Long wait at the on site restaurant after ordering breakfast. And it really wasn't busy. Weird arrangement of going up one floor across and down one floor. Hard with luggage as one leg had no lift. The room had excellent AC but we didn't like to run it overnight. When my partner asked for an extra sheet or cover for the bed they said they had none. How strange. Telephone and one wall socket were both without power on arrival. After we reported it both were fixed. The kitchen in the apartment was excellent with fridge freezer micro and washing machine. One of the best. Apart from maybe the bright orange counters. Like an " easyJet" kitchen. ;-) Room was roomy. Huge queen size sofa bed although we didn't use it. Lots of evidence of being as "Eco" as possible. Items in the onsite gift shop were very cheap. A short walk from the beach. We paid wun seexty fyfe per night for two in early June. No breakfast. Seems a lot to me but it's probably about right. Would I go again. Maybe. But wanted to try the Benalmádena Beach hotel close by ( about £30 a night cheaper ) but it was full. I'll try other places before saying I'll come back.

Pros: The customer service was above par. The apartment was nicely furnished with a great balcony containing loungers and a patio table and chairs, communal pool, onsite store, onsite restaurant and a miniputt. Cons:There are no Elevators and quite a lot of stairs. Even to access the apartments on the main floor there are three small flights of stairs so quite difficult to carry luggage to the second and third floors, especially for the seniors. There is a daily surcharge of 2 euros per person for a pool towel which can be costly for families and a daily surcharge of 5 euros per person for the indoor pool. Overall, I quite enjoyed our stay at the Sahara Sunset.

We have stayed here on numerous occasions, and each time we arrive we remember why. The rooms are well equipped, with a clear drive towards recycling and sustainability. The hotel staff could not be more friendly, and the hotel facilities are great, with indoor and outdoor pool amongst the main attractions. There is lots to in the surrounding area, with numerous great restaurants and bars on the doorstep. A fantastic place to stay.
