Sbh Hotel Royal Monica Playa Blanca , Playa Blanca (Lanzarote)

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite spacious and had a good sea view, but the basic cleanliness was noticeable, and paying extra for a view might be worth it if you prefer better scenery. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the issue with the chief receptionist was disappointing. The location was quiet and nicely located near the beach, although limited dining options and a lack of direct seafront views were a drawback.

The hotel is located at the furthest end of Playa Bianca, offering a lovely and relaxing setting with ample sun loungers leading down to the beach. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a large balcony, though they are somewhat dated. The service is excellent, especially in the food hall, with hard-working staff happy to assist with any requests. The dining experience is remarkable, presenting a beautiful spread for special occasions like New Year's Eve. Despite being the last hotel in the area, the location provides a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for families with small kids. The selection of dishes is diverse and satisfying for various nationalities. Enjoying a variety of meat and fish dishes alongside pastas and paellas is a culinary delight. At a minimum 20-minute walk to the town center, it's convenient to take an early morning stroll before breakfast. The facilities offer car hire, dry cleaning, laundry, and tours or ticket assistance for added convenience.

The hotel is located about a 45-minute walk into the center of Playa Blanca, offering a lovely walk along the promenade with ample sun loungers and a pool bar that stays open day and night. The rooms are spacious with large balconies, and the hotel is closest to the beach but a bit of a distance from the town. The dining experience provides freshly cooked meals but has limited options, and the service, while mainly German-speaking, is friendly and attentive to tidiness. Price-wise, the communal areas offer free Wi-Fi.
