This property is beautifully located right on the beach. It is however a much older clientele. We felt out of place as two younger travelers.
I would choose an airbnb that is near the city center if you are younger. The people that were enjoying the property looked very happy and the place is spotless!

Overpriced

Overpriced, took an hour to check in because the booking wasn't on the system so if U book last minute as we did U have to wait. Food was awful. Definitely not a 4 star hotel , for €250 a night I expected a lot better. Delay to check in and the fact the pool closed at 6:30pm meant we had 25mins at the pool, was dirty, tissues floating in it. Pool bar shut at 6pm, guy was pretty rude when I enquired about getting a drink. Staff in the restaurant were pleasant.

Wonderful family weekend.

Wonderful hotel in the heart of Nerja and on the beach. Staff couldn’t have been nicer. Everyone a joy to deal with. Offered Cava on arrival and a complimentary shower/changing room as we didn’t leave the property until 6.00 pm.

Highly recommend. Spotless, lovely decor, fantastic setting.

We love RIU Monica and Nerja

We always enjoy our stay at RIU Monica. It is very easy to arrive by car, plenty of room in front of the hotel to arrive then find a parking spot or use hotel parking lot. I really enjoy room with a balcony, rooms and the hotel are very, very clean. Gym has a few bikes, rowing machine, eliptical, treadmill, and a few weight machines. There are so many great spaces inside and outside the hotel. Both breakfast and dinner are excellent, you can sit outside over the ocean (by heaters if needed). The restaurant staff is incredible, very professional. This is adults only hotel. Also, it is an easy hour drive to the Alhambra (drive up and spend a night at Aurea Washington Irving, also very easy to pull up and take your time to get in and staff will park your car for $25 a night, you can easily walk to Alhambra from hotel). We are usually in Nerja in January, weather is generally 60s and sunny, water temp is also around 60 so swimming is not too bad. We are in our mid 60s and are very active, this hotel really suits us well.

Very good week!

Vi har haft en riktigt bra vecka på detta fina hotell! Bra service och bra mat! Vi saknar teman för buffén någon gång för det blir lite tråkigt med nästan samma mat varje dag! Tapas restaurangen besökte vi två gånger och var väldigt nöjda med mat och service! Vi rekommendera detta senior hotell för oss som hellre blir överkörda av rullatorer än för barnvagnar! Vi är nöjda och kan nog komma tillbaka igen!

We liked the position of the hotel as it is out of the centre of Nerja but is less than a10 minute walk into the centre.
The hotel accommodation was very good and the bed was very comfortable.
There was entertainment each evening was usually of a good quality. Not all of it appealed to us but we enjoyed some good acts.
The food was very good in the main hotel restaurant and there was always something different in the buffet.
It was disappointing to have to pay for the use of the room safe as free use is a standard in most decent hotels nowadays.
It would be nice to have the option of some activity around the pool during the day as otherwise it is quite a boring atmosphere. We ended up hiring sunbeds on the beach most days which was much more entertaining.

A friendly hotel with very good food, in a nice area. It is in its own little area but very close to the centre. There are some very good cafes, bars and restaurants opposite the hotel as well as a couple of small supermarkets. It is right on the beach with some amazing sunsets and sunrises. Good wifi and tv, indoor and outdoor pool and extensive sitting areas. The food choices were extensive and all high quality with outdoor dining options.

This adults only hotel is lovely. It is right on the beach. I got a free upgrade to a room with a porch looking over the pool and the beach. Although I thought I was getting a buffet breakfast included, a buffet dinner was also included. For the most part the food was good but not great. I found that at supper if I chose main dishes that were in some sort of sauce or gravy they tended to be hot whereas other mains often got cold. I was disappointed that the extensive dessert section was loaded with cream, milk, ice cream… all impossible for me as I’m lactose intolerant. But there was also fruit available. I just wish they would have at least one pastry cake etc every night without a major dairy component. The indoor pool was a real highlight for me as the outdoor pool was way too cold in March. I would definitely stay in this hotel again off season. I’m guessing the entire Costa del sol is way too crowded in summer.

