Monarque Torreblanca

This was the best holiday so far. Food and staff are great and the place is spotless. This is definitely a adult holiday. One thing wrong entertainment but was only in the hotel one night. Already going back 😉

On first impression hotel doesn't look much. Once inside reception area nice...seating, restaurant and bar/coffee shop just down from reception. Got to our room and wow it was brilliant. Nice view. 2 massive wardrobes. Separate door from bedroom to bathroom. Beds and furniture all lovely. Didn't use aircon as room and balcony in the shade once we got back to room at teatime. Nice breeze. Food...well the first couple of days I myself was disappointed as there didn't seem a great deal of choice for a 4star hotel compared to what I've had before. My sister was fine and enjoyed the food, maybe cuz she eats a lot of fish. Desserts weren't up to much most days. Was happy once the strawberries and chocolate fountain came out for 3 days of our stay. After day 2 the food got better for me not sure if the chief had changed but the meat choices got better. Bread was always lovely and fresh. Plenty of fresh salad and fruit every meal time. Drinks were good, no complaints there. Staff all seemed friendly enough. I do find that a lot of people were returning guests from different parts of the world. Not many English and more elderly. 🙈 Entertainment was brilliant but it was something to watch. Hill is a bit steep if your not fit. Takes your breath away to reach the hotel if you go for a walk on the seafront and down to shops/ restaurants. Not much for kiddies to do in hotel. Little Park but sun on it all day. Then it's shut off at 6 as they close the pool areas off. Not a hotel for the young at heart.. All in all a lovely week, great weather. Fab room. Would I return 🤔 no sorry well not till I'm in my 80s 🤣🤣

First time staying here but booked again for next year , I think that says it all. Location - 2nd. Line , so a 5 minute walk to the beach or a 2 minute walk to the train station if you fancy a 3 minute ride to the nicer Los Boliches. Rooms - Ours was massive with a lovely sea view balcony. But no kettle was our only negative. Food - always a choice and one of the quietest restaurants ever, no complaints here. Pools - plenty of space, lots of beds, and no need to get up early to get one , bonus ! Entertainment - no idea what it was like because we were never in on an evening. Drinks - pricey if you're on half board , hence why we are coming back all inclusive. All in all, it is a great value hotel that we are returning to next year, and we rarely do that.

We have stayed here several times before. Large rooms modern and very clean, fridge and safe are no extra charge. Everything regarding the room was good, the cleaning was excellent. The grounds/ gardens are well maintained and sunbeds are well spaced out, we never had a problem getting a sun bed even after 11.00am. What let's the hotel down is the food. At every meal time, much of the food was not hot enough, sometimes it was barely warm. The hotel may state the food temperature is checked, but we never saw that happen and some of the food was cold or barely warm during every meal time. We found the lunch better than the evening meal and it is good that lunch and evening meal can be interchangeable. There is now free water available in the restaurant to those guests on half board, this is very welcome. However, since our last visit, fresh cheese was not served at lunch or dinner except on one day. Cheese in oil was available, but no fresh cheese, that was disappointing. Good sized portions of fish and meat are served and the paella at lunch time was very good. Saturday evenings served up the worst offerings for both quality and choice of food, it was dire on both occasions. Staff are helpful on reception. Great location for the train station, ask about the multi trip ticket and where to buy it, it's exceptional value. Good value hotel, old, but rooms have been refurbished, pity some aspects regarding food let's it down.
