Monarque El Rodeo

I stayed in El Rodeo in May for a couple of weeks (have been here before) and was certainly not let down. The rooms are immaculately cleaned. The location is excellent for everything and I will be back for sure in September. A very special mention for Marie, Santiago and Carlos -- they are excellent front of staff and an asset to the hotel. For a 3 star hotel I can not recommend this place enough. I can highly recommend it. There is one negative if I dare say, and that is that I think the meals could have a little more imagination and variation. Yes, I know this is 3 star but one small criticism might make this place into 4 star. Anyway - well done.

Having visited Marbella many times, this was our first stay at El Rodeo. We normally go for self-catering but as this was a short stay of 5 nights, we decided on a hotel, (b/b) and we were very pleased with El Rodeo. Great location, clean, good size room and balcony, all the staff are polite and efficient and the breakfast was good and all at a reasonable price. Though I would agree with other reviews that the coffee was not great! Maybe get a few of those pod machines ? Other than that we could not fault The El Rodeo and hope to return again.

we have just returned after a weeks stay hotel in a good location close to beach etc.The room was ok with a bathtub and shower and bidet and a decent sized double bed.I prefer a hand held shower not one above coming out the wall just a personal opinion but it served it's purpose.TV only one English channel BBC world news ok wasn't there for tv anyway.Also we were on 6th floor so bit of a wait for lift at breakfast/dinner etc.5 minutes from beach which was lovely.The problem on the beach was we were constantly being approached by the looky looky men selling counterfeit rubbish goods handbags towels t-shirt etc got on my nerves a bit.Now for a few minor criticisms the rooms have thin walls so can hear next door talking,snoring,having sex etc.The breakfast ok loads of choice.The coffee seemed not to bad from a machine so didn't expect much anyway.The evening meal was ok but on a few evenings struggled to find anything I liked anyone who likes fish will be ok they serve it every evening.Overall for what we paid we got a good deal remember it's only 3star.I would recommend the hotel if looking for a central but quiet hotel at a good value for money break we didn't use the pool but it has a small one on roof with a terrace.
