Just returned from a great week's holiday at the Riu Monica. Room had a lovely seaview. Staff could not have been more helpful. The food was exceptional, fish and meat cooked to order, plenty of fresh fruit and salads, the sweets were to die for, and a wide variety of choice available every day. The location was on the beach,... more

Have just returned from a one week stay at this hotel. This was our 1st visit to Spain and we were not disappointed with what was on offer at this hotel. The service was 1st class and nothing was too much trouble. The food was buffet style and the selection was great - if you couldn't find something you liked... more

Our trip to Nerja was for our first ever family holiday, we never had one when younger. Travelling on this occasion was my sister, mum and I.

My teenage daughter and I arrived a little travel weary, we were greeted with smiles and a glass of champagne each, our bags were taken to our rooms for us and the hotel was lovely. Carpeted halls and rooms, so the noise levels were kept down. Air con and lovely large balconies overlooking the sea and beach. A wide promenade... more

The hotel didn't seem to bad on arrival however the bunches of Thomas Cook groups soon became apparent. It seems like this hotel is everything you could wish for if you're a travel agent kind of person- we're not. It was mass tourism at it's best- family entertainment in the lounge- all you can eat buffet- chef speciality- meat loaf.... more

Overall this hotel is great with few shortfalls. The hotel is Y-shaped, with all rooms therefore facing partially or totally towards the sea (there are no rooms on the top side of the Y-shape, but windows on the opposite side of the rooms on those wings offering good views over the town and towards the mountains). The hotel has 9... more
