SBH Monica Beach Resort

We had an excellent stay at SBH Monica Beach Resort. The location is unbeatable – right on the beachfront with a wonderful golden sand beach and beautiful ocean views. Our room was spacious with a sofa, large balcony, and French doors that opened to stunning sea views. It was clean, comfortable, and we appreciated the complimentary sparkling wine on arrival. The hotel’s architecture is also a highlight – it blends well with the surroundings without looking like a massive concrete block, giving it a more eco-friendly and welcoming feel. The resort is very family-oriented with plenty of activities for kids. There are pools with slides, daily entertainment by the pool (games, music, and dance), and evening programs in the clubhouse, which we enjoyed. While we spent most of our time swimming in the ocean and snorkeling, there are also multiple pools, a gym, tennis courts, and billiards. My personal routine was morning runs along the beach followed by a dip in the sea – absolutely refreshing. The beach itself is stunning, with soft golden sand and clear blue waters. Sunbeds on the public beach are rented out by local authorities (around €15/day for two beds), but within the resort there are plenty of free sunbeds and gazebos if you prefer to relax while overlooking the beach. We were on the all-inclusive plan and found the food and drink options abundant and varied. There were grilled meats, freshly fried fish, pizzas, pastas, salads, desserts, fresh fruits, and more. Drinks included tap wine, beer, soft drinks, and a good selection of cocktails – I particularly enjoyed the mojitos and vodka-lime. Restaurant staff welcomed us warmly at the entrance every day, which was a wonderful touch, and bartenders were equally friendly and smiling. Booking directly on the hotel website was easy and straightforward. We also arranged the airport transfer through the hotel (€80 return for two people), which was efficient and about an hour’s drive. Our 8-day stay from August 14–24 was blessed with perfect weather – around 25°C with pleasant winds, making it comfortable for long days on the beach. A couple of areas could be improved: the front desk could provide clearer, more helpful information, and the hotel should consider offering complimentary bottled water or at least filtered water refill stations. Overall, this was an excellent holiday and I would highly recommend SBH Monica Beach Resort. The beachfront location at Costa Calma is outstanding, the facilities are great, and the staff made the experience even better. I would definitely return.

A mixed bag to be honest. The hotel isn't bad, so don't immediately discount a visit. The location and beach are fantastic. The rooms are a bit tired and dated - someone had been let loose with some silicone sealant in our bathroom and you could tell. Just minor repairs here and there would make a big difference. 2 out of 3 urinals in the main reception were bagged over and out of use all week whilst we were there. In the smaller pool toilets, tiles were hanging off the wall (could have hurt a child if they fell). There was also a big electrical unit near the toilets that was uncovered and could easily have been messed with. The pools are great, the kids love the slide one. The restaurant is both good and bad. Good - great selection of food, something different most days...the pizzas are great. Bad - I was served raw pork one day and nobody seemed bothered (and I mean raw). Also, my wife is GF and the staff were putting products with gluten in under the GF sign. Again, when this was pointed out, they weren't bothered. You have to ask for GF bread in a morning (which my wife says is good), but no other products were offered. Then on the last day, they gave GF muffins, donuts and cakes! Families of 4 or more struggle to get a table because of selfish people (singular or couples) sitting at tables of 4. The safe is a €20 deposit and you need a little device to stick in to activate it. The glasses for the drinks are frustratingly small. I know that's probably to discourage binge drinking, but it'd be good if they were a bit bigger. The entertainment and animation team were good. I know it sounds like I'm slating it, but it is worth visiting. The area is nice, the beach is perfect. Visit it.

10th May for a week Lovely hotel and helpful smiley staff. Yes there is a slope to the beach but manageable with a few rests as my husband had recently had a double heart bypass. Pools lovely and food had a good choice. Quiet time for the hotel so lots of sunbed choices Had a great time

What an amazing holiday for my 50th birthday. From start to finish the holiday went so smoothly. The flights and transfers were right on time to the lovely destination. SBH Monica Beach Resort is set on the stunning Playa Jandia beach in Costa Calma. South of the gorgeous island that is Fuerteventura. We stayed for 7 nights from 02/04/25 - 09/04/25 and opted for the all inclusive package. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious and had a lovely terrace seating area. It was a 5 minute walk (through the resort) to the beach. We enjoyed fabulous weather ranging from 26'C on the day that we landed and steadily increased to 34'C on the day that we left. The food was amazing with so much choice (I'm vegetarian and there were so many options) and lots of available seating too. The drinks options within our package were great too. Amstel lager on tap, lovely white wine, Cava and a great selection of cocktails too. As well as a great selection of non alcoholic drinks. All the staff were very professional, friendly and efficient. I would have no hesitation in booking again 5* A+++

The hotel is terrible. Dirty, cockroaches in the rooms. They promised to move me and the receptionist did not keep his word,when i came to reception and ask to be mooved as they promised they said no. I killed a bunch of cockroaches in the room, they came to remove them only the next day after the call from the TUI employee. Horrible!! They haved some free rooms but they refuse to moove me. Very bad hotel!!Also when i found cockroaches in my room i told to reception that somebody need to come and clean bathroom,because i kill some cockroaches Aftet 20 minutes somebody came and put only towels,but didnt celan anything. When i came to the room when houskeeping left i found again 2 or 3 big cockroaches in bathroom,so thats mean,they put only towels and didnt clean anything. I call tui and they call to reception and reception said that somebody will come again. But nobody came. I am affraid of this animals its also not hygienic. I was so sad and affraid to sleep in room , that i was sitting alone outside intill 2 in the morning. Than, i wake up at 7 in the morning and went sleep on sunbeds,because it was some cockroaches in the room. First day when i so them and ask to be mooved it was no empty rooms and reception promise me to moove me tomorrow but when i came they refuse it, even when somebody from tui was calling them. I just wanted to be mooved do any room without animals. In that day they haved some free rooms,but nobody mooved me. Very sad.
