Let’s see a comment from a traveler on Tripadvisor.

When Me, my husband, 16 yr old daughter, 12 yr old son and 8 month old son got to the hotel I was a bit conserned as the buildings were 23 floors high ! When I booked through an Internet site it showed a low rise appartmemt block so I wasn’t expecting it to be so high, as I have a phobia of hights and don’t do lifts plus have asmah so can’t climb to many flights of stairs! Also I have a 12 yr old boy who sleep walks plus a 8 month old baby with a buggie! I went to the reception desk to see what floor they were going to put us on ……. Floor 16 the lady said oh my god I nearly fainted ! They said there was nothing else, I asked for a low floor and explained to her the above problems of hights ect, she didn’t seem to be bothered then I asked for the manager, he sorted it out straight away 1st floor
block 4 , what a releife. 2 small flights of stairs so wasn’t out of breath ! The room was lovely !!!! 1 bed apartment bathroom an wc nice large balcony looking out on the pool and entertainment and but in kitchen with fridge and hob and microwave plus sink and storage, we were all inclusive so didn’t really use it only for babys bottles as I brought the steralizer with me. Air con was lovely adit was so hot! Celling fan in bedroom.
Food in the main resturant was lovely plenty of variety, me and my son are very fussy but we ate plenty. Waiters were constantly clearing tables and very friendly recomed to get there early as it’s not too busy then otherwise it can be very rushy.
Pool was really nice but not that many beds, people were waiting to get a bed at 9 am but the pool area didn’t open untill 10 ?????? We stayed for 4 nights and I walked down to the pool to get a bed at 10 when it opend (didn’t stand in a que) and always managed to get a good sun bed in a good sunny area ! So I don’t no why people were waiting from 9 am ?????
The kids loved the slides.
Drinking water ….. If u are all inclusive some bars will charge u for bottled water !!!! Aparantly u only get it free if u have a gold card ???
The only down side was the
Entertainment it was not very good at all ! If you are brittish there is a bar just outside the reception area that is ok. A bit better than the main entertainment .
Overall my family had a great time and would defantly go back!

Stayed August 2011

“Stayed at magic monika last week in may. Had a great stay, with my mother, 3 yr old son and 16 yr old daughter. This was the best all inclusive hotel i have ever stayed in benidorm and i have been lots of times. The food was always fresh and varied. The entertainment was a little grim but because the hotel doesnt officially start the season until june so beware of that. There were only a few bars open but didnt matter to us because the hotel was pretty empty at that time of year. All the hotel bars were due to open the week after we left. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, the kids club ran from 11am til 1pm and then from 3pm until 7pm. After that the kids disco started at 8pm so plenty for the little ones. Also a park and a very good kids area in the pool. Dont stay here if you want to be central to benidorm its a 20 min bus ride to benidorm centre, which we loved because we wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle. Cant realy fault this hotel, if anything the roomsare a little dated but very spacious and clean. the cleaners came every day including sunday. we were advised by the security guard to avoid peak season has it gets very packed and cues are likely. all in all a great family hotel just outside benidorm. used the free bus a few times but the num 41 and 12 bus run every 10 mins into benidorm the last 1 back is 10.30pm. The outdoor market next to the hotel on a friday is a must, plenty of cheap things to buy. i got 1kg of strawberries for a euro :)”

“We have just returned from a weeks all inclusive break at the monika holiday resort. We really enjoyed it!!

The pool is fantastic! it’s huge and has lots of different areas to it. One for toddlers, with see saw and ride on toys, one for older kids with slides and a small tube slide and deeper areas for swimmers with a swin up bar. We had no problem finding a sun bed and the poolside is cleaned everyday and is not opened until around 9.30am which meant no-one could reserve beds until this time. loads of sunbeds - brilliant!
there is also a small kids play park and a small soft play area that ours loved.
Most people staying in the hotel were spanish and we only met about 4 other english families! The entertainment is mostly spanish with a bit of english interpritation! We thought this was nice as it made us feel more on holiday!!!!
The hotel is about a 3 min walk from a small beach with a few restaurants and shops and a market on some days. but if you want to find more hustle and bustle there is a free bus that goes twice a day to other hotels in the chain some of which are in the centre of Benidorm. We did this one day and it worked a treat! otherwise Benidorm is only about 5 mins away in a taxi or the bus stops just down the road.
The food was fresh, not always labelled which was a bit annoying!! there is always a salad bar, chips and pasta or rice and then about 5 main dishes that change everyday. the puddings I found disapointing as they were alays some kind of gateaux with a different coloured topping and tasted the same to me!
The drinks tasted good to us! pepsi did not taste watered down…. If you want the labelled spirits you can pay extra for a GOLD CARD I think it’s 6 euros per day, but we stuck with the local stuff and had no worries at all!!
We stayed in block 4. right next to the entertainment. I have to say it was VERY LOUD!!! however, we watched most of it anyway and it stopped at midnight and then it was very quiet as they move all remaining people away!
We did have a wait to check in, reception always seemed to be very busy, the staff were very nice though.
Our room was nice, it was clean and air conditioned - it was a bit dated but was nice non the less. we had a one bed appartment and our 2 kids had the bedroom which left us with the sofa bed which was very uncomfortable!!!! really needed a new matteress!!! ah well! you can’t have it all!!
The building is very high, 22 floors i think, if you dont like heights, i would suggest a mid or lower floor!
All in all, we had a great holiday, and would go back again. Great for families!!!!!”
