Sahara Sunset

We are sad to say it is our last day but we are so happy we chose to stay here. Everyone from the reception, restaurant, supermarket and cleaners have been so friendly and welcoming. As a family of five with two young boys and a baby there has been something for everyone. The children have loved spending time in the children’s pool, we have eaten at the restaurant twice which was lovely and the supermarket had everything we needed for the apartment. I requested a ground floor apartment and a cot for my little one which we received and on arrival I requested a high chair which they accommodated straight away. There were two evenings of entertainment during our stay and each one was fantastic. We will absolutely be returning and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Sahara Sunset for making our stay so wonderful.

We were there on vacation in May 2025 and had an amazing stay...the Sahara Sunset proved to be an excellent resort for us due to the location nearby to everything, shopping, restaurants, beach and supermarket. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful and provided us with a list of things to do and see in the area along with the various excursions (Ronda, Gibraltar and Tangier, Morocco along with the local flea markets..can't wait to come again! The view from our resort room was nothing nothing but spectacular.

We unfortunately had two poorly children on our holiday (nothing to do with resort). The front desk were quick at signposting us to the nearest hospitals and asking whether we needed a taxi. The housekeeping staff were incredible. Coming late at night to bring us bedding and helping clean. They even came in and done an extra clean for us and were very thorough. One housekeeper even asked the front desk the next day to ring us to make sure our girls were okay which was lovely. We had a two bed apartment and it was spacious and clean with a big balcony. The only downside was there was no lift and we had a pushchair. Close to everything we needed around us perk zoo and beach within walking distance.

We stayed at the Sahara Sunset for a month and really enjoyed our time here. At check-in the staff were very helpful and personable. They answered all our questions and gave us info about the resort. We stayed in a one bedroom unit. The kitchen had everything we needed. A four burner cooktop and a full size oven. It had a large fridge, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There was a very good variety of dishes. glasses, pots, utensils etc. There are large screen TV's in the sitting room and the bedroom. Our unit had two balconies. One small one and a large one with a table, chairs, and umbrella. There was also a pull out drying rack on the large deck. The sitting room was a good size and a dining room table with 4 chairs. Housekeeping did a cleaning every three days and changed the towels and tea towels if you wanted. They changed the bed linen every 6 days. There was a small vault in the bedroom. Bathroom had a very large walk-in shower. Didn't think very much of the supplied shower gel/shampoo. You might want to bring your own toiletries. There was no tub in the unit we had. The sitting room also had a pull out bed in the couch and a wardrobe. The no charge wifi was fast and worked well. They also had a service were they would deliver fresh croissants in the morning if you wanted. They have a great little supermarket right in the resort as well. It had a little bit of everything. There is a gym, small library, two large outdoor pools, and a small kids pool. There is also and indoor pool and hot tub. We also saw a large outdoor chess set, mini golf course and petanca. The resort provides a "starter kit" in the unit. There was some tea, coffee, dishwasher and laundry detergent to do until you could get out to shop. All the staff that we interacted with were very personable. The spa was not open while we were there. It is was under renovation for the whole time. This is a family oriented resort and it was nice to see families enjoying themselves. We had no issues with excess noise. It was quite quiet at night and we were able to sleep with our windows open. There is some parking in front of the resort. Certainly not enough for the resort. But we had no trouble parking on the street close to the gate to our block. We were there through Easter (a very busy time) and were still able to find a parking spot. You don't need a car if you stay here and aren't exploring the Costa del Sol. There are supermarkets, shopping, and good restaurants/bars as well as the beach, all within several minutes walk.Would we stay here again? For sure.

Was a great place to go but be careful if you want twin beds. They don't tell you that the one bedroom apartments don't have twin beds. The other small thing was that a young cleaner did not acknowledge us & kept saying that she didn't understand which I doubt is true as most countries learn English as the first Language & a older lady came a couple of days later & didn't have a problem.

I have just returned from a second stay at The Sahara Sunset Hotel and again we had a fantastic stay. We were a party of 3 ladies staying for a weekend. As we arrived at 1.30 pm we thought we'd be a little cheeky and try our luck with an early check in. We were helped by Juan Antonio who told us that our room was not yet available but would take our number and WhatsApp us when 1 was available. We decided to go the hotel restaurant and have some lunch and a drink. About 40 minutes after wed spoken to Juan ,we received a message to say a room was available . We were originally allocated a room across road from the main building with an ocean view but Juan offered us a room in the main building but with no view of the ocean. We happily took it as we weren't going to be spending that much time inside. To our surprise, our room RGNG had a view of the ocean ,it was on the ground floor but was ideal for our needs . It had had a recent renovation and was beautifully cleaned and well decorated. It had everything we needed for our stay. Over all ,all the staff from reception ,to pool/restaurant to cleaning were cheerful helpful and polite ,service top notch and facilities were faultless . We are already talking about return for a week next year . I'd highly recommend staying at the Sahara Sunset .

We arrived at the hotel on Friday 9 May for 3 night. Our group consisted of family and friends who are all respectable, professional women. We had an awful experience at check in where the blonde receptionist asked us if we were there for a celebration. We replied that we were celebrating my daughter’s forthcoming wedding in July. She informed us that she might not let us stay at the hotel as they don’t accept “hen do’s”and we may have to find another hotel. After reluctantly relenting after leaving us waiting at reception for 30 minutes she told us that the hotel staff would be patrolling us and they would call the police if they needed to. We were instructed to read sheets printed with the hotel’s anti social behaviour policy and sign the back in front of other guests. Our first day was ruined by her attitude at check in and we felt upset and humiliated. We were treated like criminals. We enjoyed our stay and we were perfectly behaved. However, will never return and would not recommend booking this hotel

At the hotel there was a nice restaurant named Kasbah. All waiters were good but one was really perfect. His name was Raoul and he always helped when needed. He also makes funny jokes. Conclusion: Raoul is a amazing waiter at a amazing restaurant at a amazing hotel. FIVE STARS from me.

The room was clean and the kitchen and bathroom were up to date. With new appliances in the kitchen and a glass shower and heated towel rack in the bathroom. Pools were beautiful. Location was central to restaurants, beach and parks. The staff were quick to respond to any questions or needs we had.
