We stayed for a week at the Hotel Costa Calma Bech Resort, the weather was amazing, the views from the terrace overlooked in the beach and sea were amazing. The pools were lovely and clean, the sunbeds were comfy and clean etc... The resort itself is very quiet with few amenities and only a couple of restaurants but as we were all inclusive that didnt really matter. The hotel was clean and tidy, the rooms are OK, but, could do with a bit of updating though. The food was a bit hit and miss, very continental , not alot for the kids either, our son lived on chips, pizza and pasta, not to mention hot dogs and burgers - not the healthiest of food.
This resort is very geared up for the Germans, Dutch and Belgiums as well as of course the Spanish
We were All Inclusive, which actually worked very well. The hotel is completely geared up to All Inclusive cos thats all they offer, apart from a few self catering apartments. My Husband and Son took advantage of the FREE tennis but, dont bother booking the FREE Tapas unless you want to trek to another hotel to have it (no one told us this vital piece of information, even reception who we booked it with, so when we told the waiter at our table he look bemused - of course he did cos the restaurant that served it was 30 minutes away - hence we didnt have any tapas!!)
Now to the things that annoyed us...Very few of the staff spoken proper English, it was more of a pigeon attempt, so alot was lost in translation, I found one particular receptionist called Benjamin (german) very rude - what happened to the customer always been right, watch out for him!! It was clear he didnt like English customers and was completely unhelpful, he also gave us wrong information on several occasions. We hired a car for a day to look around the Island, but had to wait 1 hour to collect it from the car rep based at reception who like the receptionist spoke little english. Apart from the tourist resorts this Island doesnt have alot to see. If we went there again we'd stay in Jandia at the Bottom of the Island, much more geared up for the tourists with loads of bars, restaurants, and lovely shops galore and plenty to do for the kids.Remember though cos the Euro is now worth about 80p shopping will seem more expensive!! .Go to Costa Calma if you want a quiet, peaceful holiday if you dont try Jandia (upmarket resort) or Costa Caleta (shades of little britain in places!) ENJOY!

We spent two weeks in this hotel and thought that generally the hotel and pool areas were very clean and the access to the beach was fantastic, however it was very difficult to get a sun lounger anywhere near the pool as they were always covered with towels!!! We felt that because we were not German the staff were not really interested in us.

Luckily we had arranged to go self catering, as we tried the breakfast in the hotel and it was not very nice (very much catered for Germans!).

The resort itself was nice and we found a couple of lovely restaurants where the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

We stayed here for a week in the sun. The hotel amenities are good there are a number of pools and is located on the beach. The hotel staff were ok but you needed to choose carefully. We were self catering and found that the rooms although roomy had the thinnest walls ever - so much so you could hear your neighbours snoring. The apartment appeared a little run down with some need for painting and general up keep and most disappointing was the quality of the bathroom towels which smelt!!-to the extent I could not wipe my body with them as the smell was rife. To top it off I had the worst Pina Colada of my life!

We have visited this hotel on a number of occasions since 2003, both as a couple and with our (teenaged) children. Needless to say, we are very impressed with the hotel as a whole.
The hotel is situated at the end of a large bay and is right on the beach, where guests can use the hotel's (free) sun loungers. There are also 2 large swimming pools and a children's pool within the hotel complex. Lunch can be eaten in the hotel restaurant, though we preferred to eat at the outside bar adjacent to the beach.
Breakfast and lunchtime meals were consistently good, though we were a little disappointed with the evening meals this year. In previous years, there has been a large choice of food on each night, most of this being of a very high quality and certainly no scrimping on cost. However, this year the meals appear to be based upon a theme: Chinese, Italian, American, Mexican night etc.
This is all well and good, but we found that the choice was extremely limited on some nights and if you did not care for the night's food, well there was always - salad.
Having said all that, the hotel is still to be recommended.
The staff are excellent, the rooms well kept and I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a laid-back relaxing holiday.
There is some entertainment in the evenings, which we have never particularly enjoyed, but, each to his own!
The majority of the guests are German, but we have found that we have encountered polite, rude, friendly and unfriendly people of many nationalities at this hotel.
Recommended - long walks down the beach, the beach looks better the further you go. Check out the chipmunks along the way in the rocks!
