My husband and I got married at this stunning venue in August this year and from start to finish everything was flawless. I first contacted Joy in January this year after deciding Spain is truly where we both wanted to say I do!
From the first moment I had contact with Joy I knew our wedding was in safe hands. Joy went above and beyond over the months leading up to the wedding and was on hand day and night on occasions with a yes, and of course, no problem, leave it with me. There was nothing that Joy wasn't prepared to do for us and our big day. It seemed Joy knew what I wanted before I did and she understood the vision we had for our wedding day and bought it to life spectacularly. The food was exceptional, the service perfect, the venue simply stunning and Joy, truly a modern day fairy godmother! Our wedding was more than what we could of ever of hoped for and Joy and her fantastic team made that possible. Family and friends are still talking about our wedding and say it's the best they have ever been too!! So much so we have already booked the date a year to the day for a one year anniversary party, we just had to do it all over again.
From my new husband,our little girl and all of our family and friends thank you so much Joy and Castillio de Monda Team for making our wedding day one we will all remember forever. See you next year!! read less

Absolutely breathtaking location and wonderful staff. Our family had a wonderful time. Ruins of a actual 9th century Arab fortress were outside our room. So surreal experience.

What makes it is the out door space - so many places to sit and relax and all with amazing views. We chose this hotel for a five night break in our three weeks of travelling and it didn't disappoint. I think the breakfast area /dining room was probably the highlight - what an experience. There wasn't a massive choice for breakfast but the quality was good and beautifully presented and everything felt very laid back. Very Spanish - no rush. We didn't eat in the restaurant but ate from the bar menu outside on the terraces most evenings and the food was delicious. The drink prices were competitive as well. A lot more expensive than a Spanish bar but still cheaper than British pubs.
I must now add that I did not like our room at all! This seems strange after giving five stars but I feel that I can't mark the hotel down due to what is probably personal preference. Our room (409) was huge, practically cavernous, with black painted floors and very little furniture which was old and worn - the complete opposite to the bar and restaurant which were modern and light and airy. No artwork on the walls or rugs on the floor combined with the black floor and heavy dark furniture made it dark and unwelcoming. Definitely not a relaxing space. Also no TV (not a problem) and no fridge, which would have been useful in August. The shower room on the other hand had been recently renovated and was beautiful as well as very functional. Good quality bedding, towels and toiletries and efficient air conditioning and WiFi. I guess we booked a room in a castle so what did we expect. My only suggestion would be to brighten the room up a bit with better lighting, rugs, artwork and some of the furniture from the bar area.
Nevertheless we really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. read less

We found the food in the restaurant outstanding - so much so we ate here a couple of times during our short stay.
Our only criticism is the limited space by the pool. There isn't much that can be done about this given the space available. I can only suggest that some cover is provided on the flat roofs available, so people could enjoy some quiet time there instead.
Having said that, I can't recommend this place highly enough - we would definitely stay again. read less
