After spending a week here in the summer three years ago; myself, partner and five year old decided to revisit the Monica for a week of winter sun during the half term break. Sadly, this time our holiday wasn’t as good. Firstly, as other recent reviews have stated, there are a number of older guests who will very rudely glare... More

We stayed in the Monica for the first week of Feb. The staff were mostly very helpful and polite, and the place was extremely clean.

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

We spent two weeks at The Riu Monica in January having arranged an excellent last minute deal with Thompsons. It was one of the best hotels for the money we have stayed in. Excellent quiet room with views, wonderful food and obliging staff. The facilities were very good and there was some evening entertainment. The reception desk arranged tickets for... More
