Just got back from our stay at the Riu Monica. It proved to be just like many of the other reviews stated. It was top class. The rooms were large and spotless. We had a great sea view (although it was only classed as a side view!) and all through the hotel you really couldnt fault it for cleanliness. The... more

I can only echo the previous review in that it was an excellent hotel. The staff were excellent too most of whom are long-serving, hardworking and very friendly. I travelled with my mother and spent a week there. We had a very friendly welcome on arrival with a glass of sparkling wine which was a nice touch. The rooms were... more

Monica…maravillosa! NOTICE: This is not a paid endorsement—although at times it may sound like it. Actually, we don’t need any incentive whatsoever for the words of praise we have for this hotel. For quite some time we’d been thinking about shortening the long winter of Austria with a stay in the sunny south—which translated to “Spain” for us. After reading... more

Nice hotel, without being outstanding. Rooms standard 3 star (although could do with some refurbishment, and tea/coffee making facilities. Food quite good for a buffet, plenty of fish and meat dishes, but not a particularly relaxing dining experience with guests and waiters walking, running about all the time. A full service restaurant as an option would be good. Breakfast is... more

This was the first time I have been to a Riu hotel and based on the past reviews maybe I was expecting too much. Overall initial impression when arriving was slightly dissapointing. The reception area is OK but nothing exceptional. Booking in process was quick and the glass of sparkling wine while you waited was a nice touch. The rooms... more

I am puzzled by the number of high marks given to this hotel. My wife and I have been fortunate to stay in three other Riu hotels; two in Grand Canaria and one in Tenerife. We had found them to be exceptionally good and had chosen the Monica expecting a similar standard, but were disappointed. We considered it to be... more

This is a lovely friendly hotel right on the beach and all rooms have sea view; the staff are always cheerful despite having to deal with the miserable, ignorant German guests. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the food is excellent,( although the vegetarian section has a lot to be desired) and the entertainment is good. The resort is... more

Had an excellent stay at Riu Monica for New Year 2010. Hotel very good and happy to recommend for a good winter break. Staff worked hard and were very friendly. Rooms perhaps getting ready to be updated- but very comfortable. Good location. Food was very good. Entertainment wasn't brilliant- although Ricky (surname?) was excellent- good fun, very professional and very... more

Stayed for a three nights just before christmas 2009 and can say this hotel is very good in all aspects. The food, the rooms, the staff all great but it's got to be one of the most boring place's i've stayed at, this time of year with "entertainment" finishing around 9.30 pm, luckily there are good bars across the road... more

Just got back from Nerja yesterday from a Christmas Break which covered Christmas day through to New Years day at this hotel. What can I say - a perfect break. The hotel exceeded my expectations in both food,hygiene standards and staff. Upon our welcome we were greeted by a lovely glass of cava - a welcome relief after an about... more
