SBH Costa Calma Beach Resort

Jayne Wood

For context we are sisters aged 54 and 46, we paid £600 each for the week. We were very apprehensive about coming after reading some of the reviews! We came with an open mind and as long as we had the sun and a bed we would be ok. That said, we are having a lovely time! Yes, the rooms are very dated but they are spotlessly clean and the beds are comfy. We don't have a view, we look on to a garden. That has worked out better for us as it's very quiet. The staff we have had interaction with have been lovely (especially the young receptionist on Saturday night) The food is absolutely fine! Plenty of choice and lots of it. We don't drink spirits or cocktails but there is always a queue (5 or 6 people)for those. Usually only 1 or 2 members of staff serving. There are plenty of sunbeds around the resort. Those by the pool aren't the comfiest if you don't get a cushion (could do with more of these) The blue ones, great. There are plenty of toilets dotted about, just not signposted. Again, always clean. The local area is quite isolated. There is a chemist and a couple of shops about a 15/20 minute walk away. That's not the hotels fault! We came to relax and read so are not bothered by that. In short, for £600 would we return? Yes we would!

Last Exit

I came back yesterday, the room had loads of miniature ants in there, they only clean the rooms with water. The staff are very rude. Some of the bar tenders are certainly spiking the drinks in there, as I was speaking to a couple of people, 4 exact where one lady can handle the drinks and essentially, in her own words stated she couldn't remember anything that happen at all but has a hight tolerance, the 2nd person had the same expierance. They where having 2 drinks in there own words (could drink like a fish) and lost account of what happen the next day they were very ill not hungover unwell!! In there own words , 2 other cases that I cannot speak about. Number 2 its supposed to be all inclusive at 11 oclock untill 1 you have to pay for the drinks at the bar so its not all inclusive got a video to prove it. If your a young girl they will bring out trays full of drinks untill your totally intoxicated. I was speaking to a woman and the bar staff turned around very aggressively when i went up and told me she was his woman... so we started speaking and found out even more about there night and the dad and I come to a conclusion they are up to somthing at the night bar with young ladies or they do somthing to the drinks to distance the parents adults from the younger ones. To ..... we dont know exactly.. Im very unhappy at the services they dont have alot to do there its just a massive money making scheme.

Me and my Boyfriend went to this Resort and i can assure you, we absolutely loved it. The location is so great. In front of the beach, it has bars , a wonderful tasty Restaurant open at Mornings Mid day and Afternoons, nice Night programs and Service. I also must say that the Animation team was so great and nice. You could talk with them easily and not just the programs at the day where nice, but even the Rest of the Guest where always friendly and motivated people who had as much fun as we had. A little bit of everything they had there, for kids and adults. (No spoilers) I can totally recommend it if you just want a relaxing and chill Vacation with your Family. Lots of Love on the service people!

Very well located, friendly staff the room was good and clean, everything working fine. A bit of rubbish around the bar but I don’t think hotel should be blamed because of dirty guests. Always saw the staff working hard and trying to clean everything. Pool has a nice size, and have jacuzzi and sauna as well. The only downside for me was the entertainment team.

Absolutely disappointing! The room was old, the bed extremely uncomfortable, and dirty under the sheets. The shower barely worked, making it impossible to wash long hair. The hotel is a mess: trash and dirt were left in the hallways all week, with no one taking care of it. The restaurant was a disaster – dirty glasses, broken coffee machines, and empty drink machines. The food was the same every day, mostly carbs, poorly labeled, completely unsuitable for lactose intolerance or anyone avoiding pork. Tables and dishes were dirty and often not cleared. The pool area was disgusting: I developed a rash, likely due to dirty water or excessive chlorine. Sunbeds were never cleaned, with trash and dishes from previous days underneath. Of the three pools, only one had a lifeguard, who appeared completely unmotivated. This hotel is outdated, unhygienic, and poorly managed in every way. Absolutely not recommended!
