Very good week!
Vi har haft en riktigt bra vecka på detta fina hotell! Bra service och bra mat! Vi saknar teman för buffén någon gång för det blir lite tråkigt med nästan samma mat varje dag! Tapas restaurangen besökte vi två gånger och var väldigt nöjda med mat och service! Vi rekommendera detta senior hotell för oss som hellre blir överkörda av rullatorer än för barnvagnar! Vi är nöjda och kan nog komma tillbaka igen!

Our first time at the Riu Monica, we were not disappointed, very friendly staff who were all keen to help.
Excellent location alongside the beach, a short stroll into the main old town of Nerja.
Good food options with buffet breakfast and dinner.
Drinks very reasonably priced.

Staff mostly excellent except for two evening staff near the coffee machine who rushed too quickly to clear the tables even before the meal was finished and broke the atmosphere among new friends. Everyone else was excellent.

Great stay
Everything was great. The buffets fantastic, the gym & pool area great, the room was spacious. Entertainment was fun.
We did the a la carte menu one night. It was fine but actually the buffet is better.
But what really stands out is the staff. Friendly, helpful.... can not say enough about it.
Great stay and would recommend.

3 night stay in late November
A friendly hotel with very good food, in a nice area. It is in its own little area but very close to the centre. There are some very good cafes, bars and restaurants opposite the hotel as well as a couple of small supermarkets. It is right on the beach with some amazing sunsets and sunrises. Good wifi and tv, indoor and outdoor pool and extensive sitting areas. The food choices were extensive and all high quality with outdoor dining options.

Best in Nerja
Very friendly staff and clean rooms. The house keeping staff were excellent and always say hello when passing in the halls.
However no real service around the pool and you have to get up early to secure a lounger.
Beds on the beach which don’t belong to the hotel are never available.

Lovely staff who changed my room according to my preferences and gave me one of the best ocean views in the complex. Very relaxing atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent amenities. It made life so much easier to have breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and the quality/variety of food was excellent!

This adults only hotel is lovely. It is right on the beach. I got a free upgrade to a room with a porch looking over the pool and the beach. Although I thought I was getting a buffet breakfast included, a buffet dinner was also included. For the most part the food was good but not great. I found that at supper if I chose main dishes that were in some sort of sauce or gravy they tended to be hot whereas other mains often got cold. I was disappointed that the extensive dessert section was loaded with cream, milk, ice cream… all impossible for me as I’m lactose intolerant. But there was also fruit available. I just wish they would have at least one pastry cake etc every night without a major dairy component. The indoor pool was a real highlight for me as the outdoor pool was way too cold in March. I would definitely stay in this hotel again off season. I’m guessing the entire Costa del sol is way too crowded in summer.
