Friendly and courteous staff. Our room was clean and I loved the design of the closet that opened from both the hallway and from inside the bathroom. The wooden clothes hamper is also a very nice feature that I've not seen in other hotels. The only negative was a mildew/chlorine smell (possibly from the pool on the same floor?). Very comfortable bed. The breakfast selection was wonderful and included plenty of Indian, Asian, and continental choices; excellent coffee and attentive staff.

Grounds are phenominal. I can honestly say that this hotel is over-staffed waiting to serve you immediately. I think employees outnumber guests. Never seen that before. You call and they show up instantly. Very responsive. Three restaurants with one right on the beach. Food is excellent but extremely expensive. Expect to pay more for food then for your room. The rooms are tired and need updating. The pillows are rock solid hard, just horrible. Bring your own pillows. If you ask hotel to call you...

We had a very nice stay at Hotel Montecarlo. The manager, Vishnu, made sure that we had everything we needed. We were upgraded to the presidential suite, which was very spacious. A large sitting room contained a couch and two love seats and a tv and refrigerator. The bedroom also included a tv and small table with two chairs. The bathroom was spacious with both a shower and tub. The pool was very nice in the garden outside. We were taken care of at this hotel and would happily return.
