Monarque Cendrillon Hotel

The hotel was okay food wasn't that great! Not a lot of selection. Rooms were comfortable and clean, pool was lovely. Beach not far to walk too and pubs but not very many on the beach front. Enjoyed our stay but would go to this location again. Train station close by.

You have to enter thru Hotel Monarque Fuengirola Park at the back. Their reception then tell you to make your way to Cendrillon reception by yourself...even though you don't have a clue, after the useless instructions they give to get rid. What a reception...excuse the pun! So off we went...and ended back at the same place. Eventually a member of staff accompanied us. I think ALL the staff need retraining on basic customer service, especially in the Hospitality Industry. I booked this hotel based on the detail on their website & TripAdvisor stating room safe & minibar included. When queuing this on check in was told safe is extra charge, and 'minibar' is actually an empty fridge....but still she called it a 'minibar'. I suggested to her to update this to 'free fridge' which she still tried to correct me... Anyway on to the room....dated & old. The shower bracket holding the shower only faced the wall, and kept going cold...with a pressure that didn't have the strength to move the soap...Good grief! It had TV, AC and a balcony over the old reception which they closed...and this was full of cigarette stubbs and debrie. On to the food...we were on All Inclusive during out 3 day stay. Surprisingly the food was good, and a good variety...Even though ot was catered for the Spanish who were the majority of the guests. Sunbathing...this finished at 6pm on the dot...and the pool staff would remind you to vacate. The beds were then stacked up away...leaving just the parasols. Entertainment- This was all in Spanish, even the ABBA songs...boy do the Spanish take their dancing seriously...it was like Strictly. The guests were the entertainment! The beach is literally 5mins walk either thru a subway or cross the road. The hotel provides free parking, but you need to ask for a card key to access it. This is also at the back where the entrance is. Would I stay here again...yes, as it was cheap & cheerful.

Plenty of reviews of this hotel.remember this this hotels pool , restaurant, garden and facilities are all used by the much larger sister hotel fuengirola park. Staff are fantastic,the place is spotless. Five stars 💐 Hotel rooms for two very acceptable,yes shower is a hose but still good.If you have a room facing the main road you will need ear plugs. Road noise really loud.you will have to use them in any room as when people come and go in this hotel when I was there they were loud. All inclusive means alot of drunk and noisy people,not the hotel s fault. Food I loved,five stars 🤩🤩 Overall a really good hotel..but ear plugs a must.

We spent 10 days here and had such a relaxing holiday, couldn't fault anything really, onlly one downside was the shower wasn't very good, thanks for a lovely stay will definitely be back sometime, lovely beach too

7 days spent in this hotel, it exceed my expectations food Is fantastic as is the staff which are so friendly and welcoming from front of house to dining to cleaning staff.Facilities are fantastic the only downside is the size of rooms and bathrooms they are small for a family but on the upside they are cleaned and fresh towels every day. Central to all the amenities. Would definitely come back.

I didn’t expect such a lovely hotel .. the rooms are very basic but you have a tv aircon and a fridge … the shared hotel pool was lovely and clean … the food was so nice you have multiple choices of what you could eat and you would definitely fill a plate with a lovely selection… chicken pork fish pizza kebabs plenty of fruit and salad .. good selection of bread fries and potatoes. .. every day there would be different main dishes but most of them were very nice … as for drinks 🍹 they had real coke cola San Miguel Fanta orange and lemon,wines , sangria and the bar was not shy with the spirits a big glass with ice which was lovely… the staff were so so friendly.. I would definitely go back to this hotel its 100% value for money Such a relaxing family hotel … I can also say the sun lounge area was spread out and you would find a spot any time of the day … without rushing out to grab a bed like most hotels. We didn’t want to go home …

I will start of by saying great food, lovely pool and clean all over. The only problem we had was one of the life guards. He had a right problem with any English people in the pool. He told my children off for playing with water guns even though the Spanish kids there were doing the same and it was fine for them. He complained that they got people in the pool wet with the guns. Don’t want to get wet don’t get in a pool. He would stare at my kids constantly to the point it was getting uncomfortable. I get we were in his country but we weren’t being rude or anything and if he doesn’t like the English, don’t work in a hotel were English people will visit. I didn’t let him ruin my holiday but he really had problem with anyone English in the pool.

It's an average hotel in need of a bit of an upgrade
