Otivar Holiday Rentals

"excellent hostal and quality fixtures etc.. quiet and great location "

"Could be great with some policy changes. Room was totally fine (but paper thin walls), buffet totally fine (though vegetarians are basically stuck with the salad bar every meal), location was nice, pools are beautiful when actually open. The main issue with this place is that they put hideous brown fencing around the pools whenever they're not open, and they don't open until 10am even in summer (by which time kids will have been up about 3hrs), which means you're sat at breakfast looking out onto what looks like an ugly construction site. They're also a bit lazy and on cool days when they think not many people will want to swim, they only remove a couple of the fences at the pool steps, leaving an eyesore all day! We understood the safety reasons for the fences, but they need to be removed at sunrise every day without fail and left off until sunset, with the lifeguard hours matched accordingly. It really ruins the experience of the hotel and could be fixed so easily. Evening entertainment is low-budget karaoke, pub quiz, magic show etc. The one and only bar has 25 tables for about 150 rooms so get there early as most people don't fit and had to leave, either heading into Nerja or spending the evenings in the room. Overall, currently feels like a cheap and cheerful 2 or 3-star hotel, but could so easily be much better! Fix the fencing times, add hot vegetarian options at the buffet, and create an alternative evening bar / cafe area. Not sure if we'll ever go back. "

"Great breakfast, good location"

"Super clean room, basic but great for the price. I booked a single room as I'm a solo traveller, and I was pleasantly surprised by the space. I had a very comfortable double bed, adequate storage for one, and good sized shower. Plenty of toiletries including nice body lotion. I felt very safe on the second floor facing the road. It could be a little noisy on occasions, but this didn't really bother me, apart from the night I was leaving, there was a lot of noise, including the person in the next room to me, banging about and coughing etc. But apart from that it was a lovely stay, friendly staff, but not much conversation as I don't speak Spanish and they didn't speak much English."

"Great hotel in the middle of everything "

"Not flexible or helpful with checkout times. "

"Location was excellent we were able to walk everywhere. The bus station was less than 10 minutes away where you could get the bus to Frigiliana. The hotel was very clean and modern and the staff were very friendly. "

"We had a great stay at The Balcony of Eurooe Hotel. Our room overlooked the balcony of Europe, very helpful staff, great breakfast lotd of gluten free available, will be back. "

"Very central location near the beach, restaurants and old town"
