On a month-log trip to Spain, we spent two nights at the Hotel Riu Monica to take a break at the…read morebeach in Nerja. It's a big hotel on the beach that caters to foreign tourists. Breakfast and dinner buffets were included. Our room on the top floor, booked through an aggregator, was huge and included a large balcony. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We loved beautiful Nerja and the Monica was a great place to recharge our batteries for a couple of days,

It was a last minute decision to come here as we had a free week. We were not disappointed in our…read morechoice. The rooms are spacious and I believe most of them have at least partial sea view. We had half board and the breakfast and dinner buffets were both really good. Lots of selection and everything was fresh. At dinner there was always a roast of the day, lots of vegetarian or vegan options, salads.... No complaints at all. There is a 'proper' restaurant. We did go. Appetizers are a buffet, then your choice of three main courses, and dessert is several small things brought to your table. It was fine. Nothing wrong with it but the buffet is so good that I think if we were here again, we would not bother with the restaurant and just do the buffet. The pool area was nice and at least at this time of year, there was no problem getting a sun bed. The entertainment was well.... entertaining.. not the best bands you will see but everyone was singing a long and having a great time. I think our favorite thing about this hotel was the staff. Front desk, restaurant, bar, cleaning staff.... All of them were so friendly, always said hello, everyone was helpful. The staff really stood out for me. We would come back here in a minute with no hesitation and would highly recommend.

How has no one reviewed this??? A boutique hotel of 7 rooms (they call 5 of them Suites as they…read moreface the Mediterranean ) and this gorgeous spot has a fantastic bar, restaurant, outdoor small pool and a great staff. They pride themselves on their anonymity (no Facebook, Insta or TripA) and request you call them to book. We stayed at the hostel next door but will absolutely stay here next summer. They sell out rapidly as room rates Are only $200 eu. I don't work for them. But work in the hotel industry and feel a little Kindred spirit with this lovely spot. Nerja is for those that want a more authentic Spain/ Mediterranean experience. Not a heavy tourist spot. If you need fish and chips or burgers for dinner: Go elsewhere!

We stayed here for a few days when traveling with our 6 months old baby to our friend's wedding…read morewhich was in Maro. We had a small friend group that booked a few rooms. I was skeptical after reading some negative reviews but decided to give it a chance and I am so glad we did! We had a seaview room for such an affordable price! Not only did they surprise me with a bottle of champagne to our room on my birthday, but every aspect from the stay to the amenities to the food was lovely. PROS: -really good and affordable breakfast... they had fresh churros, made omelettes to order and were griddling pancakes fresh with a nice selection of breads, pastries, cheeses, meats, topping, juices, fresh fruit, etc -genuinely kind and helpful front desk staff -cute little library -surprisingly good and affordable lunch (we ate there a few times) -nice to sit in a shaded area and have cocktails with a view of the beach -beach front property -10 to 15 minutes walk to the center -blocks away to markets for snacks and water -parking on site for 15 euro a day (though it is definitely not made for large vehicles or the faint of heart to get down there!) -great value for the price (we loved waking up to the colors of the sunrise and taking naps to the sound of the sea) -baby friendly, they had a little cot for us in the room -2 pool options... one is very accessible in the main hotel and the other has rooftop views -super cool underground connection between the two buildings CONS: -as other reviewers have said, there is no iron in the rooms or onsite that you can borrow... this is something they should definitely remedy as it's really the only big issue we had (they did offer laundry services but it cost us about 16 euros to iron one dress, one shirt and one pair of pants for the wedding) -not really a con BUT I do think it would be nice if they had waiters at the pool to bring drinks instead of having to go to the bar -would have preferred blankets instead of thing sheets in the rooms but the AC was not very strong so I see why they don't put blankets ha

I loved this hotel in Nerja. We drove by it and saw that it was right on the beach but had…read morereservations in Grenada that night. After driving 1.5 hours to Grenada we couldn't get to our hotel bc of Holy Week so we turned around and went back to Nerja. We backtracked and found the hotel on the beach we saw earlier. I was surprised to find the rate was only 85 euro for a sea view room that included breakfast too! So we booked it. The room was clean, beds comfy, and the balcony overlooked the ocean. We kept the sliding glass door opened all night to hear the sound of the waves. It was a perfect ending to an exhausting trip. They offer parking for a fee but we were lucky enough to find street parking. The breakfast was standard hotel buffet style - nothing fancy but a generous selection including eggs, different breads for toasting, coffee, tea, and juices. They also have a restaurant onsite or you can take an easy beautiful stroll on the beach boardwalk where you will find several other dining options. The staff was very friendly and the grounds were very well kept. They also offer free wifi that can be accessed outside too. I would def stay here again and highly recommend Nerja if you are traveling in Spain.

Rooms are OK. Our two bedroom apt. had four singles, instead of at least a queen or king. Very…read moremuch a kid resort. Lots of small children. The place is small, so there isn't much to do. Beach is rocky, so its not that enjoyable to walk or play in the beach. The hotel is far enough from Nerja that you'll want to drive, but there isn't parking. So cabs or bus. The hotel restaurant has only a pretty medicre buffet. Huge variety, but low quality. Juice tastes like from a can. Coffee all comes from a machine. There's no real espresso machine anywhere at the resort. Room was clean, no bugs. But the fridge didn't stay cold, so we lost the food we bought. After that, just used it to keep waters cool. Staff are not very hospitable, especially considering the resort is off the beaten path. Folks working at thebgas stations were more friendly. If we go back to Costa del Sol, we'll definitely stay somewhere else.

PROS: -Large clean room and bathroom. -Roof top pool and jacuzzi! -Mini fridge -Location! Location! Location! Right on the touristy and overrated Balcony of Europe. Quick walk to the beach. Restaurants and shops everywhere. -Friendly staff. -Good standard Spanish continental breakfast. -Beach towels, umbrellas, and other beach gear can be borrowed for free. -Great value for only €163 for 2 nights! CONS: -None! Not sure if I'll ever return to Nerja, but if you ever plan on visiting this the best place to stay.

Originally i wanted to book something with a huge pool but figured why spend the money if it's too cold to swim. So i booked here. They have a pool but really nice and central. The place is really nice! The rooms are big with a desk for work geeks like us. The shower is awesome! and the breakfast is really good. work paying a few more to include that so you don't have to run out and grab something to eat. This hotel was my second choice and i'm glad i went with it over the one with a bigger pool. I think this hotel is better. The pool... yea i went in and yea it was COLD! But no one ever called me a chicken. I swam!

It's located in the Centre of Nerja, it's only at 250 meters to the beach and a 5 minutes' walk to the Balcon of Europe. It's in a quiet area surrounded by parking spaces. Close to the hotel we can find many restaurants, cafes, tapas bars and one of the most popular leisure area along the Costal del Sol, Tuttifrutti square. We also have a brand new breakfast cafeteria at MB Boutique Hotel where you can enjoy a fantastic continental breakfast between 7:30am to 11:30am, giving you a bit of time to sleep in. Mmmm, yummy!
