Hotel Monarque Fuengirola Park is often lauded for its spotless premises and convivial atmosphere, with particular praise directed at the efficient and amiable staff. The hotel boasts a prime location, nestled close to the beach and local amenities, though some guests find the entertainment lacks variety.
While rooms are recognized for their cleanliness and the bonus of daily housekeeping, the older decor and noise insulation receive criticism. Mixed views on value are expressed, as additional costs and limited amenities like scarce sunbeds and power outlets dampen the experience for some visitors.

Hotel : This is a nice hotel. It could do with modernisation but is decent. The reception staff were very helpful and was able to leave my bag in a secure room as I arrived at midday and couldn't check in until 2.30pm. I had a double room as I was by myself and was of good size and every room has a balcony which is a decent size for 2 people to sit on. I was able to get an iron and board from reception staff and took no longer than 5 minutes.
I would not recommend the hotel to anyone under the age of 50 though as the bulk of people at hotel were over this age and the entertainment was catered for this age range as well.
The pool is decent but has a fence all around all day which is ok but might be an eyesore to some people.
Food : I would not recommend getting any board at this hotel apart from room only as the food is catered more towards the spanish holidaymakers. I went for Breakfast the 1st day of a 7 day holiday and did not eat breakfast from the hotel again. I did not eat lunch as I had half board and chose dinner. Dinner was not good either. I did manage to make a meal with chips but only ate dinner half the time I was at hotel. It may be good food for spanish people or other holidaymakers but not for me.
Location : Torreblanca Station is 5 mins walk from the station which you can get to by train from the airport. There is a lovely supermarket over the road from the hotel but it closes early, very early. The bus stop is few minutes walk from the hotel which takes about 15-20 mins to Fuengirola Central depending on time of day. I would not recommend the shop by the bus stop as they seem to inflate there prices by a lot for tourists. The beach is 5 minutes walk and has 2 irish pubs there where you can get a decent breakfast.

A lovely hotel. Staff are friendly, helpful and polite. The rooms are basic but clean. There are ants about, but that is just part of being in Spain. There is a wide range of food to choose from. Some can be cold, depending on when it's brought out, but on the whole hot and tasty. There is a microwave if you need to heat anything up. I'm a veggie and didn't struggle to find anything to eat, the vegan chilli was very nice. The pool is a good size. There is a life guard who cleans the pool of leaves throughout the day. Cleaners and gardeners are about throughout the day, maintaining all public areas. Not too many sunbeds and people do queue to get them. They are locked up until 10am. The beach is just across the road and you can hire a sunbed there for 5 euros. We have booked again for next year.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The rooms are dated but kept very clean. We were All Inclusive and the food was ok Obviously not Michelin star for this price point but was always something nice to eat, selection of fish and meats or salads etc. Some was not the warmest but the English are in the minority here (mainly Spanish and German) but there are microwaves if needed, I never needed one. Desserts were actually better than most hotels. Drinks in dining hall served in jugs so you could have 500ml of whatever, wine, sangria, beer etc Again kept very clean. Drinks were standard AI and served with a smile and quickly All staff were pleasant. Grounds are massive with decking and grass areas. Indoor pool nice, outdoor was closed. Close to beach and 5 mins from the train station opening up the ability to travel cheaply. Taxi rank outside. Went to Mijas which is beautiful and taxi was 15 euro each way. All in all, for what we paid, can't fault it

We booked this through Jet 2 on a half board basis, had I known at the time this was mainly an All inclusive resort I would not have booked it. Firstly the rooms were ok, cleaned every day with regular clean towels and the benefit of air conditioning. There was a small fridge in the fridge but no tea or coffee making facilities, although we did take our own. There is a supermarket just across the road from the entrance of the hotel which was handy for ice, drink etc. Second the food in the hotel was not that great. To be fair there was plenty of choice but very repetitive. Also we did not find the dinning room to be particularly clean, dirty plates , cockroaches, staff handling food with their bare hands. Also guests touching fresh fruit etc, not using the tongs provided. If you are half board you have the option of changing your dinner for lunch which we did most days, only having dinner two nights of the twelve we were there. There is also a nice restaurant called the Anchor again across from the front entrance which service good meals, we ate in there on two occasions. If you are eating in the restaurant go early as for some reason the later you go you have to queue up. There are some good restaurants in Los Bolliches which is a short walk from the hotel. The swimming pool and grass area are always busy for beds, having to queue before 10 am. The indoor pool is good and quieter being away from the outdoor area.
Unfortunately would not return to this hotel.

