Lovely hotel, huge varied selection of food. Drinks prices very reasonable. Indoor pool great, bit too cold for outside pool but all looks spot on. Right on the beach. A few bars nearby but a good 20- 30 mins walk to the main area (Balcona De Europe) which is well worth the walk. Only thing to note is that even though it's adult only I wasn't expecting the average age of the other guests to be about 75!! Not often at 48 in a room full of 200 people I'm the youngest! Certainly felt like making any kind of noise, pool splashing, music etc would be frowned upon! Entertainment each night a bit cheesy we had Elvis and ABBA tributes but all good fun I guess!

Have stayed here before. The staff are exceptional and the ambiance, size of the rooms and facilities. Another great reason for booking this hotel is the excellent entertainment programme.

I think that the food standards have fallen a lot over the last few years. Dinner had no red meat option except burgers on this particular evening, chicken, fish and pasta were the main choices. My chicken was dry and pretty tasteless. my friend's fish was also disappointing. It was obvious that the management was cutting costs with inferior produce. For example even since November last smoked salmon has disappeared from the selection. However, breakfast was good apart from undrinkable coffee.

Excellent on both counts. But unfortunately, the sun beds, were all taken by 8 in the morning, and most people did not arrive down to use them for 3 to 4 hours later after leaving their towels on them. Most ANNOYING - for this reason, I would have to think strongly if I would return - otherwise great hotel. Regards, Joan

The above sun bed situation - very bad

Book! It’s a wonderful hotel. This is a really high quality place in Nerja and I am not surprised that people come back year after year. The staff make it get extra points from me as they are so pleasant, professional and welcoming. The rooms are so comfortable (not mega fancy but immaculate & spacious ) and the food is REALLY excellent - a very high standard for a buffet set-up. Wow again the staff run the busy dining room like a theatre. It’s v impressive.

Amazing break. The hotel has thought of anything you could want, and the staff were always available and eager to help. Food in the restaurant was a mix of different types and tastes - was brilliant to be able to pick and try a selection to discover what you liked best. The pool bar also had a selection of snacks - what we tried was really nice. Both pools were great. I enjoyed an early morning swim in the indoor pool each morning and spent time relaxing by outdoor pool in between walking on the connected beach or wondering down the centre of Nerja. Nerja is so beautiful, and the hotel's location and facilities make it a perfect place to experience it.

Just home and still buzzing from the experience - I can't think of anything I didn't like - so much so that we are already looking at going back.

For me everything was perfect. My room was spotless clean, bright, modern and spacious. I was concerned at first being on the lower ground level but I actually wouldn’t have changed it. I had a great view over the gardens to the sea which was peaceful, beautiful and quiet. The food and choice of food was amazing, I was really surprised at the different choices there were. The staff were fantastic…they were very friendly and very helpful. Location was also really good. There was also a really nice gesture from the hotel, being my birthday, I returned to my room to find a bottle of champagne!🥳

Fantastic cleaning and super nice food, lovely view and very helpful staff. Everyone seems happy to work there which is a huge plus in my opinion.

The gym could be better but still gets the job done for a vacation.

My recent stay at Riu Monica Hotel exceeded my expectations in several ways. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to nearby beach and restaurants. The staff were incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. The room itself was clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated with a nice view, The amenities were top-notch, including a beautiful pool and a delicious breakfast and dinner spread with plenty of options to choose from. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, making it easy to stay connected.

Nightly entertainment in the hotel was kind of passé, with outdated musical performances.

Probably the best breakfast we have had in any hotel! The coffee was HOT as was all the hot food including the hot plates. Even the toasters produced proper toast - first time!!

Truthfully can't think of anything! You did not ask any questions about "Staff" So for the record I would put them in the "Excellent " category!!

This is my third stay at the Monica, the staff are so friendly and attentive, everything is spotless and the rooms are huge with great walk in showers.

There was only one problem. Previously there were English TV channels other than the news channels, i.e. BBC1, 2 ITV, Ch4 and Ch 5. About 18 months ago the satellite went down and so all these channels came up No Signal. I live a short distance away and this problem can be solved and I don't know why the hotels are so slow to do something about it. When travelling alone some watchable TV s important.
