Calahonda Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Calahonda, Motril

"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. "

"Perfect location with an excellent restaurant and friendly service. Very comfortable beds."

"Parking was difficult, I think as it was a Sunday afternoon when we arrived. We later managed to move our car nearer to the hotel. Room was pleasant with view of the castle to the rear. It did get a little noisy when they emptied the bins but quiet other than that. Breakfast is brought to your table. Nice choice of fruit, yoghurt, toast with eggs, or tostada with tomatoes, tuna, ham, jams, fruit juice and coffee. We enjoyed exploring the front, the Péñedes de San Cristóbal, the Castle de San Miguel (beware it’s closed on Mondays) the Parque de Majuelo and the Tourist Information building. The corner promenade was being refurbished but looking forward to a return visit to see it completed 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."

"Great breakfast, good location"

"Lovely clean room, quick check-in, small terrace at back of room. "

"Great location, 2min walk to the beach or Alsa bus stop . Restaurant all around. Clean room, super comfortable bed. Nice buffet breakfast, not included, but very affordable if you will like to add it to your stay. "

"Just returned from a weeks hols in October 2025, just my and son and a I. Hotels remote, but beautiful. In fairness it was better than good, very good even, just not quite 5 stars. Not many brits here, good or bad make your own mind up. But I would recommend learning sone spanish. Its definitely alpreciated. Buffet food was good, plenty to choose. And plenty of booze too. Would defo recommend to families, couples and anyone else for that matter. To the staff thank you for working hard. And to the 2 pensioners scrapping in the bingo hall. Naughty boys!! "
