⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing stay in Costa Calma!
SBH monica resort beach is one of the best hotels in Costa Calma without a doubt. The location is absolutely perfect — right on the beach, which makes it a 9/10 experience from the moment you arrive. Waking up with the ocean so close is something special.
The food deserves a big shoutout. I honestly had the best seafood and cheese pasta of my life here — compliments to the chef! Every meal felt fresh and high quality.
The hotel itself is very large and well organized. If you’re planning to relax and enjoy the hotel facilities, I highly recommend booking an ocean-view room — the view is worth it. If you’re planning to explore the island during the day, the room view matters less, but the comfort is still great.
What really made the stay stand out was the staff. The manager and reception team are true professionals and know exactly how to help guests if any problem comes up. The animation team is also fantastic — full of energy and always creating a fun and positive atmosphere.
And a special mention to the housekeepers and guest room attendants. They work hard every day, pushing heavy carts and keeping everything spotless. It’s not an easy job, and their effort definitely deserves appreciation.
We had an issue with the light in the bathroom, and the maintenance technician came to assist us. He was a very kind and professional person, and he replaced the light within a few minutes.
Also, the team working outside cutting the trees did a wonderful job. In the end, all of them together have created something that truly feels like a paradise on earth. When you look at the island, you realize that about 90% of the it was originally just desert full of sand, yet they have managed to transform it beautifully
Overall: great location, excellent food, professional staff, and a fantastic atmosphere.
I would definitely come back to SBH Monica resort and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Calma!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was great, and the location close to the beach was a big plus. The people were very friendly — I even met some lovely guests from Germany, and there were quite a few of them.
The only small downside was that the walk from the bungalow to the restaurant was a bit long, and the path led through another resort area, but it was still manageable.
Both lunch and dinner were good, and overall I’m very satisfied with my stay. I just came back today and I can say I had a wonderful time with my sister. I definitely recommend this hotel!

Really happy with the holiday, next to the sandy beach, 3 bars, one overlooking the sea open till 3pm. One pool bar and one in the evening. Drinks are ok, cheap brands, cocktails not delicious at all. Breakfast every day the same, but lunch and dinner are fantastic, various dishes, seafood, cheeses, pork, goat, chicken, many salad options. Room was ok, I couldn't open the patio door and bathroom door was noisy to close. Air con worked well. All the staff very polite, smiling, professional, housekeepers, receptionists, animation team, waiters. There is a market on a Sunday just across a road. Nothing much to do in the area. Took around an hour to get to from the airport. Plenty of activities during the day, archery, rifle shooting, ping pong etc. There is a sport centre right next to the hotel, with free gym, paid minigolf and paid tennis court. Evening entertainment hit and miss, your usual bingo, dancing, white party. Kids club available. Plenty of sun beds, no wars, and this was during the half term. 2 swimming pools, one with the slide. One small shop with souvenirs and rent a car available. Public toilets clean. I havent see a single cockroach the whole week.

All of our cash was stolen from our hotel room. At reception, we were told that nobody except us and the hotel staff had entered the room. Guests are being robbed while the management turns a blind eye to it. I regret not reading the reviews earlier, because I am clearly not the first person whose cash was stolen from the room.
After the theft, I was honestly scared to stay in the room because it became obvious how easy it was for someone to get inside. The key card for our room constantly stopped working, and we had to go to reception again and again to reactivate it.
The man at the reception desk was very rude and did not even apologize. The restaurant staff were friendly and the food was good, but that does not make up for the terrible experience.
The refrigerator was dirty, there was mold on the bathroom window, and the bed linen was never changed — the staff only made the bed without replacing the sheets.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and I will never return.

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place so I’d like to share my experiences . The food is lovely and very worth the all inclusive me personally I’m really picky but their lunch / meal options are delicious . They have changing rotations of food every night . Although the food changes they’res always fresh pizza and chip with amazing salad option s and many choices of breads as well as some nights having a great selection of seafood including fresh prawns and oysters (great for sea food lowers as amazing options ) . They have ice cream which is delicious and creamy . The entertainment is quite good for younger ages and some nights older . The entertainment team is kind funny and helpful along with the rest of the staff . One problem though is we did notice after the cleaners had been out charger our wasn’t their which we still dont know weather was an accident or not we went to the shop to discover their 40 euros other than that great workers . The pools are great as one of the main 2 is heated and the other isn’t so you can change depending on how you’re feeling . Also just want to make sure for anyone reading this who is considering booking the slides are quite slow for anyone over the age of 12 due to them not being powerful enough and quite slow at that age due to ruff weight . Our only complaint is our room is quite far witch seems to be a different hotel or apartment complex merged into the SBH one which is quite the walk to meals but it’s quiet and mainly our fault as we booked a suit instead of a room but would have preferred some warning when booking . Also theirs a bus stop to the zoo really easy accessible and i would recommend the zoo 100% . Overall great food , great service , close to the beach and o would recommend to anyone planning on booking !!
