Monarque Torreblanca

"We stayed here for 3 days to celebrate my other half's birthday. 1st day arriving,the weather was terrible with rain and lightning 🌩 but this didnt damper the spirit of the staff. They went full on with halloween Dec's and made all the kids/guests get into the spirit. The rooms were spotless clean and the smell of the fresh laundry was so refreshing. Food was very nice but they didnt have pizzas which was abit disappointing hence why I am giving it 4 stars. I cannot find much faults with this hotel. Location is brilliant as its next door to a train station..the beach is a short walk down the hill. I need to mention the walk back up the hill can be tough for elderly/people with buggys. Would I stay here again....yes 100%."

"Position is good: near beach, near light train station, near supermarket. Food is ok: large variety, in generally tasty, but repetitive. I would loved to be surprised by good food but... no chance. Service was so-so. I had smalls problem with staff like: I paid for a glass of wine but in one night I do not receive it, I had to ask two time to receive clean towels. A lot of noise outside the hotel!! I liked that the room is big, the elevator work, the hot water was available. My impression is that the hotel was for old people, so if are over 50 years you will be like home in that hotel. If you are 25, go on other place."

"I have just returned from a two week, all inclusive holiday with five members of family. On our second week, another six friends joined us as we were celebrating my Dad’s 80th Birthday. This was my first time to try all inclusive. I did not know what to expect food wise, nor drinks. I expected I would want to go out and about quite a bit… But there was no need! How wrong was I? Food was excellent! Breakfast, lunch and dinner was varied, tasty, and a big variety of food from different countries. You could never get bored of whatever was being served. There is something for everyone. Staff were professional, cheerful and very hard working. Pool bar snacks were very tasty too. Drinks were much better than I expected. San Miguel, cava and wine went down very well with our group. Plus a new fave ‘Sarango’, and good cocktails too. Again, staff at the pool bar and main bar worked very very hard to keep all guests happy. And always with a smile on their faces. The entertainment lady was lovely too, I enjoyed the daily water aerobics and some of the evening shows were very good. We also enjoyed sitting out on the terrace of an evening, if we didn’t fancy watching a show. Hotel looks very traditional, but nothing wrong with that. The public areas are spotless. The rooms are perfect and cleaned daily. Again, these cleaners deserve a medal for their hard work. Location is ideal. A stone throw from the beach, and next door to the train station, which we used at ease on three occasions. Loved the pools. The top one is a bit of fun, the bottom one is quieter and tranquil. Plus, there is a very big grassed area with beds. Never short of a bed as you have so many options. I cannot think of any downsides for our holiday. There were 11 of us, and everyone said they would definitely return if they were to holiday in this area again. Well done to everyone 👏🏼💐 We did eat out on a couple of occasions as we wanted something special for Dad’s Birthday. Can highly recommend Cassa Rustica in Fuengirola and Pizzeria Primavera in Los Boliches. Also, there some lovely walks in the surrounding areas. We will return again at some point 😊"
