    You will go a long way to beat this hotel.

    From the first moment we arrived we were treated like valued guests. I had emailed prior to coming and asked for a high floor. We got exactly that. Top floor corner apartment sea view huge room. Lovely comfortable beds too. Cleaned to a high standard every day. The food was excellent. A wide choice every night. Bar prices are fine except they measure the whisky. Take your own. Waiters find you a table which is good. If I was to have a slight grumble it would be the bacon. Steamed, limp and generally fatty. Come on Monica. You can do better than this. Transfer from the airport was good. The wait of over an hour to get through immigration not so good. But this is about the Hotel Monica. Friendly staff. Clean first class hotel. Thank you.

    Nice hotel - not sure we’d return

    Lovely hotel - staff are amazing and cant do enough for you. Lovely huge room on the 6th floor, with a fabulous sea view and lovely comfortable beds. Thankfully it was very quiet as other quests were complaining about their noisy rooms! Food was pretty decent but a bit ‘samey’ To be honest we’ve had better at other RIU hotels. The exception being the Gala Dinner on Christmas evening - that was fabulous. Entertainment was fairly good but nothing special considering it was Christmas. I would recommend Il Sono though, they were magnificent. Altogether a decent Christmas break but would I return to the Monica - no.

    Outstanding

    This is an outstanding hotel which has a very relaxed atmosphere. We arrived at 10pm and were offered a welcoming drink and then told that a meal had been prepared and was available in the restaurant. This was totally unexpected and set the standard throughout our stay. Everyone of the staff we met was totally professional and delivered top customer service. Our room on the 6th floor was excellent - great views, comfortable bed and good shower. There was a very good choice of food at both Breakfast and Dinner which should cover all tastes. The option to dine in or outside (heatlamps) is a bonus. Plenty of bars and restaurants close by and a 10min walk to the Balcon. No issues whatsoever in recommending this hotel.
