“Lovely hotel”

The location is good right on the beach and 10m from old town. Lots of restaurants near. The staff are friendly. Food is very good, buffet restaurant and 4 nights a week site down restaurant said it was spanish food but was not. Entertainment was good. Room nice but towels the worst I have ever seen in a hotel room they should be white, big and soft. Also dressing gown and slippers would be nice. Good value for money. If you want value and all included then it is for you. Outside Pool was cold and inside pool.was closed. Very good spa.

“Another great week”

We love going to the Monica, as said so many times it is a brilliant well run hotel in delightful Nerja. The staff are a credit, so many have been there for years and always have a smile for guests. It is great value, the rooms, food, can’t fault it. We look forward to returning. Just go and see for yourself.

“Lovely hotel food better if you eat out”

Very well equipped hotel in a great seafront location. Enjoyed the outdoor and indoor swimming pools. The staff were very nice especially the cleaners. The only criticism was the evening meal which was boring after a couple of days.Nerja is such a nice place with lots of lovely restaurants we should have been bed and breakfast or self catering.

“A wonderful stay - yet again!!”

Recently returned from another visit to the ‘Monica’. Have reviewed almost every previous visit so I’ve not really got much to add to those reviews. It’s superb and remains our favourite tourist hotel in Spain. The quality of the accommodation, facilities and food remain consistently high, and the staff! Fabulous people whose work and dedication continues to offer their guests a great holiday experience. They are credit to themselves and to Riu, who obviously look after their staff who seem very happy working there. It was great to see Ana, Rodrigo, Jose, Manuel, Antonio, Bartello, Paco, Emi, Jose Luis, David and Rosi again as well as some new faces in Sandra, Alex, Nave and the irrepressible ‘new boy’ Alvaro! It’s was disappointing though to miss Mario, Maria and Lola. All the staff are brilliant, including of course the many working behind the scenes who you don’t see in person. If I was forced to point out any negatives, there are 2 criticisms and these are regularly made by other guests, and over a long period. The bathroom towels need changing. They do the job but are well worn and not of a quality you see at similar 4* hotels and…. The ridiculous situation where there’s an 8 o’clock scramble to bag sunbeds. How and why the hotel has allowed this continue is baffling. These 2 issues in no way spoilt our stay or view of the hotel. Keep up the great work Team Monica. Look forward to seeing you next year - we have already booked!!

“A lovely holiday”

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Rui Monica, our favourite in the Riu chain. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough to help with any request. The rooms are spacious and kept immaculately clean. Only criticism was the hair dryer. It only had one heat- very hot! We felt the food had improved from our last visit. It can be a bit repetitive but it was varied and hot dishes were served hot! This seemed to be done by constantly topping up with freshly cooked food. The main pool was clean, although the tiles are looking a bit worn in some areas. The indoor pool is lovely and warm but not too sure about the strange shaped seats. The Monica is on the sea front, a short walk from the town centre and the Balcon de Europa. Perfect for exploring the town. We hope to return soon.
