“Hotel & Spa Monarque Fuengirola Park : Good time, great value”

What a find! Excellent spot. Friendly environment. On site activities. Close to beach and the Mediterranean. Rooms are comfy, clean and have a refrigerator and balcony. Great spot for a vacation. Rates include 2 meals/day. Tennis courts and great grocery market nearby.

“VERY IMPRESSIVE”

Managed to get one nights half board for less than £33.00 - exceptional value

“Convenient location, five minutes to the beach. Local bars a short step away.”

First of all finding the hotel by car from the instructions given was not easy. We pulled up outside what we thought was the entrance only to find out later that the entrance was up a side road and around the corner not on the road specified. At reception we were greeted with a smile. Large secure car park opposite hotel. Very advantageous. Our room was basic but comfortable with sea view which was a bonus. Just a short walk to the beach. The towels were changed every day but I am not sure about the bedding. Toiletries were poor, bath gel, shampoo in sachets. No conditioner and soap was miniscule. My advice would be to buy your own. I always take with me a bath size soap which serves us well. Our booking constisted of bed and breakfast which was buffet style and plentiful. Full breakfast was served along with various meats etc., It was disappointing that whilst we were there one of the coffee machines broke but was not repaired during the whole of our stay which caused chaos in the full dining room. The toasters to my mind should be replaced with something more up-do-date and efficient. Far too slow. The cleanliness of the pool and surrounding area was second to none. They have two pools, one outside and one in, this one also had a disabled chair. For the price we paid we consider we had value for money., although still basic it was confortable.

“suitably located hotel near station, beach front and within easy reach of malaga”

Pleasantly surprised on our second visit to this hotel which has been upgraded to 4* since adding the indoor pool/spa and having a decent refurbishment. The staff were very sociable and spoke very good english and were very helpful and patient with reports of my television problem. they even had british channels BBC1,2 and BBC NI. We were on half board breakfast was ok with a varied choice of english/continental and the evening meal again lots of choices, the quality of some of the foods was typically spanish but that should not put anyone off, yuo have to be very picky to not find something s to satisfy your stomach. The new indoor spa pool was ideal even for non swimmers as it was only 1.2m deep but did not distract from the swimming needs. Torreblanca station is just some 400m up from the hotel with a train service every 30mns giving you access to all resorts from Fuengarola to Malaga and great airport connection.(25mns). I used the car hire firm around the corner to the hotel and got a fare deal from the proprieter Lorenzo. The 'entertainment ' in the evenings was a let down dancing, parrots and other birds mainly keyed to spanish holiday makers and there is a lot of them around sept/oct. Would def use this hotel again for a base.

“Good pick, not far from the beach nor the mail road.”

Hotel is fine, missing internet access from the bedrooms.. but wifi is available for free in the lobby which is good enough. Breakfast is ok if you like meat and hot veggies in the morning, but continental breakfast is not so nice. Fruit juice are very artificial. Overall the hotel is fine, swimming pool in enjoyable too.

“fair hotel and fair price”

not bad for the price for a 4 star hotel food was included. food was fine . service was also good. it is near the beach walking distance.so easy access to the beach. also the inside swimming pool was ok and look after well.

“hard beds”

Not a bad hotel. The beds were a little hard and the average age of the person staying there was about 80! We got a lot of evil looks being in our 30s! Nice location and nice staff.

“A Very Spanish Hotel”

I have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions now and have always found the accommodation to be more than suitable for my needs as a holiday maker. Rooms are clean, comfortable and receive a daily maid service delivered by a friendly housekeeping team. Breakfast is of a buffet style, providing a selection of cooked and continental items, again adequate offering. Evening meals are again a buffet style with a good selection of hot and cold items, however the is geared more to the tastes of its mainly Spanish guests. This is not a crtisim, as after all, the hotels client base is mainly Spanish. If you do not enjoy this type of food, and prefer a more British Selection, it is unlikely that you will enjoy the evening meals. The Hotel, does not appear to have a lot of British travellers, however, they are made welcome along with all the other guests. Personally, I like the hotel, as you are surrounded by the Spanish Hotel Team and a large number of Spanish guests, after all is that not why you go to Spain, to get a real feel for the Country and its people? The Hotel is situated away from the Town Centre, approx 20 min walk, but is only about 200 yards from the Beach and the Front Promenade. It is in a quiet location, so you should have no trouble getting to sleep either. Would I visit again? Yes.

“Very noisey”

Stayed in room 120 so noisey, room is situated above the delivery entrance,Rubbish collected at 1AM in the early hours.and staff shouting early in the morning

“Not a good holiday hotel!”

Good location and that 's the only good thing about it. Very noisy and unfriendly reception staff. The cleaners were very nice and a couple of the waiters had smiles on their faces. Breakfast was awful, couldn't drink coffee, tea or friuit juices. The fresh fruit was very good though. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!
