FANTASTIC LOFT/STUDIO IN MONARCA

This Loft is definately your budget room. It wasn't shining clean-eg rust around the bathtub, AC wall and ceiling filters not reently cleaned, the window had never been opened due to dirt build-up. It is a very basic, low-end apartment. That said, Monarca is a very lovely resort-type condo. Lovely pools, right on the beach and the staff are VERY helpful and accomodating. We had Wi-Fi difficulty at the start and unable to to open the big window, but the reception staff were excellent in helping resolve those issues. Juan, the owner was helpful too but I doubt if he's been to this rental of his for awhile.The location of this rental faces a mountainous view which is pleasant and overlooks the golfcourse-not the ocean. It is very noisy at night with the local AI hotels music going late and the huge AC building across the parking lot is so noisy all the time, plus street traffic. Not relaxing to stay in the apartment, but the beach and pools are very nice to spend the day at. I would not return to this Loft but I would return to another condo rental in the Monarca.

Host was responsive, staff at Monarca Principe friendly and extremely helpful,( reasonable prices at the on-site restaurant); beautiful beach and the sunrises.

Condo was very clean quiet and safe. Owner was awesome. Staff so friendly. Highly recommend this place

This is a nice clean property. The condo is fairly basic and doesn't have a balcony. It also faces the back and there were times when noise/music from vehicles on the street and nearby clubs made sleep challenging into the early hours of the morning. Bring earplugs just in case, but this is true of most touristy vacation spots. The beach is nice, but not a swimmers beach. Too much wave action most of the time. Otherwise, no complaints and we enjoyed our stay.

Very safe , clean , friendly staff !!!

Monarca Principe prides it self as being a safe ,quiet, clean complex . Staff is friendly, grounds and pool are well maintained.

I've spent several years visiting the hotels on the south side of the beach in Ixtapa. This trip we stayed at the Monarca located on the north side of the beach. It was in every way a significant upgrade from our hotel experiences. Looking forward to staying again in future.

We have stayed at the Monarca for many years and will hope to stay there again next year. The staff is fantastic and the location is great.

We love Ixtapa and have been there about 12 times. The Monarca Principal was well kept, lots of staff. The unit we rented was in fair condition, but not very clean . The air conditioner couldn’t be adjusted , so it was very cold with it on. I didn’t realize that kitchen tea towels, a dish cloth , dish soap, toilet paper are not supplied with the 14 days we rented the unit . But we did get two old brown bath towels !!. I had to wash all the dishes , pots and pans , silverware etc. as they were placed back in the cupboards with food partials left on them. The microwave had gobs of rancid lard on the bottom of it and the smell was overwhelming, but it cleaned up very nicely as it’s quite new . The windows were dirty from the hurricane, we were very impressed because immediately after we mentioned it to the front desk a crew came up and washed them.

Beautiful location and beautiful place. Very enjoyable.
