This is my 2nd visit to Playa Blanca which I booked through U Look U book. On their website it had 4 star or equivalent stated for the hotel Royal Monica. When I arrived the official rating for hotel was 3 star with a nice crack in front door window and a badly painted front entrance. Apart from myself and... More

My boyfriend and I went here as a last minute thing in august. We had a fantastic time. Playa Blanca is a great resort and the hotel was nice too. Its not 4 star however its a very enjoyable and comfortable 3 star. My boyfriend and I are quite picky too! However, we always managed to get a good meal,... More

My wife and I stayed at Calimera Monica for 2 nights, a German owned and run hotel. Firstly lets talk about the good stuff before going on to the "areas for improvement".

Royal Monica Playa Blanca 3 dirty stars hotel. Decent food, nice staff, very low standard, with an average clean room. You have to pay for safe, internet, water to take away, a pledge for a remote control for tv etc. True beach about 30 mins walk. British rating 4+ stars :)) by www.Hotels4u.com. :))

I went with my friend and was really worried after the reviews but the hotel was lovely and the food was really nice and a lot of it was freshly cooked in front of holidaymakers. Yes it was most definitely a German hotel and they have strange tastes in entertainment - and i do mean strange for example 'spit the... More

The hotel grounds are situated on the black lava rocks of Lanzarote, directly on the beach that is a couple of big rocks, but if you have bathing shoes you can get in. Once in the water is so nice and salty your skin gets a soft-peeling, and you float on the water. Lots of sports activities offered: bodystyling, aerobics,... More
