkplätze sind kostenlos. Das Einzige, was ich mir wünschte, wäre, dass die Küche besser ausgestattet wäre, aber wir haben es hinbekommen. Grüße aus Aachen

+ This property was ok. Had to move apartments because the blinds did not close in my first room, when I changed room the shower in this apartment was honestly ridiculous. Soaked the whole bathroom. Reported all the issues, nothing got sorted during my 4 night stay. There were no utensils, all of the plates and cutlery were left in the drying rack. The bottom of the bath was dirty. Didn’t go up to the pool area as I spent my time in Nerja. But other than these issues, it was ok.

+ Parking was difficult. Only half a dozen spaces outside. Public car park opposite, but due to fiesta we were turned away! Literally nowhere to park. Had to visit somewhere else and come back later. No warning from hotel about potential parking problems either. Rooms were dated. Poor decor, minimal crockery erc too

Hotel de paso correcto, caro para lo que es,...

+ La recepcionista muy bien la habitacion: correcta. Pedí cama matrimonio pero no hubo suerte. Para mi las camas, almohadas y sábanas no eran confortables. No había jabón ni en el lavabo, ni en la ducha y ya no había personal en recepción para pedirlos. Muy mal puesto que la habitación no estaba disponible hasta más tarde de las 14h. Desde las 12h que se deja, tienen tiempo suficiente para revisar y reponer.

Danesa vs Espania

+ Very nice place and view. Pool is good and one of the only pools in Maro. There is no service at the hotel but if you know then all good.

+ Los apartamentos bastante antiguos Bañera vieja y en mala condición …y prácticamente sin servicio de recepción no llegan hasta las 11 de la mañana y se van a las 19:00 pm si tienes dudas como saber hora d check out o preguntar si puedes aumentar una noche más …tiene q ser en ese horario porq en recepción no hay nadie . Las recepcionistas cuando están les preguntas recomendaciones donde ir o donde comer y no saben nada de la zona

Service and friendliness hard to beat

+ Booked this hotel last minute for weekend away, arrived to find that our reservation hadn't reached the hotel and they were fully booked, however the friendly lady receptionist was amazing and managed somehow to find us a room and had it cleaned and prepared in minutes, staff in the bar are super friendly and helpful, food was very good in the restaurant, small pool on the roof was really nice at the end of a hot day, location great, bus down to the beach for €1.50 return. We totally fell in love with this classic Spanish hotel, comfy beds, spotless and friendly, can't wait to go there again!

+ We

+ Estuvimos muy agusto nos sentimos como en casa

Absolute false advertising!

+ This was our second visit to this hotel. It’s in the village we need to be in so thought we would give it a go as surly they must have got the pool sorted as it’s still being advertised! Nope, 4 years later it’s still not in use and people are paying for this facility. Also, no balcony you can sit out on, was told last time, ‘we don’t have balconies in real Spain’ ??. If this hotel was advertised and priced for what it actually is, a one star cheap and chearfull with a good 40 minute walk into nerja, then fine, but it’s not !

+ Todo bien

Excellent rooms and food

+ Fantastic views from our 2 balcony's, separate bedroom, breakfast either continental or bacon and scrambled eggs. Evening meal , not much choice as we had paid half board , but lovely.Outside tables if you want to eat outside. Good location for the caves. Town a 10 euro ride away or you can walk. Nerja is beautiful and lively with loads of shops and places to eat. I would recommend both hotel and location.

Cozy small hotel

+ Very small, but nice city Maro. Booked hotel as we should start tracking at mountains next day. Cozy ambience, nice staff and ok rooms. Great location, good restaurant by hotel. Bit noice, as there was festival in the city during our stay.

Small bar restaurant good food

+ Lovely salads in a small rustic ambience. Alioli however was bought in a large catering bottle. Didn’t waste the lovely food flavours. Good shade on terrace in nice Maro village setting. Located in town uphill from beach.

Value for money

+ We have stayed here twice both times out of season. Accomodation is basic but adequate and clean. Value for money and food very good. Rates seem on high side for main season but if you are looking for a good deal out of season and want a quiet hotel in a small village away from Nerja would recommend this one. Maro is quiet place and pleasant enough despite the local habit of turning the dogs out and letting them mess so tourists can tread in it. Bizarre lack of consideration. Apart from that no problems.

Excellent basic hotel

+ Excellent holiday, Nerja is marvellous. Hotel Playamaro very clean, very helpful staff, comfortable beds, lovely view, excellent aircon. Maro is a lovely village & we had a hire car to get into Nerja. Parking at Maro beach car park 100yards downhill ( nowhere near the beach!). However there was no fridge or kettle in the room & couldn't get Wifi to work in the annexe. Breakfast was rather limited - we bought a kettle for coffee in our room. The room was described as "promo" by "On the Beach" which didn't correspond with anything that the hotel published, so it was difficult to work out in advance what we had booked. Happy to return again.
