“Very clean & efficient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 days ago NEW

I would actually give this hotel 4.5 - 5 being reserved for our favourite hotel (in Gran Canaria) which others have yet to live up to! The Riu Monica is extremely clean and modern. My first impression was that it was a little 'sterile' and the welcome was very polite and efficient rather than warm. That's not a criticism, it's... More
