your accommodation - diamond ratings

Official ratings are set by relevant overseas authorities (where applicable), but unfortunately do not represent a consistent way of comparing accommodation standards from one country to the next. Therefore, Monarch has established its own Diamond ratings to help you choose. These are based on our own knowledge at the time of going to press, and take into account facilities, food, service and location as well as the characteristic differences between hotels and apartments. The ratings are given on a scale of 2-5 diamonds and represent a range from basic good value without frills to above average with extra comfort. Properties with a 'plus' rating are those which have that little something extra that stands them apart. Not all accommodation within the same rating will necessarily offer the same facilities.
