El Paraiso

It is a basic hotel that has almost everything necessary to spend the night, without luxuries. Some things are indeed somewhat outdated. To highlight as a positive point how clean everything was, and the beds which are quite comfortable.

Basic hotel stayed 3 nights . It was spotless with large rooms with beautiful views of harbour. Staff very helpful and friendly would definitely recommend this hotel to friends Only downside was no tea or coffee making facilities but tea and coffee available from cafe bar.

This was a one night stopover before I headed off into the mountains on a short trip along the winding roads through the villages between Vélez-Malaga and Competa. It was an excellent choice in terms of location, easy parking (I parked outside even though it was mid-holiday season) and comfort. It’s on the main coast road at the western edge of Caleta de Vélez (where the large weekly Saturday market takes place) with the sea and marina at its rear. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant but has its own bar which sells a variety of snacks (where I had my very inexpensive breakfast) and is a short walking distance from a choice of restaurants. It is modern, bright and has the look and feel of many four star hotels I have stayed in. My room was large, very comfortable and had a balcony overlooking the road and hills beyond. Despite this it was very quiet. The girl at reception was efficient and really pleasant and chatty with all her guests. I went back to say hello when we visited the market a few days later. El Paraiso was a really great choice and highly recommended.
