We have been coming twice a year, for a while now, and as usual our stay was wonderful, except the evening entertainment which was dismal, apart from the show which the day time entertainment team did. If this had been our first time here, I don't think we would have been coming back, it really was substandard, not the usual standard we are used to.
The hotel is in an ideal location. The rooms are very comfortable and cleaning service is excellent. The food is a good standard although we were disappointed that it was usually served luke warm. The Gala dinner was a disappointment as it was not very different to any other night. The evening entertainment was mixed, some good acts, but not all. In general the staff are very friendly and helpful. We paid extra to have access to the Select lounge which was great, although drinks kept running out, along with ice, and we kept having to ask for it to be topped up. These few things stop me from giving 5 stars.
3rd visit to the Sandos Monaco and it didn't disappoint, Great hotel,perfect location the rooms are a good size and serviced daily Always good choice of food. The staff are amazing always very helpful. Judith who does the entertainment is exceptional the star of the show
4 years ago I wrote a review saying it might be the last trip to this hotel - we booked a late break to this one again - mainly for the location and pool - unfortunately a lot of the previous issues remain - and in some cases were actually a lot worse - so this will indeed be our last visit.
Food quality has was poor, still weird and wonderful combinations mean you struggle to put a meal together - and when you do it is either repetitive, cold/lukewarm or under-cooked. I mean, why put curried rice and and then put no curry on!
Although you can now order food again from the outside snack bar you still can't refill your soft drinks or beer from the taps next to the snack bar (permanently covered up) which means you have to queue inside for a drink (only once you have dried off from the pool). Why give us all inclusive bracelets and then not give us the freedom like before 2020.
The rooms are now terribly dated, the wardrobe doors kept coming off the rails, the instructions for the safe (which you still have to pay for on an all inclusive basis) are not clear and it had to be reset twice before it would work properly.
The sun loungers on the balcony you get with the wellness room are flimsy and difficult to get out of if someone of a larger size - comfy enough once in them but you didn't dare move much for fear of unintended movements.
The staff on the whole were good, but the hotel entertainment was worse than on previous visits - convinced one of the singers was miming (which didn't make it any better) .
As we booked the wellness room we had the opportunity for a treatment (we had the massage) - we had to put on the smallest budgie smugglers you can think of - bearing in mind we went in in swimwear we thought this is unwarranted and then if you use the spa water circuit they insist on selling people a head cap to those with hair - this is new since the last time and for my opinion just a money grab.
The massage was nice however but you don't get the full 25 mins - that 25 mins included is filling out the paperwork and getting changed so probably no more than 18-20 mins.
The cleanliness on the walkway up to the hotel is also poor - since a children's playground was installed over the road from the bottom of the hotel all the dog walkers now let their dogs defecate on the run up to the hotel instead and don't bother picking it up - meaning on hot days it absolutely stinks.
I am now wishing we had stayed at the Riveria Beach Hotel again, as although not all inclusive, the food quality, cleanliness and everything else is a lot better than the Sandos Monaco.
I agree with the comments around the €3 per day to use a safe in the room is a bit of a rip off, All inclusive only gets you 2 different Cocktails . It’s all local spirits and if you want anything different you have to pay , Having to buy a cap and flip flops for the spa is poor . Food was decent with variety, Hotel was very clean rooms cleaned every day . Entertainment was average nothing great . The WIFI was poor it said you were connected but you could not get into apps etc . You have to get to the pool around 9 am to secure a bed as they go quickly ,
