SBH Monica Beach Resort

Deberían mejorar los platos en el comedor. No es cuestión de gast**** más sino mejorar su elaboración, así como la variedad de los platos que se ofrecen.

We chose the SBH Monica Beach Hotel for its proximity to the ION Windsurf club located on the beach. The resort is supposedly a 4* all-inclusive but found out quickly that this is very misleading. Comparing this to my experience at a 3* / 4* / 5* all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, this is closer to 3* with a huge asterisks on the all-inclusive component. Biggest surprise was that the use of the safe in the room is an additional cost. This should complementary, just like the hotel key card that locks the door and safeguards your room / belongings. Wifi is only available in the lobby with very weak reception, and none in the rooms or throughout the property (so we ended up roaming the entire duration of the trip instead). Most of the activities that they advertise (mini-put, tennis, basketball, etc) are an additional cost to rent per use. There is no late-night snack bar so you better fill up at dinner or prepare a plate as they close promptly at dinner - I recall the last few minutes of dinner service when I walked to fill up my glass of water before leaving and the beverage section was roped off with the waiter pointing to his watch as explanation as to why I cannot refill my drink. There is no water fountain available on the property so bring a water bottle and keep it full while the bar remains open. After service closes, you will have to wait until the next day. Cockroaches everywhere at night.

Emplacement très bien. Bungalows confortables. Nourriture très correcte. Manque un peu de choix en desserts le midi ;-) Plage superbe. Piscines ok mais froides, dommage. Globalement cela reste une très bonne expérience pour nous

Great hotel with the access to the beach. The food is delicious and plenty to choose from. Very impressed by the New Years Eve dinner.The beach could be more incorporated in to the hotel. The deck chairs extra charge and long walk to the hotel bar to get the drinks. Also extra charge to use safe in the room. The Wi-Fi only free in the public areas. But the weather was beautiful and we had a great time.

L'hôtel est parfaitement situé et à distance de marche de la plage. Un grand complexe qui était également très calme et familial. Le personnel était très amical et serviable. Un seul restaurant était ouvert (en raison de COVID) et le personnel d'animation était également très bon et divertissant. Je recommande fortement ce complexe.

Tranquilo hotel con buena localización y buena comida

Personale molto cortese e sempre disponibile

Clean, spacious hotel. The pool and pool bar area was really nice with a great outdoors bar facing the beach at the rear of the hotel (Africa Bar). All staff encountered were extremely helpful and friendly (not to mention hard-working). My room was fabulous with a really large patio with loungers and & bistro set. The room was cleaned every day and was I welcomed to a bottle of champagne upon arrival & a Christmas Stocking on the door handle. The beach is really accessible at the rear of the hotel and is gorgeous with fantastic views. Costa Calma is a quiet, clean, laid back resort town but if you are not going on an all-inclusive holiday I would recommend a larger resort instead as there really isn't much there at all outside of the hotel complexes other a couple of small shopping centres and one or two quiet bars & restaurants. During the day (as a few were overcast, people were flocking to the larger Morro Jable & Jandia on the bus about 30 minutes away). This really isn't a complaint in the slightest but expect to find Costa Calma and the Southern area of Fuerteventura to be a very German experience indeed therefore everything being extremely geared towards Germans. As I say, not a complaint, just a word in advance for any UK / Irish travellers expecting the usual British/Irish style bars (with Premiership football) that you find in a lot of holiday destinations. I've seen some unfairly bad reviews on here about the SBH Monica Beach, but in all honesty the hotel is really nice and has a lot of on-site amenities (just not much outside of the hotel). I've knocked a star off my review as I found for a journeyman Canary Islands 4 star hotel traveller that the restaurant was more the equivalent of a 2 or 3 star Canteen room experience & despite enjoying the food on offer the buffet was 95 percent the exact same daily for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. There were absolutely none of the "theme" nights that you come to expect in pretty much every other 4 star resort that you may stay at in the Canaries and beyond. The main bar for evening entertainment was quite impressive though, I didn't really stay for any of the entertainment on offer but it appeared to be of the usual variety that you would expect in resorts of this type.

Definitely NOT a 4* hotel, at best 3*. Shower didn’t work, hairdryer broken.WiFi awful. Pool was dirty with scum and bird pooh. Food was always cold and not appealing. Room definitely needs a revamp, looks old and tatty. At best the entertainment in the evening was good. Definitely would not recommend or stay again
