Servatur Montebello

We have just returned from a week a Montebello. Firstly the positives - the balcony size is amazing Negatives - After reading reviews, I emailed ahead and requested our one bedroom apartment be on floors 7, 8 or 9 - I understand this is only a request but was disappointed on arrival to have been given room 506, after seeing that our lovely huge balcony wasn’t a balcony but a terrace that had a path along it with nothing closing our outside space in, we went straight back to reception to ask to be moved. The photo shows our terrace and the other a plan of the rooms. We were unable to be moved until day 3 of our 7 day holiday which meant we lived out of a case for nearly half of our holiday We were moved to floor 3 which whilst lower down had a lovely big private balcony We enjoyed eating at the restaurants near the beach rather than the commercial centre and visited Caballito de Mar twice in the week As the title says, wouldn’t return

We stayed in studio apartments, had everything you needed for self catering, we only cooked snack like meals twice, we took a fan with us as no air-con, spare plugs behind the beds, we didnt pay for the tv channels, great balcony with sun lounger, pool was busy every day but we got a sunbed no problem but at weekends very busy, The cafe/bar was excellent and well priced, nice food and lovely cool drinks, yes we would recommend these apartment cos great views from apartment and walkable to the centre/beach - we took taxi back to hotel 3-5 Euro's. You can hear music from the centre but didn't keep us awake we slept with doors open.

Not long home after a 2 week stay at the Montebello apartments and they were just what we were looking for in a self catering apartment. We arrived late at night the receptionist was very quick and efficient in checking us in and giving us all the information we needed, directed us to our room using the little map. The studio apartment was great just for the 2 of us had everything you would need, fridge with small freezer box, kettle, toaster and plates, cups /glasses, cutlery and utensils more than enough to make a breakfast lunch snack etc. Onsite supermarket was really handy for day to day things fresh bread etc. Pool opened at 10am which I found great as there was no one getting up at the crack of dawn to put out towels!! Everyone just had to wait until it was open fab idea 👍 We stayed in room 416 which is one level down from the pool and a few steps away from the side gate down a few steps (100) which takes you straight to the commercial centre, beach and all the restaurants absolutely spot on for location. I know many people will think that’s a lot of steps but it doesn’t feel that bad going down coming back up is another story but taxis are so cheep €2-€4 depending on the time of day worth every penny lol. We ate in the pool bar a few times and honestly can say we never had a bad meal and very reasonably priced, the 2 women who served us were helpful and polite. Happy hour at the bar was fab too 2-4-1 on some drinks. The only advice I would give is the pool does get busy at the weekends as lots of Spanish families come but never stopped us getting a sun lounger and was lovely to here all the kids having fun. Also you have to pay for T.V €16 for a week. Free WiFi for 2 devices is a bonus. Huge balcony too. We had a late flight home too and asked if we could keep our room on, we were able to keep it until 2 which was a big bonus there is also a guest shower room you can use to freshen up and you can leave your luggage at the reception all these little things make a huge difference. One last thing the cleaners are fab they come in 5 out of the 7 days and clean empty bins make up beds fresh towels every other day changed beds 3 times over our 2 week stay. All in all fabulous holiday and have already recommended the montebello to family members.
