A pitty to say but Monica Suites is not the actual 9/10 worth. 1. Front desk (Reception) cannot find solution for non-standard questions. Very nice people but that is not enough, the customer wants a solution. 2. Our room was on the ground floor (which was perfect) but … from each side of the terrace we had neighbours who were smoking from the morning till the evening. So no use of the terrace for us, we are non smokers. Even for this Monica Suites can find a solution if they make separate zones. When you are the floors you will have the same problem. 3. Next to the restaurant tables, there are high tables for smoking people. Sorry but here again there are zones to put these tables.

Hotel for smokers only. Or for people who like to breath with cigarette smoke. The hotel is situated in some sort of small valley between dunes and the city. It favors smoke to cumullate inside. In result when you are sitting on your terrace or balcony you are breathing cigarette smoke starting from 10 AM ending late at night. This is the worst situation where I ever been when it comes to smoking. Apart from that: - meals are OK - hotel staff is friendly and helpful - rooms are spacy and looking good

Super Hotel from start to finish. Room are exceptionally clean and very spacious with stunning views. Staff are super and the food is excellent. This Hotel of ideal spot for rest and relaxation. It’s so peaceful and well maintained. If you like a venue with no kids this is the spot for you:

Fabulous hotel, My suite was amazing a very big room with lounge area. Lovely rain shower. Separate toilet. All staff very helpful and friendly. Expensive for 1 person but it was worth it.

This hotel has amazing views of the dunes and sea. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Breakfast was a good choice and variety of food to choose from. Staff was very knowledgeable of the area and friendly. Would recommend.

Great location, good service and one of the best breakfasts ever. Big disappointment in Ala carte restaurant was the Stone-cooked beef entrecôte, that was one of the worst steaks we have ever eaten and we love steak. Both, my wife and daughter had it and comments were same. I rearely complain about the food, but this time had to do it and waiter took it professionally but unfortinately the mood was spoiled for us. To finnish this review have add that room was great with a comphy bed, pillows and with the working cleaning service. All in all everything worked becides that one food incident.

Propably one of the best hotels on Gran Canaria. The location is unique as it is right on the Maspalomas beach. No other hotel is basically on the dunes. Service 100% and excellent food. We stayed during new years and of course it was expensive but so worth it. Spoil your self and stay here next time you visit sunny Maspalomas!

Probably more 3.5* but while the staff were nice, rooms super clean and in a good location. There were two issues mainly 1) the food, was really really bad, we had half board and the quality was just so poor. Undercooked, over cooked, poor quality, weird taste… it’s was bad from start to finish. We ended up having to eat out most nights to get something nice 2) Wi-Fi was super frustrating, it didn’t work 70/80% of the time.

Clean, cozy place and excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Like a 5 star hotel but not stuffy. Long trousers requested for Dinner though. Accessible as far as I saw.

Wifi was absolute trash but food,location and rooms were nice.

Beautiful renovated hotel with beautiful view to the Dunes . Perfect for a couple getaway or friends who just want to disconnect and have a relaxing time. The rooms are spacious. & clean & great views to the pool & Dunes . The pool is fantastic and relaxing . The food in the restaurant is great with good prices and excellent service for lunch . The evening buffet varies with themed meals.The plus is the direct access to the Dunes & the views . Not ideal for kids above 5 years as area is not suitable for them to go . First because no facilities for them to play ( only a small kids area under 4) . The area around is not ideal for them as more oriented to couples & gay community. Nothing major around for them .

1. Our gastronomical experience. My boyfriend and I enjoyed and savoured the dishes that were served for dinner. They have different menu every night that will satisfy everyones hunger. I remember looking forward everyday for dinner. A round of applause for their buffet 👏 The breakfast buffet is also a delight. I love that they have an enormous fresh orange juicer. 2. The friendly atmosphere from all the staffs that work in the Hotel👍👍👍 3. The location of the hotel is just amazing. After checking-in on our 1st day there, we went direct to see the Sand Dunes just in front of the hotel. The vibes of the hotel is also very relaxing. 4. The facilities and our room were clean.

Great service Great food Great location Sea and dunes view from upper floors (4 and 5) 5 minutes walk to the beach Rooms are clean and have a modern look and feel

Amazing location overlooking the sand dunes and a really close walk to restaurants and little shops to get the essentials. Staff were excellent, very friendly and approachable. Breakfast buffet was delicious and never left us feeling hungry. The pool area was very peaceful with plenty of sunbeds to spare with large umbrellas so always enough room for shade for 2 people. The beach was a 1 minute walk away and was the best beach on the island. Bar food and drinks were exceptional and service was very quick and easy. Only small issue was the WiFi would cut out sometimes but was sufficient for a couple weeks stay. They had live music in the evening all nights except Sunday. You could hear it on the balcony which was nice but as soon as you went back in your room you could not hear it which was perfect. Was very close to a bus stop which you can easily travel around the whole island. Would highly recommend the hotel.

I came here now 4 times and the location is perfect (one of the closest hotels to the beach which is not common in GC). Staff is very friendly and the rooms are good and quite luxury. The beds are two beds which are connected, prefer a double bed with one matress to be honest. Gym is small but effective.

