Sayalonga Hotel with Pool

"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."

"Location is perfect. Excellent breakfast and room with a great ocean view. Highly recommended"

"Everything was wonderful! Loved the hot tubs on the rooftop patio"

"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."

"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."

"Great breakfast, good location"
