Ítrabo Hotel with Pool

"Friendly staff and a cool, contemporary environment. We loved the high tech, eco-friendly amenities. "

"Okay stay. Breakfast was decently good for a continental breakfast. Biggest plus was the easy parking on the property and the giant supermarket right next to it. Staff is friendly. Walk to the beach is also just 15 minutes downhill. Convenient and cheap for a one night stay, but super outdated. If the hotel just upgraded their bathrooms it would make a significant difference to the overall feel. Most notably- the shower floor. It is a brown and blue streak color mix tile with brown grout. Looking at it you have no idea if it is clean or not, making using the shower feel quite gross. There is also one liquid provided in the shower- is this shampoo? Body wash? Having actual bottles at the sink and in shower would make it look less like a public bathroom. Bathroom fixtures also don’t seem cleaned well from the limescale. Room itself is ok, clean. No issues there."

"Wonderful location. Rooms are a little dated but clean and very functional and comfortable. Hallways were impeccably clean, which was impressive given its on-beach location. Breakfast buffet had great selection, as well as other good dining in the hotel and nearby. Excellent service throughout visit. "

"The hotel staff were all very friendly and welcoming except for the reception staff who were very abrupt and quite rude. We had contacted the hotel twice prior to our arrival to request a quiet room with a sea view however we did not get a reply and on arrival we were allocated a side sea view room overlooking waste land used as a car park. We were informed that they give priority to guests who book directly with the hotel. Also, we had to return to reception numerous times as our key-card didn’t work despite ensuring that it was kept away from our mobile phones. Our room was quite tired and in need of an upgrade but at least it was clean and the daily housekeeping was excellent. We were AI - the food in the buffet restaurant was quite good with plenty of variety - the waiters were very friendly and attentive. The bar staff were all friendly and efficient too however the all inclusive cocktails were horrible - if you wanted a decent cocktail, they were 10€ each. Evening entertainment was a bit mixed and included singers, karaoke & bingo - so not to everyone’s taste. There are plenty of sun loungers so no need to reserve a bed with a towel (although that still happened around the pool area). The hotel is a 30 mins walk into town or a short bus ride. Would highly recommend visiting the Cueva de Nerja - these caves are absolutely breathtaking and a must see. Overall, we enjoyed our week and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel in a quiet location."

"I stayed at Hotel Elba in Motril for a weekend and had a very pleasant experience. The room was spotless and had a lovely balcony with views of the beach. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious and well equipped. Breakfast was included in the price and offered a good variety of foods and drinks, with plenty of options to suit different tastes. The hotel also has both indoor and outdoor pools, though I didn’t get the chance to use them, so I can’t comment on those facilities. Parking cost €7 per day, which I found reasonable for the area. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, the sound insulation is a bit of an issue as you can hear people speaking in the next room but I would definitely choose Hotel Elba again for a future visit to Motril."

"Nice resort . Very nice and helpful staff . Breakfast was great. "

"Excellent stay overall. The location is excellent and very convenient. The rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and well equipped, which made for a comfortable visit. The only downside for me was the breakfast selection—it would benefit from a wider choice, particularly cereals, yogurt options, and healthier additions like chia seeds. Aside from that, a great experience and I would happily stay again"

"The property had a strong cleaning solution odor to cover up the smell of smoke and animals. The room had a musty, stale smell to it. There were numerous ants everywhere in the rooms. Additionally, the parking spot for our room was completely unreasonable as you could not park a normal size car and open the door. It said that it had pool access, but there was no pool access. There was no AC either. The one bedroom exterior access door could not be locked shut. We messaged the owner about the ants as well as the pool access and never heard anything back. We had to call to get the Wi-Fi information because it wasn’t provided on any paperwork. The views were beautiful, and the area was beautiful, and the exterior deck was amazing to eat at. We would not stay here or with this company again in the future."

"We love this hotel! This was our third time at Arrayanes Playa Hotel. The location and beach view is perfect. Being on the edge of town gives greater choices for the beach and is just outside of the paid parking zone. We even played ping pong in the recreation room. The staff is friendly and very helpful."
