- Benalmadena
- Sunset Beach Club

This exceptional resort boasts a magnificent location in Benalmádena right on the water's edge, and just a short taxi ride to Benalmadena Marina. The resort's convenient location means the villages of Mijas and Fuengirola are not far away with tennis and golf clubs, as well as a casino nearby. Moreover, Malaga international airport is a mere 20 minutes’ ride. Visitors may love to relax by the side of the outdoor swimming pool, sunbathing or resting under the shadow of an umbrella. After a full day of sightseeing, sporting action or playing on the beach, guests can unwind in the comfortable rooms, which are perfectly equipped with all the essential amenities needed for a pleasant stay.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Beds are uncomfortable
Food poor and expensive as well
Lifts are busy and bad signage from bedrooms.
Pool very deep for children
Misleading info on booking.com its 3.1 km walk from marina.
Stayed in August as a family of 2 adults and our 2 young children in a one bed sea view apartment.
Apartment was on the smaller side but had good storage, lovely spacious and safe balcony, well equipped kitchenette. Large clothes airer for use.
Kids took the bedroom and we took the sofa bed on the living area so we could use the balcony and tv after they went to bed and both were very comfortable.
All areas were spotless, apartment and communal areas. Rooms cleaned daily, towels and sheets always spotless. Shower gel, shampoo and washing liquid plus dishcloth and sponge all provided.
We went self catering and used the supermarket downstairs as well as the large Dia supermarket across the road where we were able to get all our requirements for the week for breakfast and lunch, we ate dinner in various restaurants each evening. Fridge with small icebox which was ideal for icepops etc.
Ate in Terrazza restaurant on site by the pool twice and food was excellent both times. Great value kids meals in particular.
Kids used the kids club a couple of times and enjoyed it. We enjoyed the mini disco most nights too.
Reception were helpful with information and also once when we called to request additional pillows they were delivered to the room very promptly.
Taxi rank outside the hotel was a great asset. We used taxis a couple of times and they were very reasonably priced.
Downsides were the noise. The long corridors really carried the noise and other some other guests were not considerate of noise at night, speaking very loudly, yelling and singing in the corridors until 1am or so. I found it difficult to sleep until this time and this is the main reason I regretfully will not return. This probably affected us more than others as we tend not to stay up late on holidays with younger children. If we were out late we probably would not have noticed this as much.
Also on a number of occasions some kids i guess aged 10-15 rang our doorbell and then ran off, very annoying as it often disturbed bedtime for our younger kids.
The lifts were very slow, everyone joked that we lost a couple of days holiday time just waiting on the lifts.
On one occasion we saw a kid vomiting in the main pool and saw it being brought to staff attention immediately however it was about 20mins until anything was done about it (at which point we were long gone from the pool but could see and hear the announcement from our balcony).
The two small baby pools are brilliant for toddlers or young kids. One has good shade. The two main pools have only a very small section that is shallow enough for non-swimmers or children and this end of both pools was very busy for this reason, while the majority of both main pools was very quiet and underutilised due to its depth.
Overall a good resort but some small things would make it more enjoyable.
Great hotel. This was our second visit. Rooms cleaned daily. Air con is great. Went SC and there is a supermarket across the road which is really useful as well as an on-site shop.
Approx 40 minute walk to the marina with many bars, shops on the way.
Great steakhouse and cocktail bar next to the hotel. Bus and taxis a plenty if you don’t want to walk.
Would defo return again and the hotel allowed us to check in early and let me choose the floor of our room.
We preferred floor 6 as it meant once we were in our room we could head out without having to use the lifts as this is the same floor as reception.
Lovely clean hotel with all the amenities you need on site and surrounding, you can walk to the marina however in the heat it’s a bit of a task and will take around 40 minutes at an average pace. We stayed in the junior deluxe suite (family of four) and was well equipped and had everything we needed. The only negatives about the hotel is that it is very noisy the corridors carry the noise and screams and there was banging and ringing of the door bells frequently and loud talking etc as the corridors are long so they really carry the noise so we didn’t get much sleep before 1am and after 8am… People are still Queuingfir sun beds and have absolutely no reason to so Lord knows why they feel the need to do it as at no point in our holiday did we ever have to do this and always got beds so please don’t be “that person” as there’s no need!!!! Location is pretty much out of the way of things like the marina, and the squares but that said there are still restaurants shops and bars within walking distance and the bus stops for everywhere are literally located right outside as are the taxis if you don’t fancy the walk. If I had to go to Benalmadena again I would stay at this hotel but tbh the resort wasn’t for us as we like a bit more variety and livelier
Good for families. Great location. We had a couple of issues with the room when we first arrived but this was resolved promptly and we were able to pay to upgrade to a garden suite which was much better for our family of 4 with two teenage boys, much more room for us.
The staff work endlessly cleaning and the hotel is spotless everywhere considering height of the season and also fully booked.
Special mention to the oasis restaurant staff for the way the breakfast service is run. I would imagine this is a difficult task with how busy it is but it runs extremely well, catering for everyone and is immaculately clean and they always have a smile on their face!
Thank you
