Monica Hotel

"The hotel is certainly convenient for everything Cambrils has to offer. Inevitably that means there is quite a lot of noise around ranging from traffic, through to a neighbouring bar celebrating Neil Diamond‘s greatest hits when I would’ve preferred to go to sleep. As a vegetarian, the dinner buffet was really poor. On the first night of three, there was a mushroom dish in a gelatinous gravy that was truly awful. I wasn’t the only person to leave it.On the second night there was a good aubergine dish which they replicated on the third night but added meat so disqualifying it and finished up having to fill up on pizza. There was no wine service and the table clearing was pretty slow. I got the feeling that it was understaffed. Breakfast on the other hand was pretty good except that there was a lack of continuity. Some really nice dates for two days then gone in favour of some prunes; oat milk for two or three days but not seen again. Ironically, security for entering the dining room was quite strict requiring production of the room card. I’m not sure why as it wouldn’t be somewhere I’d want to go to and if I did, I could’ve easily stepped out into the garden and entered through the garden door circumventing the check. A big negative for me was being charged €1.80 for two fingers of milk in a small milk jug they had loaned me for my kettle and coffee in the room. I was told that all hotels in Spain charge for the milk, I must’ve been very lucky over the last 50 years. I decided to retaliate by not buying a single drink in the hotel.I thought the hotel was clean, but it’s not somewhere I would go back to."

"We stayed for 12 nights at the Monica hotel recently. The staff are extremely welcoming, helpful and in everyway possible. We had a safe malfunction, late at night which was easily resolved first thing in the morning by the head of house keeping with a smile on her face and a reassuring word. We were late getting back from an excursion the restaurant was officially closed, however the staff still set up a table for us, the steak tasted soo good. However we will be eternally grateful to the member of staff who helped us during a medical emergency, her help with the language barrier between ourselves and the paramedicswas brilliant, the compassion she showed to both my husband and myself was so very much appreciated. Although we said our thank yous the following morning, sadly I do not have the young lady's name to thank her publicly. She and all the staff are a huge asset to the hotel. We loved the wee bar lass also always a cheery smile 😃. Thank you all"

"Had an amazing week at Monica Hotel. What really makes this hotel so special is the staff. Everyone of them were friendly, professional & attention to detail was exceptional. Delicious cocktails and a good choice of drinks & very reasonably priced. We had breakfast included, good choice and very nice. We had a couple of snacks from the bar & these were good. Great location, great holiday!"
