stayed at monterey mar 08




rooms are amazing, depending on what birth room u have booked obviously depends on size of rooms,


we had 2 singles in livin room, 2 singles in 1 bedroom and a double in other room which also had en suite and tv,




livin room, ok size plasma tv with bbc1, itv1, c4, sky 1 euro sport, and most prem football matches that was on.




kitchen very nice, dishwasher large fridge, + u got extras included like diswasher tablets, and other cleaning stuff, and a food welcome pack in fridge.




balcony massive, and if u stay in the monterey royal, (next door) u get jacuzzi on balcony also,




complex resturant, very nice, complex supermarket is small but stocked well,




staff very nice all over hotel,




very very clean,




beach 10 min walk 5euro taxi


bars 8 min walk 5 euro taxi




main night life in las americas on veronicas strip, 15/20 min walk 10 euro taxi max




but as on a steep hill, it will take breath away when u walk back up so cab back recommended.




water park 8 min walk or 5 euro cab.




hope this helps, Chris

Just stayed at Club la costa over new year. We were in a three bedroom penthouse, which unfortunately as yet has not been refurbished so the apartment was quite tired. Disappointing since we thought we were staying in Monteray Royale (the part with the hot tubs). However this aside the apartment was very comfortable and the balcony was huge, infact you have two huge balcony's but we never used the top one.

The location of the apartments is slightly out of town, however a 40 minute walk takes you to the Mare Nostrum resort where the best restaurants and shopping can be found. Or alternatively this takes 5-10 minutes in a taxi.

We hired a car since we had small children and wanted to go to the main beach near the Mare Nostrum. This is by far the best beach and well worth the extra distance.

My only real complaint with this resort was the four lifts we needed to use to get to our apartments and the noise from the cleaners either talking very loudly or dragging their noisy trolleys, normally before 08.30 each day. On a positive note the apartments are good, the pool is nice, the views are fantastic, the pool bar is excellant as is the food. We never did dine in the restaurant but it looked good.

I have stayed in Club La Costa @ Monterey twice this year (May & November) both times in one of the 2 bed apartments and I have to say I really like it here.

Yes, they could probably do with a freshen up, yes they are up the hill, and yes there isn't much entertainment up there but if you like a huge balcony that you can sunbathe on all day alongside the peace and quite of being out of the centre of town then this is the place to go. There are the most amazing views from the resort.

We hired a car which wasn't expensive and was a nightmare to get up that hill at first but we soon learned how to rev and get up the hill :-)

We have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times and have never had a problem. Even though it's all that is up the hill it's not too expensive.

Only ever walked down the hill which is only about 10 mins (Max) from the San Eugenio shopping centre.

Inside the 2 bedroms are fine, one ensuite with a double bed and the other twin bedded. Full kitchen with everything you would need to make dinner when you are away and a comfy living area with 2 big sofas and a dining table set for 6.

All in all a good place to be.

we joined club la costa in 2006 and have had 3 holidays with them since then. The first being our taster week at the monterey royale in a 3 bedroomed penthouse suite. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. This is the sort of holiday only the rich can afford absolutely fabulous. The next 2 were at the monterey in a 2 bedroomed still really good and we will be going again next year.