I was with my wife spending a few days at this hotel. Not a single detail for their birthday (they tell you to buy it and they take it...). Also, because it's from the Monarque Club, they give you 30 minutes of spa (??), which doesn't give you time for anything (16 euros cost 1 hour of the mini-spa they have) and a complimentary appetizer to choose from, which you get anyway in the All Inclusive, so it is also absurd. Of course, they give you a discount when you book on their website. At exactly 6:00 p.m. they close the pool (literally, the lifeguard leaves and they fence it so that no one can enter it), so you find yourself in the heated pool of the spa with bustle (remember that it is a relaxation area ), without anyone doing anything to prevent it. In short, a very poor hotel for a 4-star hotel, very repetitive and poor quality buffet, shower with a simple rusty shower head, a small anthill in the bathroom of the room, uncomfortable bed, very poor and poorly organized entertainment activities, ... A shame, because it has a good location (5 minutes walk from the train station and the beach), but it urgently needs renovation and changing certain policies. I do not think I'll come back.

The hotel was the starting point of a tour of the site.
When we arrived at the hotel, we were given a room with a bed that was 135 cm wide. We complained about this impossibility straight away, but were only given another room the next day. We did not pay the €40 we were asked to pay for the additional cleaning, but only after complaining.
The hotel is actually ripe for renovation.
The hotel's classification is questionable.
But the hotel dining room had the charm of an industrial canteen from the 1970s and no soundproofing.
The food on offer is also stuck at the level of the 1970s.
All the food was poorly prepared, there was no variety at breakfast, fried eggs were swimming in oil, scrambled eggs in water. Only the salad selection met the hotel standard stated. For guests on pensioner trips according to the Spanish pensioner travel companies or travelers from Bulgaria, this may be sufficient.
You can see the quality of the food offered by the two pictures in the appendix. 1 x the description, 1 x raw poultry schnitzel. Fortunately, this was noticed after the first bite and there were no health consequences.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights as a group of 3 adults to one room. This is not a 4 star hotel, I would say 2 star at a push. The room was tiny, a double room at best with an extra bed, so 3 twin beds squeezed into a space only suitable for a double bed. There was no space to even walk around the beds. We could not unpack our suitcases as no space to put 3 adults worth of stuff which means we lived out of our suitcases. God knows how a family saying for a week or 2 would cope. Only 2 plug sockets in the room and these were above the beds on either end which meant we couldn't use them whilst in bed. The room was dated and the beds were rock hard. No tea making facilities in the room and were told it would cost 20 euros to rent a kettle. You could buy a kettle for cheaper than that! The walls were paper thin and we were kept up by incessant chatting from the room next door. Now lets move on to the food. Absolutely terrible. The worst food I have ever experienced at an all inclusive in over 20 years. We paid for all inclusive but ate out for every meal. There was a lack of variety and what was on offer looked inedible. Pasta was sitting in water and everything seemed to have slices of egg in it. One night as we headed back up to the room at about 11.30pm the breakfast stuff was already sitting out under clingfilm for the next morning. There were no help yourself drinks machines for fizzy drinks but instead you had to queue to get a simple glass of coke. The majority of the guests were over 65 and the entertainment reflected this and was aimed at the Spanish. The only plus side was the staff who were friendly and welcoming and the fact that it was a 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. We will never return.

