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.

Lovely staff who changed my room according to my preferences and gave me one of the best ocean views in the complex. Very relaxing atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent amenities. It made life so much easier to have breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and the quality/variety of food was excellent!

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!

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.

Overall the hotel is very nice, the buffet was good with several options. The room A/C was blowing cold air, the problem was that the fan did not have enough power to adequately cool the room.
