Nerja, Costa Del Sol

Star Rating: ****

With the beach just a stone’s throw away and a laidback pool scene on offer, it’s easy to see why the Hotel Riu Monica draws people back each year.

The Hotel Riu Monica has built up a loyal following of fans over the years, mostly thanks to its good-looking pool scene.

Facilities

This place has more than its location going for it – think a pool with a sea view, pretty terraces and a buffet restaurant that offers up a full English breakfast. And if that’s not enough, there are themed evenings in the restaurant which can be followed up by live music or shows in the lounge bar with a cocktail or two.

Restaurant & Bar

There’s loads of choice at the restaurant’s breakfast buffet, including the building blocks of a fry up. Come dinnertime, there’s an international spread and sizzling show-cooking stations. Most people head to the poolside snack bar* for lunch, which serves up light fare like toasties and pizza.

Pool

The pool is tucked in pretty manicured gardens with views out to sea. Sunloungers and parasols stripe the palm-speckled terrace. In winter, the heated pool inside is open, with space around the edge to sit back and relax.