BEST HOTEL EVER!! This hotel was exemplary. The service was incredible and there was a lovely selection at breakfast. The pool is much bigger than the photos make it seem and there was plenty of sun beds to go around. When booking the hotel I mentioned myself and my fiancé had just got engaged, the put balloons in the bedroom as well as a banner, they also brought us champagne and chocolate covered strawberries - it was so thoughtful. The hotel is also a perfect location to the dunes and I find the beach to be the best one in Gran Canaria! The hotel is near lots of shops and getting the bus to explore is easy as it’s 5 mins walk from the hotel. The rooms are also kept very clean and the general hotel is lovely. The staff are also amazing!! I cannot recommend this hotel enough. There are only a few minor issues - wifi isn’t too great and I had to use my data most of the time - however being right on the dunes I didn’t expect the best wifi! - the beds are two single beds pushed together. This didn’t bother us but it’s worth noting. - the majority of people staying here are German so all tv channels are in German. Again this didn’t bother us, but it’s worth noting. PLEASE STAY HERE!! 💗

Everything is awesome! From the reception, cleaning team, rooms, servers at the restaurant, to the food, everything is impeccable! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you for making our stay a unique experience! Cheers from Morocco, Rida and Imane

Simply the best hotel we have stayed at in years. Friendly and efficient staff, spotlessly clean and amazing breakfast choice. We will definitely be coming back here. Fifth floor rooms have amazing views of the dunes and sea.

Nothing to criticize. The location and view is spectacular. The staff is extremely well trained and managed. The rooms are very nice. Key suggestion is to reserve a sea view room. You will not be disappointed.

fantastic location, empty beach in the middle of the season and 7 people at the pool

One of the best hotels in the area and highly recommended . Choose 4th or 5th floor for beautiful views over the dunes and the ocean. The buffet breakfast has a lot of choice and food in general is good. The rooms are big and very comfortable, the highlight being the shower. A minor annoyance was the wifi wasn’t always reliable. As a bonus, there are often two beautiful cats near the property

Nice reception and clean rooms. The view of the dunes from the 5th floor is really great. Drinks don’t get more than one star because Pina Colada only practically contained a lot of alcohol. Breakfast and dinner good.

Very good hotel and great service! People are very friendly and gentle. Hotel restaurant is good and they have also a service at the pool. So you can enjoy and relax.. read and drink… the dessert idea is also very nice.. have a great walk at the beach and a dive in the ocean. Enjoy!

We stayed at Santa Monica Suites, our second visit, from June 1st to 15th 2022. The hotel is truly excellent. Everything is very well designed, of high quality, comfortable and spotless. The location is also excellent. We found no faults! We arrived very late (around midnight). Reception staff were quick and efficient, and we were soon eating our pre-ordered cold meal. Our requests were dealt with very well by the reception team throughout. This time we opted for both breakfast and dinner buffet – a very good decision, meaning that we did not have to rush off to find somewhere to eat at the end of the day. The food was excellent in quality, with many and varied choices available. There was a good selection of reasonably-priced wines. The serving and waiting staff were unfailingly pleasant, attentive and helpful. Vegetarian options were freely available in the dinner buffet during the week, which is not our usual experience in Spain. On our first Saturday, the selection of cheeses was completely replaced by fish, leaving no vegetarian protein available apart from in banana fritters, although there was plenty of salad. In our second week, therefore, one of us made an advance choice from the vegan menu which had been provided on arrival (zucchini stuffed with tofu and mushrooms) for the Saturday – an excellent choice. The staff on that Sunday also anticipated, offered, and rustled up a vegan wrap without any need for booking in advance, which was very much appreciated. Restaurant management could perhaps consider using clearer vegetarian labelling – sometimes the item description left this in doubt. Also there could perhaps be better compartmentalisation – if vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods are presented next to each other in a buffet, then cross-contamination will occur. We used and enjoyed the pool area several times. Although the hotel was rather busy during our stay, there were always plenty of recliners and sunshades available. We took advantage of the pool bar a few times, generally when we returned to the hotel after a day’s hike. Service was always quick and courteous. We used the wellness centre too, and both of us thoroughly recommend Suzy’s pedicure. All-in-all this was an excellent holiday for us. It was pleasing to see that some small improvements had been made since our previous visit, particularly moving the smokers away from immediately outside the restaurant to the opposite side of the pool. Attention had also been paid to slippery areas around the pool. Clearly the management is responsive to feedback – and it shows! Thank you.

Very generous breakfast buffet. If you want a nice view on the ocean and the dunes make sure you ask for any room that’s on the third floor or above. The rooms are very nicely decorated the couch is very comfortable all rooms are in Suite style so you will find more than enough space to be comfortable. However I think that the construction and architecture of the hotel is left to be desired because if you are looking to sleep quietly in the morning after 9 AM, it will be very difficult. The cleaning staff makes a lot of noise and there is no noise cancellation/ isolation which can cause a Cacophony if all adjacent guests wake up at the same time. I might return to this hotel only if I bring earplugs.

Maspalomas shows, in many respects , the worst mass- tourism has to offer. It lacks class and style has no authentism or atmosphere. But if you end up here The Santa Mónica Suites Hotel is absolutely not a bad place to stay. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is friendly, the pool and breakfast buffet are great.

The moon is rising over the Santa Mónica Suites Hotel. We've been there for several times. We can recommend it.

An excellent choice for a quiet family break. Stylish rooms with a privileged view over the Dunes of Maspalomas. Great choice at the breakfast buffet and high standard service. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Fantastic hotel, location fab, very friendly service and really good cuisine !

Pros: very well placed, Great welcome, very helpful staff, very nice hôtel, well maintained, good food Cons : very fresh water in the swimming pool. 30 German TV chains, but none in french ! (only 2, not functional)

Location directly at the beach, but still 15 minutes to go to the beach. Rooms and Hotel very clean, staff is very friendly. The restaurant is the only negative point on the list, the quality of the food is o.k. not a highlight, but good. My real concern is the restaurant, it is too small and feels more like a fast food restaurant with very small tables. Not a place where I want to have a nice relaxing dinner or breakfast. But as said this is the only negative point and I wish they would change this, everything else is really nice and the Hotel earns a honest recommendation
