  Great location and lovely hotel

  03 Sept 2026

  Just retuned from a week stay at Sahara Sunset and was very impressed with the hotel. We had a studio room which was located in the building across the road so I was at first not impressed with the idea of crossing the road to get to main complex but the studio itself was one of the largest I have even seen, the air con was excellent vs the air con in the main buildings which is not as good so overall very happy, only negative on this building would be lack of pool view but if that doesn’t bother you you will have no issues,Staff at the pool bar were very friendly and chatty and a pleasure to talk toLocation is also very good with a 20 min walk along the beachfront to the MarinaPool beds could be reserved from 8.30 to 9 and after that lifeguard removes towels, the only negative here is when we went to the pool bar for lunch the lifeguard left a warning letter on our beds which was very annoying considering he could tell we were still using them and shouldn’t feel the need to be tied to the beds all day. The back pool is much quieter and you could usually get some beds there all through the dayReally impressed that the pool stays open til midnight on Wednesdays with a giant projector in front of it playing movies for the kids

  Super

  I am just returned from a lovely holiday in Malaga, Spain, at the Sahara Sunset. Check-in was quick, the staff were wonderful and the location is just perfect. Hotel and pool area is superbly clean. The pools are fantastic, and there are events for both children and adults every day.The hotel supermarket has everything you need and is very reasonably priced!The apartment was great—they thought of everything when we arrived. There were sachets of tea and coffee, sugar, dishwasher tablets, washing machine pods, cloths and a sponge to clean.There is a large deck with a table and four chairs, plus two big sun loungers.The sofa bed is incredibly comfortable, possibly a king-size, with two extra pillows and two sheets provided.You can rent beach or pool towels for €8 per week or €2 per day.Highly recommend Inmaculada Lorite, Guest Services / Front Office at Sahara Sunset, responded to this review Thank you for your fantastic review!We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay with us and that you found both our facilities and services to your liking.

  Fantastic stay at Sahara Sunset!

  28 Jul 2026

  I just got back from a vacation in Malaga Spain at the Sahara Sunset. The check in was swift, the staff was amazing, the location is perfect! Our two bedroom unit was looking out onto the Mediterranean Sea, with a glimpse of the parking lot. We loved this because parking is tough if you rented a car. The Manager, Alexandra, was truly amazing! She helped plan trips, invited us to a member gathering with champagne, and before our week was over - I felt like we were the best of Friends! I recommend this resort to everyone! Pools are great, daily events are great, restaurant is great and this is all within walking distance to the beach and train station if you choose to use the train. We took a driving day trip to Rhonda which was wonderful! We took a train day trip to Malaga for a walking food tour which was amazing. We then caught the bus to visit two very distinct towns north of Malaga which were amazing as well. This resort is top notch - get a reservation if you can, it will NOT disappoint you! Inmaculada Lorite, Guest Services / Front Office at Sahara Sunset, responded to this review Thank you for your wonderful review!We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a memorable holiday with us. It is fantastic to know that you enjoyed not only the resort and its facilities, but also taking advantage of everything the destination has to offer.Your kind comments about our team are truly appreciated, and we are especially grateful for your recognition of Alexandra. We will be delighted to share your feedback with her. Creating memorable experiences and helping guests make the most of their stay is something she is very passionate about, so your words will mean a great deal.We are also pleased that you enjoyed the activities, pools, dining options, and convenient location, which make it easy to explore both Benalmádena and the surrounding areas. It sounds like you made the most of your time discovering the beauty of Andalusia, and we are thrilled that the resort could be part of that experience.Thank you for your recommendation and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Sahara Sunset for another unforgettable stay in the future.Kind regards,Inma

  The lifeguards are way too strict.They are so strict that they dont lett the kids play. Inmaculada Lorite, Guest Services / Front Office at Sahara Sunset, responded to this review Thank you for your feedback.We are sorry to hear that you felt our lifeguards were too strict during your stay. However, we would like to explain that their primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all guests using the pool facilities.Our lifeguards are required to enforce the pool regulations consistently, particularly during busy periods, in order to prevent accidents and create a safe environment for everyone, including children. We understand that some of these rules may occasionally limit certain activities, but they are in place with safety as the main priority.We appreciate your comments and hope this helps to explain the importance of the lifeguards' role. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.Kind regards,Inma

  Avoid if possible!!!! I would NOT recommend.

  25 Jul 2026

  In all my years of holidaying I've never complained or requested a room change until we stayed at the Sahara Sunset. Upon arrival the room we were allocated was absolutely NOTHING like the photos online. I immediately returned to reception to request a room change but was told that this was not possible as no other rooms were available and to try again the next morning. At 9am the following morning I returned to request a room change again and was told again no other rooms were available and they would contact me if one became available. At this point I was quite upset as I felt we'd been mislead and our holiday was ruined. I'd paid almost £5000 for a family of 5 for 10 days and we were stuck in an apartment across the road from the actual hotel and nowhere near any amenities. In addition there were bars on every window and the balcony was facing the street where everyone walking past could see right in. It was also very dark and dingy and views of rubble and a storage area. Eventually after contacting EasyJet we got moved but I had to PAY for a room change out of my own pocket!!! I was told by reception staff that the pictures online are for illustration only and not all rooms are the same so don't be fooled into thinking you're staying somewhere that looks like the photos. I was also told that I should have requested an upper floor as all ground floor apartments have bars on all of the windows and made to feel like it was my fault! Very disappointed and wouldn't NOT recommend this hotel.You can see from the photos below the "lovely" views from the apartment windows! Inmaculada Lorite, Guest Services / Front Office at Sahara Sunset, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.We are sorry to hear that the apartment initially assigned to you did not meet your expectations and that this affected your overall experience with us.As a large resort, we offer apartments in a variety of locations, orientations, and layouts. For this reason, it is unfortunately not possible to display photographs of every individual apartment online. The images shown are representative of the accommodation category and the facilities provided, although views, floor levels, and locations may vary.We would also like to clarify that, when we are aware of guests' preferences in advance, we can take them into account and allocate apartments accordingly, always subject to availability. Preferences such as upper floors, specific resort areas, or particular views can often be accommodated when communicated before arrival.We regret that, due to the high occupancy levels during your stay, we did not have suitable alternative apartments available when you first requested a move. Had availability allowed, our team would have been pleased to assist immediately.Regarding the security bars, these are fitted to certain ground-floor and exterior-facing apartments to provide additional security and peace of mind for guests staying in those locations.While we understand that the apartment's position and outlook did not match your personal preferences, we are sorry that this led you to feel disappointed with your holiday. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving both our communication and guest experience.Kind regards,Inma
