Monte Palm Beach

"Let me start by saying I am not frustrated by my stay there (you know the type that write reviews purely from bad personal experience) so everything you're going to read here is merely a balanced observation and I tried to be as objective as possible. The main thing you need to know about this hotel is it's massively overpriced and I mean massively in a sense of value for money. The cheapest dinner option is "Angus burger" costing €16 (the majority of main dishes in €28-€60 range). Now one can say it's a reasonable price for a gourmet burger in a 5 star hotel and they will be right. However the Nikki Beach burger is a €1.5 frozen pressed cutlet warmed up in microwave. What they call "french fries" is actually thick skin on pub chips. A bottle of local wine (Vranac) in the hotel will cost you anything between €50 and €60 (don't get me started on imported ones) while in the local supermarket you can buy the same for €5-€15. Now comes the funny part: the hotel has run out of black tea. Yes, I am not joking. At breakfast for two days in a row they said black tea was no longer available. The room we stayed in was cold as Arctic, when we asked reception to send someone to look at malfunctioning aircon they said they would but then no one came over during the whole stay. Same thing happened when I asked to swap the room for the room in the same category. They say we'll inform when one becomes available but then they forget about you the next day. At the end we adapted to the one we were in so it was not a big deal but that's about attitude and care. Someone wrote here that staff was disinterested. Couldn't have put it better myself. In summary it's one thing when hotel is pricey but lives up at the level of expectation and quality. At Nikki Beach you just pay through the nose for the ordinary stuff. Thank you but never again. 2 stars for comfortable sun lounges and decent breakfast. The spa is not bad either (bar the prices of course!)."
