Jan 04, 2026Great place to stay for a older generation
A high quality hotel with excellent staff who accommodate all your needs. The food is of a high standard & everyone is friendly. This is an adults only hotel so be aware the average age is 65 plus.

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.

Dec 26, 2025Nice 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.
