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!

Our first time at the Riu Monica, we were not disappointed, very friendly staff who were all keen to help. Excellent location alongside the beach, a short stroll into the main old town of Nerja. Good food options with buffet breakfast and dinner. Drinks very reasonably priced.

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.

Everything was great. The buffets fantastic, the gym & pool area great, the room was spacious. Entertainment was fun. We did the a la carte menu one night. It was fine but actually the buffet is better. But what really stands out is the staff. Friendly, helpful.... can not say enough about it. Great stay and would recommend.

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.

Very friendly staff and clean rooms. The house keeping staff were excellent and always say hello when passing in the halls. However no real service around the pool and you have to get up early to secure a lounger. Beds on the beach which don’t belong to the hotel are never available.

Staff mostly excellent except for two evening staff near the coffee machine who rushed too quickly to clear the tables even before the meal was finished and broke the atmosphere among new friends. Everyone else was excellent.

Adults only, half board based around buffets for breakfast and dinner. I have travelled extensively and eaten at many buffets - yes, I have had better occasionally but this Hotel's offering beats most established chains hands-down. Quality and choice - superb. Not crowded or crushed. Go for it
