Santa Monica Suites Hotel

Just returned from a perfect weeks stay at Santa Monica suites, it was just perfect, we arrived before our check in time and received a very warm welcome, was so surprised with an upgrade to a room on floor 5 which was just breathtaking, it was like looking at a picture of the sea and dunes. The room was clean, fresh and so big, bathroom was also amazing with the best shower I’d ever used. We used the gates on the corners of terrace to access bars and restaurants also to get to the beach. Despite the hotel being full the pool area was also tranquil and sun loungers readily available. Staff were friendly, attentive and the breakfast catered for everyone’s needs. We enjoyed this hotel so much we are going back next year, excellent value for money.

Beautiful stylish hotel. Hypnotic view on the sand dunes and beach from the 5th floor from the cosy balcony. Friendly staff. The buffet at breakfast and dinner is offering an incredible wide variety of choices including traditional food. The hotel is fitted in an intelligent way into the surrounding topology, the pool area is relatively low compared to the surroundings which is protecting from wind. The pool is nice, it was never too full.

Third visit to this hotel and already booked for next year. The hotel was fully booked but still managed to fell relaxed and chilled. Our ground floor room had easy access to the pool and direct access to the beach. Enjoyed the buffet breakfast with plenty of choice rounded off with cava. All staff were friendly and professional, looking forward to next year’s visit

Great hotel, very quite, friendly staff. Cleaning can be a bit better because there where many hairs on the floor. Lovely pool with more then enough sunbeds. Breakfast wow what a lovely beginning off the day. Even a sparkling wine is presented. We will come back!

Same procedure like any year, I could copy paste the same review each year. Best hotel, best staff, best location. There is absolutely nothing to complain about except the WiFi - really - drives me nuts. However, since I am on vacations I can handle that one, but some room for improvement for sure. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the beds really cozy, the room-cleaning perfect and fast and the staff in General absolutely friendly. Already at check-in you get a very warm Welcome with a glas of Cava - perfect investment to make this hotel special. The breakfast is outstanding. A broad choice of everything you expect. I ate much worse at five star rated luxury hotels for more money! The buffet in the evening for dinner ist okay, exactly what you can expect for buffet I would rate. That hotel is simply perfect. See you next year again!

This is a hotel that is not exceptional in any way, but since it consistently ticks all the boxes as "Very Good", I give it 5 stars in total. - Room and amenities: Very good. We had a room at the 4th floor. There is no need to pay extra for 5th floor, since 4th floor gives you great views over the dunes and ocean too. Wouldn't go to a lower floor though (maybe 3rd floor could just work). Good sleep quality, with decently sound-proofed rooms and very good mattresses. On a Saturday night, you will hear some noise from a nearby Playa del Ingles bar, and the concerts at the hotel on some evenings are also a nuisance, but generally it is a quiet hotel. The best thing: no music by the pool! Not a lot of children either, which is a good thing for those looking for a quiet experience. Lots of loungers at the pool so no jostling for space. Pool hours fine, you could also swim in the evening if you like/if weather permits. - Location: Very good. Everybody knows this part of Gran Canaria is very touristy, but since this hotel is right on the border between tacky Playa del Ingles and more up-scale Maspalomas/Meloneras, you get the nice views and better quality of Maspalomas, but at a lower price. - Food: Very good. Do not expect exceptionally good food, but the quality is decent enough and there is a large choice. Every evening had a different food theme, so the variety was good. I recommend the half-board (breakfast and dinner) arrangement, it doesn't add too much to the price and most restaurants in the neighbourhood are not offering better fare anyway. For 4 nights, this was fine. - Price/quality. Very good. Cheaper than hotels in Meloneras, better than hotels in Playa del Ingles. You can rent by day even in high season, which is great, so you can combine your stay here with some days at another location. We stayed a few days at the Parador in the mountains which was fantastic, but also Puerto de Mogan, Galdar or Las Palmas would make a nice combination
