Jan 17, 2025Early January Holiday
We arrived at the hotel just before midnight after being delayed nearly 7 hours due to the terrible weather conditions at Manchester Airport. We were greeted warmly at reception with a glass of bubbly, and invited for food in the restaurant. Due to a mix up ( no fault of the hotel) we were moved next morning to a room next door to my sister and her husband, no trouble at all. The weather was lovely sunshine and blue skies. We were lucky that we found t shirts and light weight trousers/shorts were fine during the day, but in the evenings I felt comfortable with a light puffer jacket and scarf, as it was cooler and sometimes a bit windy.( it was the beginning of January after all ) Our hotel room was big and spacious, with a lovely view. The room was spotless, and the “Magic Fairy” that cleaned our room was wonderful. We visited Frigiliana, where we have stayed a few times before, during summer months, which is still as charming as ever, and enjoyed a coffee outside the church in the sunshine. The Balcony of Europe was a nice stroll away, meandering through the little side streets. We enjoyed a few tapas lunches. The bars and restaurants across the road from the hotel were very good and handy if you didn’t want to go too far . Our favourite in the evening was the Mexican , Andele Andele, we used to meet up with friends about 8 of us . I particularly liked the caffe and brandy at 3.50 euros, I thought that was really good value. Unfortunately my husband had to stay in Malaga hospital with health issues for four days which was stressful, but the hotel were very kind, asking if they could do anything to help. In fact on our last night the Hotel Manager came personally to him to see how he was, which we thought was a kind gesture. The hotel food was fantastic, both breakfast and evening meals, there was a very wide choice , and I defy anybody not to find something they liked. The hotel staff were really likeable, everybody smiled and acknowledged you, and looked like they were happy in their work. The entertainment at night was good too, and if you wanted to sit in the lobby there were chairs/sofas to lounge on. Thank you so much Hotel Rui Monica Nerja for a fantastic holiday. We really hope to return next year.. A little Gem, which I was so glad we found . Thank you to all the staff, a fabulous holiday to remember

Lovely stay
Friendly and helpful staff. Room clean and comfortable throughout our stay. Food was varied, plentiful, fresh and good quality. Good location by the sea, a promenade and a short stroll to the centre of the beautiful town of Nerja. I would recommend Riu Monica for your holiday visit.

Exceptionally well run hotel with fantastic staff
Our first stay at this hotel and we will definitely return. Its location is perfect - overlooking, and with direct access to, the promenade and beach, and just 10 minutes walk from the centre of Nerja. The hotel staff are uniformly efficient, helpful and charming, many of them have worked there for years and clearly take pride in their work. The quality of the food in the main (buffet) restaurant is excellent and constantly replenished, and we never had to wait for a table despite the hotel being full.

Another excellent stay!
This was our fifth visit to the RIU Monica and we spent three weeks over Christmas and New Yeat. The staff are universally friendly and welcoming, the food is of a very high standard at breakfast and dinner, and the hotel is spotlessly clean. The outside area is extensive and beautifully maintained and there were people on the beach and in the sea. Still using the thin, small brown towels which everyone complains about. One lift was broken for the entire three weeks and the others are in need of refurbishment. Only Sky News now when there used to be several UK channels. Wine in the restaurant amazingly good value , and drinks in the bar also reasonable. Car park at €8 per day good value since parking very difficult even in December. Overall a super hotel with wonderful staff and no doubt we will return.
