This is our second year here, last year we came in August but we have found it more pleasant this year in September due to the weather is cooler and the hotel isn’t as busy. Our experience has been very luxurious yet again, feeling totally relaxed with magical sea views. Excellent service around the pool bar area , with drinks and food freshly prepared. Breakfast is delicious with a fantastic variety of fresh food and a chef cooking on request I must say I missed seeing Miguel in the main restaurant as his attention to detail was very good, but all the other staff are pleasant and provide a good service. Again the views are breathtaking. I enjoyed the food, tasting different foods each night as I enjoy fish and meat. I requested chips every night for hubby and it wasn’t a problem. Wine menu outstanding choice We stayed in a suite and our maid service has been outstanding clean sheets every day. Which has been appreciated

This is the flagship house of the Servigroup hotel chain, which has more hotels along the Spanish Costas. It fully complies with its five-star rating. The location is unique and wonderful, on top of a rocky cliff near the village of Villajoyosa, halfway between Benidorm and Alicante. Viewing the sunset from your room, from the hotel pool, or even from one of the two beaches is a fantastic experience. The main beach can be reached via a system of escalators and offers basic comforts: sunbeds and sunscreens can be rented, and the beach is stony, somewhat chaotic, and access in the water is quite steep. There is a small but very busy bar/restaurant with some local food that doesn't belong to the hotel. The other beach offers no comfort and is aimed at nudists. Rooms are spacious and offer all the comfort you need for a shorter or longer holiday: super beds, big bathrooms, desk, chairs, balcony, fridge, etc. Hotel staff is helpful and friendly. One of the real pleasures is the restaurant with truly excellent food, great service and reasonable prices. We had the half-board option for a week and that proved super value for money. The hotel has its own parking garage, which can be booked at additional cost. Two minor points of criticism: The room cleaning service is not always satisfactory and attentive. And it is really a pity that the hotel doesn't operate a small service at the beach. But these are really minor points. We had a fantastic holiday in a wonderful place. 10 out of 10, even if it's 99 out of 100.

“A little bit of paradise on Spanish cliff side”

This is a big positive surprise to me. My wife, I and our 12 year old, booked a bungalow with full views of the ocean and beach. Large, clean and to fall asleep and waken to the sounds of the waves was priceless. All mod cons were there and all worked perfectly. Staff were excellent. At the ... lisää

This is a big positive surprise to me. My wife, I and our 12 year old, booked a bungalow with full views of the ocean and beach. Large, clean and to fall asleep and waken to the sounds of the waves was priceless. All mod cons were there and all worked perfectly. Staff were excellent. At the reception I mainly dealt with Jorge and Vicent both of whom were exceptionally friendly, professional and enthusiastic. I had hoped that I would see Vicent given the comments made about him in an earlier post. Well he was quite the opposite to what client perceived in their comments. Possibly just a bad day... The hotel does look out onto the nudist beach (more correctly termed naturist I believe) and my terrace was the closest in distance. About 60% of people were naked the others not. Not my kind of thing to lie on the beach in my birthday suit but hey everyone to their own. It certainly didn't bother and you would have to strain your eyes to see anything interesting so I would say there should be no worries for people fearing sight of naked people... Their website does talk about this beach. I am not a big fan of Spanish food in general, but the food was cooked well and served well. One waiter, Antonio, speaks good english and is very helpful. The pool bar is excellent with great cocktails and prices of drinks were very reasonable. The artwork in the hotel is amazing. Perched on a cliff you are in heaven. Mainly Spanish guests, very few families. I saw two other families with young teenage kid each. I would highly recommend to all.

We enjoyed our stay - and were pleased to return to the Montiboli again after many years (though sorry to see that the water feature in the entrance courtyard had gone and the area has been paved over instead). The location of the hotel is superb, with the choice of two beaches either side and two pools. The grounds and garden and staff are excellent and the rooms are spacious. Maintenance is also clearly done to high standards, everything is clean and well kept and the gardens are well looked after. However, the hotel feels rather dated and rather 20th Century e.g. the furniture in the rooms is rather old/out of fashion. A small investment in more premium furniture and fittings would make a HUGE difference. That said, our bed and pillows were excellent! Also, a door on the toilet in our bathroom would have been helpful - as would a vanity mirror in the bathroom. And why dual showers, but only a single basin in the bathroom? As some other reviews have said, the breakfast is not up to 5 star hotel standards - reduce the quantity of the breakfast offering (there is just too much that many people likely do not want) and increase the quality e.g. more premium breakfast cereals and not in individual packets (not very sustainable). Plus Country Store muesli is such a 1970ies brand! Perhaps hotel management should visit some 5 star hotels in other countries to experience their breakfast offering. And the bar on the lobby floor with balcony is a wasted opportunity - use that instead for the restaurant, with open air balcony (at least outside the hotter summer months).
