I have just returned from a week's holiday with my husband and another couple at the Riu Monica. We all agree that it was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and we have stayed in many, including 5 star. The hotel is in a great position right on the seafront and has lovely gardens and areas around... More

This hotel was on the beach, 20 minite walk from centre. there were very few chidren, so around the pool was very quiet. Very, very clean public area also the rooms which I found to be larger than usual. Food choice was marvoulas, breakfast and dinner.Would definatley return one day. More

Once again went with Thomson Holidays for a fortnight in early May. Couldn't fault staff or hotel and the weather was fantastic. Visited the Donkey Sanctuary twice which is free and a "must do" on any visit to Nerja. Jack and Ozzie, the baby donkeys were really cute. The only downside was Malaga airport which resembled an ant heap and... More

T'here's not much more to add to the existing positive reviews of the Monica. Great attention to cleanliness by staff and they are very polite and friendly, which makes so much difference. My only criticism is that the food choices can be a bit limited and repetitive. I am a vegetarian and I did find the offerings a bit disappointing... More

We returned to the Riu this April after 5 years and were not disappointed. It is clean and comfortable the staff are excellent and very helpful from Receptionists to Cleaners to Restaurant staff - many are still there 5 years on. The rooms are a little dated (TVs etc - no kettles) but they have comfortable beds excellent showers and... More

This is our second visit to a Rui hotel and our experiences have both been very positive. This is not a huge hotel but it is of a high standard, food was good, hotel was kept very clean, our room was on the 6th floor so the views were spectacular.Our visit was early in the season so not too sure...

Great Location , mediocre food and rather tired decor and bedrooms. We were there on a Thomson Gold vacation after Easter and enjoyed our stay. However, our previous experience of a Thomson Gold holiday at the Gran Sol Hotel in Cala Bona , Majorca was streets better. The front desk and bar staff were helpful and friendly but the dining...

Stayed here for two weeks via the tour company Thomson. The location is superb with the beach behind the hotel and various bars and restaurants opposite the entrance of the hotel. There are two small supermarkets across the road (there is also a bigger one about 10 mins walk away). The town centre and the Balcon de Europa are about... More

Our stay was for four weeks Jan / Feb 2012. The Hotel was very clean thoughout and all of the staff were exceptional. The design of the hotel is such that most, if not all rooms have at least a partial sea view. A table is allocated for the evening meal for the duration of your stay, and two sittings... More
