MONEA Royal Monica

Good location

Building work outside my room started at 0730 noisy all week

Beautiful views , staff were very helpful, spacious facilities and absolutely spotless. Booked a sea view room and was given a fabulous family room . First time abroad alone but felt very safe and welcome , very well rested .

Food good for a 3 star , if you like fish then you have plenty choice Hotel its a bit dated and the odd bit of flaking paint , the pool isn't heated, apart from that it was a fabulous stay .

-The view and the garden were beautiful. The free sunbeds right on the beach (quite a lot) few steps from the room. (FYI: This beach is rocky and very dangerous to get into the water next to the hotel but there are beautiful sandy beaches not too far like Flamingo beach and the Playa Blanca). -The large suit with the big terrace with ocean view on the 2nd floor. - Great bathroom with huge bottle of shower gel/shampoo. -Beautiful promenade. Great for walkers with breathtaking views. -Large restaurant with terrace with all kind of tables for everyone. Soft pillows and peaceful nights. - Pleasant music at the reception area and great excursions organized by the receptionists (I can really recommend it. Special thanks to the receptionist Mr Jesus. )

- The BED: was incredible hard. It felt like I was lying on a stone bed and it really hurt my hip bones while trying to fall asleep. They need to do something with it. - The POOL-BAR: No vibe at all. The DRINKS: very poor, Mojito feels like a lemonade only. Lots of sugar in it, lack of alcohol. The whisky feels like they mixed it with water. The evening "entertainment": I have traveled a lot but it was the poorest I have ever seen in my entire life. Sorry to say but it lacked of every professionalism. The huge reflector lamps are just awful. All of them directed to the audience face which makes you feel immediately very discomforted. Such as the very bad quality laud-speaker boxes. -The EVENING SHOWS: The poor bar accommodate it. I even would not call it show at all. Don`t expect any dance or singing show. There is none. Neither a good music. The whole pool bar need decoration, good lighting in the evening and much much more to make it really a pool bar in order to entertain the people. Mostly elderly people are in the hotel but it should not mean that they can not get a lovely show with good music and fun even if it not a luxurious hotel. The only good thing at the pool bar was the great view from it to the ocean and the other islands. The pool bar guys are great but the drinks are not. - The whole hotel needs a bit of love, some flowers at the reception area to make you feel welcome. - The bad smell of the elevator. (It really needs a refurbishment, the rubber flooring of it is full of with humps.) - The towels smell fish! Even a freshest ones. Especially the large bath towels. Not a pleasant feel to use it after taking a shower

Food was terrible pork and fish almost everyday no vegetables to go with meals or gravy