We arrived with EasyJet very good flight customer assistance was excellent. Arrived at Malaga and special assistance was waiting for us to take us to baggage control. We hired a car from Malaga car rental with no problem When we arrived at hotel we checked in with no problem hotel reception staff speak English and were extremely friendly. We had car parking with is just outside hotel with plenty of spaces. We had a room on the 4th floor overlooking the swimming pool balcony has table and two chairs and gets the sun in afternoon. The room itself had twin beds together with just one pillow but housekeeping provided more you have to ask. Room was comfortable it has a fridge tv. Slighted dated there was a crack in laminate floor. Bathroom had bath with shower above shower gel provided sink toilet and bidet also hair dryer. In wardrobe there was a safe you need to get key from reception There is no tea coffee or kettle in room but we alway bring a travel kettle We had half board the dining room is on floor 0 and there is a life and slope for disabled food in the restaurant was buffet style with a different range of foods that anyone could find to eat they cater for vegan vegetarian as well. The restaurant is spacious with waiters and waitresses clearing tables and resetting food is constantly being topped up. Drinks you have to buy and a jug of wine was about 6€ The hotel itself has evening entertainment there is also a spa on the premises the out door pool wasn’t open. The hotel is in walking distance to the beach there are plenty of taxis outside the hotel. There is also a bus route towards the beach Very pleasant hotel

The waiting staff, housekeeping and dining staff were all lovely here, sadly the same can’t be said for the reception staff, very condescending and rude to our children! I would like to give a special mention to Javer who works as part of the bar staff, he is super polite and very helpful assisting us with our very broken Spanish, thank you Javer! Sadly there was never enough sunbeds around the pool, many people were precious about this and practically camped out to get the same spot, there was plenty of space around the pool but for some reason they only put sunbeds on one side of the pool. There was loads of fun games and activities at the pool which was enjoyed by all. Occasionally the pool was very dirty, we used the indoor pool mostly as it was very welcoming, especially to cool you down with the 31 degree heat. You need a cap for the indoor pool, they cost 1.5 Euro at the spa reception. This hotel has a very authentic feel as many guest are Spanish, which we love so it was great to see. There were a minority of guest that were quite unkind, not aware that we could understand bits of what they were saying, my children were upset at these guests however I explained that you get unkind people everywhere and they are a minority! The location is lovely, right by the beach and close to bars if you want to venture out. We thought the food was delicious, fresh and tasty. The all inclusive as a whole was pleasantly surprising, the drink options and ice creams and milkshakes for the kids. Also the savoury snacks at the pool bar were lovely, Spanish Tapas. Now sadly the reason we have given 3 star is the rooms. They are very dated and need upgrading! The beds, we were in a double room apparently, this was 2 single beds put together and they kept moving apart as they are on wheels, so sadly my husband and I slept separately the whole holiday. The pillows were so poor that my husband had come home with a very tender neck. The balcony felt very unstable also and we were 6 floors up so I kept the kids off the balcony. Finally the walls are paper thin, we heard our neighbours shower, talking and everything else!!!!!!!!!!! All in all this was a nice pleasant holiday and if the rooms weren’t so poor it would definitely be a solid 4.

This hotel is not in the centre it is about 1 hours walk away or bus ride. Well located for the beach which is about 4 mins away. There are restaurants and a few shops near the hotel but nothing else. Easy reach of train station and buses. The hotel is mainly full of Spanish guests and so therefore caters mainly for the Spanish, the food, the music, the day and night entertainment etc The food is nothing more than average, and never hot no matter what time you go. The choice is very limited but you would not starve. The drinks on the AI were fine, exactly what you would expect. One of our party is vegan and got a vegan pizza made for him and he could manage to find something to eat although repetitive The hotel is immaculate and clean, constant cleaning in progress. Our room was fine, safe, hairdryer and Aircon in the room - no extra charge for air con. Most of the staff were great, very hard working. Some prefer to give service to the Spanish guests first regardless of who was there first. The outdoor pool is way to small for a hotel of this size, and there is no where near enough parasols/umbrellas for the amount of people/sun beds. There are shaded areas in the lovely gardens and a fabulous indoor pool. The indoor pool is lovely and clean you have to wear a swim hat but you can buy them for £1.50. I would not stay here again due to the location, lack of shade for the sun beds and pool size. It was fine for a week. The staff on the whole are helpful and very hard working If you get the bus into the centre (just outside the hotel) you can then get the 122 bus to Mijas which is a lovely village to look round and well worth the cheap bus fare.

You don't wear swimming caps in the outdoor pool. You need a swimming cap if you want to go into the indoor pool. I think you can buy them from the staff for a couple of euros. Not sure about pool towel rental, I would ask the staff at the indoor pool.
