Marina Turquesa

Family and friends trip. We stayed in one of the 3 bedroom villas with it's own little pool. We loved it! It was perfect. The complex also had a shared pool. Very clean and tidy. Would be handy to have a little snack bar but the Mercadona supermarket is literally next door and everything you need for self catering. There is a vending machine on site if you arrive late at night and need snacks and water. Burriana beach is walkable downhill. A little further to get to Nerja town centre. This is a lovely cliff top walk from Birriana Beach. Ubers seem to be very expensive in Nerja so walking a much cheaper option. We also did a trip to Aquavelis water park. They do a package where the bus is included from Nerja. Pick up just along the road.

Nice small-scale complex, have already booked for next year. Staff is always friendly and apartment is kept well clean. 15 minutes walk to the beach, down and back by taxi in 3 minutes.

We have just returned from a fabulous two week family holiday ( 2 adults, 3 children 16,12 & 12) staying in one of the three bedroom villas at Marina Turquesa. From the moment we walked into reception we were greeted with a friendly smile and checked in without any delay. The staff were always happy to help if needed throughout the stay and always friendly. As we walked to our villa via the pool the whole complex was clean and tidy, we entered the villa which again was clean and tidy. We were pleasantly surprised by the space both upstairs and downstairs as well as the balcony's both front and rear. The small pool in the villa was great with the loungers it was another space to relax. The villa had all we needed, the kitchen had all the pans, cutlery etc that was required. We did eat out most evenings but did cook a few times and had what we needed. The smart tv was a bonus for the children for when they wanted some time out of the sun and the wifi was sufficient for their needs. There was a maid service every 3 days with towel changes and the beds are changed every 6 days. You never needed to put a towel on a sunbed round the main pool, there is a relaxed environment with many of the other guest being, Spanish, Dutch, Scandinavian which gave it a nice feel. You can get towels for the pool from reception for just a 10 euro deposit. The pool is small but sufficient for the size of the complex and was never over crowded when we were there. The gym was excellent and kept my 16 year old son busy for an hour or so each morning, as was the free pool table that occupied all three of them when again they wanted some shade from the sun. There is a big supermarket that has all your needs and just a 3 minute walk so perfect location for when you have the heavy shopping bags with the beers, wine, water etc. The walk to Burriana beach is all down hill and takes about 10 minutes, the beach is lovely with all sorts of activities on offer. There are also many restaurants, shops etc open all day and into the evening. The walk back to the apartments is is a calf burner but a good way to justify that extra beer or ice cream whilst on holiday. The walk into Nerja central is around 15 - 20 mins but again a nice walk with lots to see and do when you get there. There are many variations of the walk in and out of town so you can see different things each time. The water sports on the beach were great but best to book in advance if you have a day time you want to do them. The Kayak trip around the coast and to the waterfall is worth the 30 euro (20 for kids) price and the padel boards were 16 euro for an hour or 24 for two. The caves are only 10 minutes by car and also worth a visit. All in all Nerja is a beautiful part of Spain with lots to see and do, Marina Turquesa is a lovely place to stay and I know we will return.