Staff were very friendly and super- helpful to my 93-year old mother. Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff have been there many years and recognised us as return guests. Mum loved the indoor pool, as the lifeguard lent her a 'noodle' to support her. All-in-all an excellent stay at a great hotel where the staff make the difference.

Wonderful high class hotel!

Absolutely wonderful place! Can highly recommend it - close proximity to beautiful beach, and fantastic staff, service and food! The day after we had checked out from the hotel we discovered we forgot our favourite private pillows - when we called Riu Monica they were absolutely amazing organising transportation from Nerja to Malaga so we were able to get our pillows back before flying back home! Can’t express how grateful we are to the Riu Monica staff who really did an enormous job helping us with this! But all through our stay at Riu Monica all of the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly - we will definitely come back soon!!!

I have enjoyed my stay at your Hotel at Nerja as I have also stayed at the companies hotels in Tenerife and Costa de sol and today being my birthday had a bottle of fizz brought up to room and thank you for that it’s been excellent service throughout my stay as today is my last day here as I depart tomorrow morning
When I arrived due to an unexpected matter I was unable to come on holiday with my female partner I explained the matter to the receptionist as it was too late to cancel that’s why I had decided to come alone and asked if there would be some kind of discount in the price due to half board offer is only for one person instead of two which I paid for but as I knew it was too late to cancel the booking from two people to one person and I didn’t mind staying with a room for two

Hotel Riu Monica

We absolutely loved Hotel Riu Monica. We were only there for 2 days (2 rooms- 5 adults) and it was beautiful. There is only about 22 parking spaces at the hotel so parking is hard to find (street or limited parking lots) however when we checked in, we were offered an employee's spot since it was close to his quitting time for the day. He was parked on the street so we parked and either walked or took a taxi for the rest of the stay. I would say that is great customer service! Pool was great, beach access was wonderful and plenty of food options at the hotel or nearby

We stay here as we were getting married in Nerja and we could not fault this hotel. We were greeted with a warm welcome at check in, loved the welcome drink. The staff are amazing, so friendly and could not do enough for you. Rooms are lovely. The selection of food at breakfast and dinner was outstanding, nothing I've ever seen before, caters for everyone. I'd highly recommend and we'll definitely be back next year.

Just as great as usual.

From start to finish we had an excellent service at the hotel. The staff were wonderful and helped my 93-year old mother everywhere. It is refreshing to see that the greater percentage of staff had been there many years ( we have been coming here in the last 10 years. That must say something about the running of the hotel. To the people who complained about no parking, we paid a deposit of 10 Euros for the key to the car park, and there was never more than 3 cars in there. No problems at all. We hope to return soon.

This is my 4th stay at the Riu Monica and it is the hotel I will always stay at in Nerja.
The location is great - a 5-10 minute walk from the Balcon de Europa and the Nerja centre.
It is right on torrecilla beach and the area is safe and convenient.
The rooms are spacious and well looked after.
The pool area is lovely and it's great to have a pool but also be so close to the beach.
The hotel is half-board and there are many options at breakfast and dinner time, especially as I am a vegetarian. There were plenty of vegetarian options.
What truly makes this hotel great though is the staff. All staff at the hotel are wonderful, they are professional but always make you feel welcome and make the stay enjoyable.

Extended our stay...but!

We extended our stay, having had a lovely time here. However, the restrictions on internet use became stupid, couldn't even access the Reuters website (forbidden). This is just one example of many websites that were inaccessible, WhatsApp worked, but Telegram didn't. I pointed this out to reception, who just shrugged their shoulders. This might seem like a small thing, but in these crazy times keeping in touch with family is even more essential.

Only complaint, in room fridge did not work, reported this but it wasn't repaired & wifi a bit restrictive (access to some 'normal' sites would not load?

Could be better

The hotel is well maintained and spotlessly clean but felt lacking in attention to details.
For exemple, only soaps were provided in bathroom, no shampoos or other necessities that I would expect in hotels of that standard. I was as well quite surprised to see that breakfast and dinner were served on à help yourself buffet basis while Covid 19 measures are still essential !

