Grupotel Montecarlo

A nice, friendly hotel with great staff. Decent sized pool that never got overcrowded. Good location. Would be happy to stay there again. There weren't many children staying at the hotel which was a plus point for us.

This hotel is actually quite good - it suits the purpose but isn't the kind of hotel where you hang out during the day - head for the beach cos' it's not far away. The hotel is located one street away from the main boogie street but it's still a nice quiet location with on street parking available. The pool and pool bar are good too - no screaming kids or drunk British families / stag parties etc. The reception staff are friendly and speak good english. The hotel itself is fresh looking, well maintained, clean and the rooms are air conditioned and they all have balconies. It's a grown ups hotel - which is quite refreshing - no idiot Brits partying all night etc. It's not a big deal but the food served is OK quality but just plain weird - breakfast included garlic mushrooms & courgettes etc. The dinner offerings were pretty weird too - I think the Spanish are unsure of what British & Germans eat - the combinations are a bit of a stab in the dark! The majority of guests are German and they're not a bad lot - v civilised with lots of "Guten Morgens", no late night drinking etc. The Spanish staff tend to try to segregate us Brits from them at meal times - which is quite funny. You'll find Brits exchanging knowing smiles in small enclaves surrounded by Germans - I mentioned the War once but I think I got away with it...

Hotel is clean and tidy, while it is a German based hotel the staff could speak good english and were very helpfull. The bathroom was a little tired but everything worked. The outside pool is accessed across a narrow road(no problem) and has a bar which serves snacks and is open from approx 10.30 till late with waiter service.Food excellent, pool area clean. Good hotel in a family resort.
