The Playamaro apartments are located in Maro, a small hamlet of Nerja. With a privileged location, between two natural landscapes, the Sierra Tejeda-Almijara and the natural landscape of Maro-Cerro Gordo, where you can find in its crystal clear waters an infinity of fish, in one of the most beautiful coves of the Costa del Sol. Just 1640 feet from the famous Caves of Nerja.
Our accommodations is located just 0.6 mi from the coast, 5 minutes by car from Nerja and 40 minutes from Malaga and Pablo Picasso International Airport.
The Playamaro apartments are equipped with everything you need for your stay: equipped kitchen, air conditioning, bathroom with bathtub, hairdryer, etc. We have a studio, several one-bedroom apartments, some with balcony or terrace and two spacious apartments with two bedrooms and magnificent terraces.
"I am so happy and pleased that we stayed here; I’m really glad we chose this place. Here are my detailed thoughts after our stay:
The price was incredibly low compared to nearby hotels and aparthotels, and it offered much more value.
After checking in online, your room number and door code are automatically sent to you—it’s fast, practical, and very convenient.
The room was amazingly nice, clean, and spacious. The one we stayed in also had a large balcony, which is great for relaxing in the evening if you like.
It’s about a 7–8 minute taxi ride to the center. Uber costs around €17 on average, which is pretty much the only downside as commuting back and forth gets a bit pricey. I would strongly recommend renting a car instead, as you can get very good cars for just €10 a day.
The nearest beach is Playa de Maro, and we went there every day during our 5-day stay. It’s a maximum 8–9 minute walk and is a beautiful, clean cove. You can rent a sunbed and umbrella together for €6. The beach itself is free, so you can just sit on the sand if you prefer. There’s a café where you can get food and drinks, or you can buy your own supplies from a market.
There is a small pool on the top floor of the hotel with views of the surroundings and the sea. We never used it since the sea was more enjoyable for us.
If you head into the center of Nerja, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and pubs to enjoy your time.
There are 2 or 3 nice restaurants around the hotel. Restaurant Maro (full name: Hogar Y Centro Social Maro) and a casual seafood spot in the side street called Bar El Rincón de la Tapa, where you can eat incredibly delicious, fresh, and cheap fish.
The side streets and the surrounding area are lovely. We walked around and found some great spots for photos.
The most famous beach in the center of Nerja, Playa Burriana, is about 7–8 minutes away by Uber."
