Having stayed at a lot of Rius I would say this is the least attractive as it's not the Disney style more recent type of building and the decor is a little dated and tired. That said the food was great and the position re town and beach was perfect. Parking is not good so if you dont need a... More

What can you say that hasn't already been said, my husband and I stayed here on the 12th December for our 30th wedding anniversary and we will certainly be returning. The food was excellent the people that we met who were all returning guests says it all. We were given a lovely bottle of bubbly as a gift and when... More

We returned to the Monica with Thomson holidays for a two week vacation. Weather was excellent as well the hotel. The only downside was the return transfer which got us to Malaga airport much too early and meant we missed a proper breakfast. More

The hotel was very good and set up this time of the year for the more mature guests, a minor complaint was... More

Just returned from our first visit to the lovely Riu Monica Hotel in Nerja. On arrival we were welcomed by staff and given a glass of champagne while checking in, which we thought was a nice touch. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. We were very pleased with our lovely room, very spacious and comfortable and with a great... More

Our second visit to the Monica, first since the refurb. a year or two ago. Just as good as remembered. The staff are friendly and professional (it's a big hotel though, so don't necessarily expect first-name terms: they can't remember everyone!). Rooms are decent, genuine 4 star size, and decently maintained, although we were surprised to find an old-fashioned cathode... More
