The 18-room, mid-range Hotel Paraiso del Mar is short on amenities but it has an intimate and inviting atmosphere ideal for couples. The hotel's proximity to the beach is another major plus, as there's a staircase that brings guests straight to the sand. It's also within walking distance of quite a few bars and restaurants, as well as the town center of Nerja. Guest rooms are old-fashioned, but they're comfortable and outfitted with free Wi-Fi, minibars, air-conditioning, and jetted tubs. Aside from beach access, an outdoor pool, and hot tub, there are no leisure facilities, and dining is limited to a lobby bar and breakfast buffet. Travelers looking for a more family-friendly hotel with additional features should compare prices with Marinas de Nerja Aparthotel.

This contemporary boutique property enjoys a central Nerja location, walkable to both the beach and the town square. Rates are slightly high for a three-pearl hotel, but a breakfast buffet is included, Wi-Fi is free throughout, and minibars in rooms charge only € 1 per item. There’s also a lovely rooftop terrace with two hot tubs. Twenty-six small but modern rooms include electronic controls for everything from air-conditioning to shower speed, which most guests love, but some find confusing. The open layout of the bathrooms is also awkward. The hotel’s adult-only policy makes it a quieter, more sophisticated option than other resorts in the area. As an alternative, Hotel Perla Marina is a kid-friendly hotel right on the beach, but rooms and features are much more dated.

The 118-room, mid-range Hotel Villa Flamenca sits in a residential area of Nerja, an 11-minute walk from the beach and short walk to restaurants and bars. The hotel finished a complete renovation of their rooms in 2016, which resulted in simple but lovely furnishings. All come equipped with free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and furnished balconies, but they lack mini-fridges and safes requires a fee. The small pool and rooftop solarium have free sunbeds, and there are also a sauna and whirlpool. Dining-wise, on-site are a well-reviewed poolside snack bar and restaurant serving buffet-style breakfast and dinner. There's no gym and entertainment is limited, so families with young kids might prefer Riu Monica Hotel Nerja, which has more on-site amenities.

The mid-range Hotel Plaza Cavana is a small property with lovely sea views from multiple areas and located just a five-minute walk from the beach. Rooms are contemporary, with slightly varying features, but all promise free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and balconies -- though some are Juliet-style and not big enough for chairs. It's worth mentioning that some rooms, particularly plaza-facing rooms, can pick up street noise. On-site features are limited to a rooftop pool and adjacent snack bar, and dining room for breakfast. Guests, especially families traveling with children, should check out Riu Monica Hotel Nerja, which has more amenities.

Hostal Don Peque is a charming, budget-friendly option in Nerja, located a five-minute walk from the beach and near ample shops, bars, and restaurants. All 10 guest rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and private bathrooms with stall showers. The homey rooms are spacious and comfortable, and all but two have balconies. Unsurprisingly, features are limited, but there's a rooftop terrace where a well-reviewed continental breakfast is served during warmer weather. The on-site owners and endearing design make this an excellent pick for value-minded adults, though it should be noted there's no elevator for the four-story building. Travelers looking for a few more on-site amenities may prefer Hotel Mena Plaza, which has a rooftop pool and all-day cafe, but less-charming rooms.

The 234-room Riu Monica Hotel Nerja is part of the Riu hotel and resort chain, and the rooms feel like cookie-cutter copies, but the location sets this hotel apart. On Playa de la Torrecilla, with a lovely promenade out front for strolling, the Riu Monica has spectacular Mediterranean views. If guests can drag themselves away from pool, lounge chair, or sand, central Nerja is around a 10-minute walk away, making this an ideal spot for a Costa del Sol holiday.

The 34-room, lower-middle-range Hotel Mena Plaza is simple and contemporary, and has a prime location in the heart of Nerja. The beach is a quick five-minute walk away, while the popular Balcon de Europa is less than a 10-minute walk. Guest rooms are a bit lackluster decor-wise, but they have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and mini-fridges, plus some have furnished balconies. The rooftop pool is the standout feature here, and the on-site dining receives positive reviews. There's no fitness center or anything else to keep guests entertained, however. For families traveling with young children, it's worth comparing prices with Marinas de Nerja Aparthotel, a more kid-friendly property that's right on the beach.

The 197-room Hotel Perla Marina advertises itself as a four-star property, but it's really a three-pearl property in need of a facelift. Still, it has a nice swimming pool and great location on the beach in the coastal town of Nerja. Breakfast is usually included with the cost of the room (some rates include all three meals), but some guests have complained about the quality and variety of food offered. Cleanliness isn't an issue and some rooms have great views of the water from private terraces, but decor is dated and rooms lack charm. Hotel Puerta del Mar is often a bit cheaper and has a bit more character, but it lacks the Hotel Perla Marina's beachside location.

The 98-room Parador de Nerja is part of a state-run chain of Spanish hotels, many of which are in historic buildings. The Parador de Nerja is not picturesque or historic; it's modern and utilitarian, but the views and the private elevator to Burriana Beach at the base of the cliffs make this feel like a special place. Sunsets viewed from the cliff-top hotel are spectacular and romantic, and the 10-minute walk into town for tapas is lovely.

The Hotel Balcon de Europa is one of many four-pearl luxury hotel choices on the Málaga coast, but what sets this 108-room property apart is its prime location on the beach in the center of tourist-friendly Nerja. There's definitely an adult vibe here thanks to the rooftop swimming pool, spa facilities, and a romantic restaurant with views of the beach through floor-to-ceiling windows.
