As part of our trip to Costa Blanca we booked a four night trip to Costa del sol area of Spain.
We wanted to visit Nerja and also Mazarron .
Here we requested the parador as we have used a few on previous visits to Spain .
Dan from Hogan Holidays made the reservations for us and made suggestions ref hotels and adding a visit to Guadix on the return to our apartment .
The suggestions were excellent the customer service was outstanding and the administration of our bookings were excellent .
The company took all the hard work away made our planning and assisted with the itinerary and provided great instructions both on line and in hard copy as requested by us .He had good local knowledge and therefore could advise us on many aspects.
The Ramada hotel in Mazzaron was fantastic and they gave us an upgrade on the room the hotel has also been recently refurbished so everything was clean, bright ,and modern,we also enjoyed a good meal in the lovely garden that evening .
The Parador in Nerja was a beautifully situated overlooking the sea and we had amazing views from our room of the Interesting gardens and bay . The breakfasts were very well presented and took extra hygiene precautions in relation to the covid restrictions , we were impressed ,we were able to eat outside on the terrace ,enjoying the sunrise , service was excellent .
On our overnight stay in Guadix Hogan holidays suggested a old central town hotel ,it was full of
Spanish charm , good reception and a nice breakfast ,a little cramped in their breakfast room it was fun to hear the church clock striking .
The town is full of interesting history with a magnificent cathedral which had organised tours, and cave houses in the surrounding locality were also worth visiting.
It made a good stop and we could have stayed longer .
There were plenty of options for eating we enjoyed lunch in an enclosed town square ,nice and airy with some shade out of the hot midday sun, with a daily lunch menu in an excellent location .
So to sum up we were very pleased with our whole experience of using
Hogan Holidays for the first time ,we would not hesitate to return for future trips .