Overall very good and very clean

Overall it was very good. Great location next to the beach and walking distance to most things. We had breakfast and dinner included and the food was good. The hotel was very clean. The bed was a bit hard for my liking but the rooms were well appointed. The one negative thing is the parking. There is only a small parking area and you have to pay to park but not enough parking for a hotel of this size. We were there now in September and we found street parking but it would be a nightmare during a normal summer.

This is a beautiful hotel. It is situated in Torrecillo part of Nerja. Very close to all restaurants and shops.
The Balcon is a pleasant 5 minute walk away.
The rooms are very comfortable and the food was delicious. Plenty of choice at Breakfast and Dinner..
Entertainment is provided nightly ..... which is ok if you just want to chill in the hotel. Overall a fabulous hotel and probably deserves another Star !

Completely underwhelmed by this place—not at all what I’d expect for this price point. Proximity to the beach is a plus, but otherwise the hotel is showing its age and it felt like I was on an overpriced cruise—even got herded into the “restaurant” for bad buffet food. Staff ranged from downright rude/unhelpful to simply ok. I had to haggle with reception to have them bring up extra towels. Won’t be returning.

Proceed with caution!

I selected the Hotel Riu Monica for it’s location, price and meal plan (half board).
I’m giving this hotel a low rating due to the fact that I was turned down at the dining hall for not meeting a newly instituted dress code that I was never informed of.
The staff informed me that the prior week this dress code wasn’t in affect.
I was wearing khaki shorts, polo shirt and deck shoes, which was dressier than some of the other guests who were wearing jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes.
Therefore, I was not ever able to eat dinner at this hotel (which was part of the hotel fee).
The hotel offered NO other option or provision.
Since this is a beach hotel and the weather was very summer like, I didn’t pack anything but summer clothes and no long pants.
Attempted to shop for long pants, but failed to find anything in the area.

One rule they did NOT enforce was staking out pool chairs.
There are signs all over the place, however, people get up early in the morning to put markers on their chairs and then leave the chair unoccupied for the day.
No chance to find an available pool chair past 11:00am.

On a positive note, the hotel is immaculate.
The grounds are very well manicured and the rooms are super clean.

I would stay here again, but it would really be nice if the hotel would not change policies without notifying the guests so they can pack appropriately. Still have no idea what the hotel food is like... though I paid for it.

Hotel was modern and clean. Service was nice as well. However, it seems they accept a lot of people from group tours. I saw at least two buses dropping people in front of hotel. The dining space for breakfast and dinner was huge but fully packed with people. I do not recommend this hotel for young couples.

Awful service.

It included breakfast and dinner. Started with surly check-in man. Room had a safe but it was extra charge! Food was substandard- canned mushrooms, asparagus & more. Didnt taste good. I have been to Spain many times & food is very good but not here. It was like a cheap buffet. Never go there!

Nice, looks renovated, pool, at the beach

Careful when booking, it's not by room, but by person. I booked a double room, and when I got there... Surprise... Had to pay another 500$ when you book online, it doesn't tell you that the booking is for a single person! Try to fix that when you arrive sunday afternoon...

Nice hotel for senior travelers

Great location on the beach in Nerja, Spain. Multi-lingual staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Half-board food plan offered good variety of breakfast and dinner fare. Hotel was clean and efficiently managed. Clientele was senior- not the \"right place\" for young/active adults, but if you're a retired traveler, you'll fit right in. One significant complaint- our view room on the 7th floor (#721) had a strong/persistent sewer gas odor for our entire stay.

This is a really fine \"resort\" hotel.

Our stay was better than expected. the room was comfortable, the staff helpful, the location great (on the water) and the included meals much better than we imagined. Breakfast and dinner were both included in our rate and both were large buffets with nice choices. Well done!

Huone oli perus siisti hyvällä ilmastoinnilla. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja huoneesta oli hienot näkymät rannalle. Aamupala oli todella hyvä, valinnanvaraa oli jo liikaakin, kaikkea ei voinut maistaa. Samoin illallinen. Hyvä sijainti, lyhyt kävelymatka vanhaan kaupunkiin. Ja vuokra-auton sai hyvin parkkiin lähistölle.
