The Hotel is in an elevated location directly on the beach. It is only a 20 minute walk to the marina area but there are plenty bars & restraunts within 5 mins. The hotel is classed as 4* and I would totally agree with this. Spotlessly clean with excellent facilities.

We stayed self catering.

Had a room on the 10th floor overlooking the pool and sea. Excellent. Room a bit small but had everything with Mini kitchen.

We had a few meals at night in hotel . We bought discount tickets for a buffet breakfast. Large choice but some mornings if very busy staff slow on re filling food containers.

Hotel very clean excellent bar/lounge area with piano player in evening. Restaurant had singer on each night. Next door was the moonlight bar with bigger acts, but the downside the prices were high for paying to see unknow performers.

Hotel stff excellent very helpful. My son has been before and going again in 2006.

I shall be returning.

We went to this Hotel as we bought a weeks ownership when we were last in Costa Del Sol.

We were a bit dubious, but the hotel was great. There were a lot of Spanish and a lot of Irish. The kids club was great our two loved it.

The evening entertainment was ok, very loud in the moonlight bar, but good fun. There was activities all day round the pool ie water aerobics, water polo, boules etc.

The Animation team as they were called were great. They all spoke good english and we felt at ease with them.

The room was a one bedroom, although it was quite small it was more than adequate and very well furnished.

Just returned from Sunset beach and would go back again. The hotel was clean and had fresh towels everyday with linen changed twice weekly.

The kitchen area in apartment was small but had everything you needed. The location of Sunset Beach is good - a 15 minute walk to the centre or 30 minutes to the Marina area.

The hotel staff were ok - all Spanish but spoke good English. Whether it was because we went in August and they were particularly busy or not I don't know but we found them unhelpful at times.

Entertainment was good something on every night. Very child friendly hotel, pool area and play area very safe.

Just spent our 3rd family holiday at Sunset Beach. Again we found all the facilities great. Towels were changed daily, & linen twice a week. Kitchen area is small but very well equipped.

We only ate at the restaurant once apart from snacks but the standard was excellent & very good value.

Location may not suit everyone as it is a 15 minute walk to main restaurants along the front & about 30 mins to marina area. This was ideal for us as we enjoy the stroll along after spending all day relaxing around the pool.
Service at the pool bar was slow & seemed badly organised but no more so than other complexes we have stayed at.
There was well organised entertainment throughout the day as well as in the evenings.

Will definately consider going back.

First class holiday/hotel and found the Costa del Sol and the sometimes maligned resorts superb.

Kids absolutely loved every minute (makes for a great holiday for everyone)!

Will definitely consider a return - maybe this year.

Myself and my wife stayed here for an after Christmas cheers up, also the snow was heading towards the UK so we legged it.

Had a fantastic time, room perfect, staff perfect, taxis perfect, the only bit of disappointment was that the hotel were building a pool bar outside our room - Bit distracting - but I am sure all other visitors to this hotel will get the pleasure as it looks really cool!

Will def visit again...

We booked to stay at the sunset beach club as it was rated as a 4 star hotel. I did not find this to be the case. The room had the worst view I have ever had in any hotel anywhere, all you could see was another block about 10 feet in front of you.

The room was dark the whole time, but if you put the lights on then the room opposite could see straight in, so the only option was to keep the curtains closed at all times.

Breakfast was ok, but a very limited selection, not what you expect from 4 stars. Pool area not bad, a bit dirty, but must be on the windiest corner of the costa! Because we went in november we had to get taxis at night as it was very cold once the sun had gone down, and it was quite a long walk to the resort centre.

Car parking sometimes tricky unless you paid 10 euros a night for the hotels own car park. Interior of hotel a bit dated.

The hotel was really clean.

The location was good and easy.

The staff were friendly and the entertainment was brilliant I would go back if you are thinking of going there go it was really good

We visited this resort in peak season (July 2004). It is rated 4 star and I would say it is that at best . Maybe 3 1/2. As I have visited many resorts around the world this resort could do better by American standards. Upon arrival to the hotel it would have been nice to have been greeted by a doorman or at least bellhops to assist with your luggage after having flown across the Atlantic overnight. But alas you are left to yourself to drag your belongings in on your own. Then I understand it may be difficult to have a room ready for check in at 9 in the morning but I would think that the staff would try to expedite your room as soon as possible but once again we sat by the pool until 2:30pm until the room was ready in the heat of day.

Once we got settled in ,things went a bit better. The rooms were very nice and very clean. Kitchenette's were well equiped and to be honest it was nice to have a fridge and a well stocked mini-market on the first floor of a resort. Some cold beer and chips by the pool , purchased at supermarket prices instead of bar prices was a treat.
But truly this is a self service resort. No waiters to take your order in the lounge (belly up to the bar boy's).Hotel staff in general was limited. Also there are no signing charges to your room anywhere so you are constantly having to pay cash as you go or use a credit card.

The pool is crowded as when we visited it was family vacation time and plenty of children were running around. I was fine with it but older persons and seniors may find it loud and annoying.

The beach is next door and across the parking lot. Nothing special and lounge chairs were available for 7 euros. And remember to carry and pay in cash.

Lastly the resorts location was not the best. You will want to go to the marina area where all the action and restaurants are located. But it is a bit far to walk so if you rent a car to get around that would be best. Parking in the marina area was 1 euro/hour.

If I were to travel to this part of the world again which I might I would stay again but again it's best attributes are it's cleanliness and being familiar with it's system of operating.
