 Santa Monica Suites Hotel 

Pool dipping, sand-between-the-toes escape

An environmentally conscious hotel wrapped around Maspalomas’ undulating sand dunes.

Beachfront on Playa del Inglés, Santa Mónica Suites Hotel offers barefoot escape, contemporary rooms and a large pool with sun loungers dipped in fresh waters. At this minimalist pad, you can slink from the sauna to the Chill-Out terrace or return from sun-kissed beach days to dinner in an amber-hued restaurant overlooking the pool.

Why we love Santa Monica Suites Hotel

  • Turn up the heat at the Finnish sauna, complete with tranquil dune views.

  • Try your hand at sandboarding over the Maspalomas Dunes.

  • Grab a board and leash and learn how to surf at Playa del Inglés.

  • Just a 15-minute walk to Yumbo Centrum’s outdoor bars and nightclubs.

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.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have stumbled across this beautiful hotel. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return. The surrounding area of the town was not particularly great but if, like us, you are happy to stay by the pool or travel a little further afield, you wont be disappointed. The rooms were large and well presented. The food was very good indeed, plenty of choice and good quality. Our only little gripe was minimal outside seating areas (ie pool bar and in the evening) but I am guessing in high season the doors and opened up to the seats inside and there is seating at a higher level which apparently is used for the entertainment in high seaon. It seems to me that Jet 2 ask for reviews by using the media of Trip Advisor. I dont know why - it would probably be better to put customers reviews on their own website rather than doing it this way.

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
