Hotel Monarque Torreblanca 

I have just returned from a two week, all inclusive holiday with five members of family. On our second week, another six friends joined us as we were celebrating my Dad’s 80th Birthday. This was my first time to try all inclusive. I did not know what to expect food wise, nor drinks. I expected I would want to go out and about quite a bit… But there was no need! How wrong was I? Food was excellent! Breakfast, lunch and dinner was varied, tasty, and a big variety of food from different countries. You could never get bored of whatever was being served. There is something for everyone. Staff were professional, cheerful and very hard working. Pool bar snacks were very tasty too. Drinks were much better than I expected. San Miguel, cava and wine went down very well with our group. Plus a new fave ‘Sarango’, and good cocktails too. Again, staff at the pool bar and main bar worked very very hard to keep all guests happy. And always with a smile on their faces. The entertainment lady was lovely too, I enjoyed the daily water aerobics and some of the evening shows were very good. We also enjoyed sitting out on the terrace of an evening, if we didn’t fancy watching a show. Hotel looks very traditional, but nothing wrong with that. The public areas are spotless. The rooms are perfect and cleaned daily. Again, these cleaners deserve a medal for their hard work. Location is ideal. A stone throw from the beach, and next door to the train station, which we used at ease on three occasions. Loved the pools. The top one is a bit of fun, the bottom one is quieter and tranquil. Plus, there is a very big grassed area with beds. Never short of a bed as you have so many options. I cannot think of any downsides for our holiday. There were 11 of us, and everyone said they would definitely return if they were to holiday in this area again. Well done to everyone 👏🏼💐 We did eat out on a couple of occasions as we wanted something special for Dad’s Birthday. Can highly recommend Cassa Rustica in Fuengirola and Pizzeria Primavera in Los Boliches. Also, there some lovely walks in the surrounding areas. We will return again at some point 😊
