SBH Crystal Beach Hotel & Suites - Adults Only

The hotel is in a great location, beach with its fine sand a very long ocean frontage is the place to chill out. All the room have a balcony, safe and quiet environment. Property is very clean and well managed, with wonderful views but the Staff is made my stay truly special. They were attentive, friendly and a joy to be around. I will go back again next year. Cons: The chef cooks absolutely delicious food that I could not resist eating and I put on weight

Recently spent a week at this lovely hotel, on holiday with a couple of friends. A lot of good things to say, plus a couple of negatives. The hotel leads down to a great beach, and is near to a few shops; there's also several bus routes nearby so you can explore some of the island - Morro Jable down the coast is worth a visit. The hotel staff - particularly reception staff - are very friendly and professional; the hotel is very clean throughout; the rooms are spacious, well furnished and comfortable (although I thought the shower heads could do with an upgrade). The restaurant is well organised and the quality and quantity of food is very good. The hotel allocates all guests a specific table for dinner (there are two sittings for dinner) - I booked my trip separately to my friends, so we were allocated different tables as the hotel didn't know we were together - when we asked for a table for the three of us, it was changed immediately. On some holiday websites you may read that there is a charge for WiFi - ignore this, it's now free. WiFi didn't seem to work in the restaurant but throughout the rest of the hotel was fine, including on the beach-level terrace. The negatives: we're used to staying in 4* hotels where they have free soft drinks at dinner, with a serve-yourself dispenser for water / coke etc (pay for beer and wine). However, there are no free drinks at dinner, and no tap water available when we asked. In the UK, tap water in restaurants is becoming the norm, if requested. Here water is over 3 Euro for a small bottle (33cl) which we thought was expensive. The other negative which I've never come across in 50+ years of staying in good hotels, is that if you use a sachet of tea or coffee in your room, you're charged for it. So overall, I'd recommend the hotel and the location, but take some of your own teabags / coffee (the teabags make very weak tea!). I'm interested to know what other guests think about what I've put for my "negatives" - whether you agree or not. I would visit the hotel again in spite of my negative points.

Lovely hotel, staff where friendly and helpful. I booked a room with sea view, the view of the beach from the balcony was beautiful. Room was cleaned everyday. I booked half board, I had breakfast and evening meal. Food was really good, lots to choose from. I travel Solo at the evening meal I was put on a table with other solo guest which I was not sure about for the first few nights, as the people on my table were having conversations in German which was uncomfortable for me as I do not speak German. it would have been nice for staff to let you know before hand. I was glad that the others on the table realised and started to speak to me. Pool and bar area was lovely really peaceful and lots of sun lounges. Evening entertainment was good, when I was there one night they had a female group singing Soul and one night a male group singing Motown both were really good. Bar area is quite small so there was a few people talking when the groups where singing which spoil it for others trying to watch the groups. Overall I enjoyed my stay there it was lovely. Big thanks to all the staff especially the cleaners who keep the rooms and hotel spotless, and the Chef and kitchen staff food was excellent. Thank You.

If you want peace and quiet, this is a great place to stay. The hotel is very clean and tidy and staff are friendly. There are areas of the hotel which do appear dated but it is not a brand new hotel therefore this could be expected. Food in restaurant was good. Shops just a 2 minute walk away. Overall we had a lovely week visit and would return again without doubt.

If you want a relaxing break in a beautiful setting on the beach then a stay at the SBH Crystal Beach Hotel we would highly recommend. This is our third visit and the following is applicable to all three visits. This hotel is very clean every room has a balcony and your room is serviced every day excellently. We stayed in a sea view suite which was large bedroom bathroom and sitting room. These rooms have a very large balcony furnished with table and chairs, sun loungers with small table and the ground is covered in artificial grass. From your balcony the view is fantastic, you are overlooking the lovely pool area and also the full length of the beautiful beach. The hotel is small in comparison to neighbouring hotels the entertainment is limited as is the facilities perhaps, but as previously stated if you want to chill out this hotel we think is unbeatable. We were half board, breakfast was very good, as was dinner with a good selection of dishes and the food very well cooked and presented. The waiting staff in the restaurant were very attentive, always pleasant and made your dining experience very enjoyable. We would again like to say a big thank you to the reception staff who are excellent. Of course during our three stays a few small problems arose but with no hesitation and absolutely no bother the staff sorted them quickly so as not to cause any impact on our enjoyment of our holiday. If your looking for a lively busy, resort with many restaurants, bars, shops and places of entertainment we couldn’t recommend the Costa Calma area which has none of the these. If you only want a beautiful beach, lovely weather, an excellent hotel and a stay of total relaxation then give the SBH Crystal Beach Hotel a try.

Check in was fast and efficient. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and explained everything I needed for my stay. I had booked half board for 5 nights as a solo traveler. Room. My room was a large twin room for sole occupancy. I had the choice of two small queen size beds. The bed was comfortable but the pillows could've been better to suit my preference. A seating area, large bathroom with bath shower bidet toilet and plenty of towels. Shower gel and soap provided and a hairdryer was available. The balcony was huge and had astro turf flooring plus a table and chairs and the most amazing view over the sea. Facing east I was able to watch the sunrise in the mornings. Stunning. The balcony was also very private. No one overlooking me as I was on the side on the top floor. I was unable to hear any noise from the bar area here too. There is a kettle for use. And a fridge. Tea coffee water are provided but these are not complimentary, so I bought a small jar of coffee in the shop across the street. There is also a safe in the room which you pay €4.5 per day. Pooloutside Very quiet and clean. Plenty of loungers and close to the bar. It's on the 6th floor with great views over the bay. You can walk down to the beach it overlooks. Down the steps lift to the ground floor you will find more loungers on a sandy terrace which leads you directly to the beach. There are pool side activities such as aqua exercise and yoga etc should you choose to join in. Bar. Friendly staff. Everything was signed for using my room number and I paid the bill at the end of my stay. This was hotel policy. There is an entertainment program with different actsevents each night. Restaurant. On my first night when I arrived for dinner I was told I would be seated with other solo travelers. This might suit some but not me so I politely declined and requested a table for one which they granted without any questions. The staff where friendly and helpful. The buffet had plenty of choice to suit all tastes. I ordered a bottle of red wine with my meal and as I didn't drink it all, was able to have it put aside for the next night. Drinks are payable extra at meal times on half board booking. You are allocated a table for your stay and a meal time from a choice of two seatings. I was given the early time 1730_1900. The second seating is 1930_2100. You can change if you don't like the allocation, the staff are very accommodating. Summer dining times are a little later. Breakfast seating is unallocated and again plenty of choice. This includes soy on dairy milks and yogurts and a vast array of breads and fruit in addition to the usual omelet bar, hot food selection and continental options. I don't eat meat or eggs so I can't attest to the quality of these options but the choices I had were good at breakfast. I will be honest and say the dinner choices although various were hit and miss, but I think that's standard for buffet style dining. I have no compl
