"We stayed at Sunset View Club in Golf del Sur in June and absolutely loved it. The complex is beautiful, well maintained and very grecian looking with the blue domes and white walls. The apartment was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The air conditioning and safe were included free of charge, which was a big bonus and the kitchen was really well equipped with all the essentials, including a coffee maker, iron, hairdryer and more. The filtered water tap was a big surprise and saved us a lot of money (and single use plastic) on bottles of water!
There were so many other thoughtful little touches that made the apartment feel easy and comfortable to use, like warm/white light bedside lamps and a motion-sensor light in the bathroom. It also had lots of coat hooks, which seems like something you wouldn't be bothered about, but was actually really handy and usually lacking in other places we've been. I also really appreciated how eco-conscious the resort is, with unbleached toilet paper and cleaning every four days to help reduce waste.
The WhatsApp service was brilliant, as it meant we could ask questions or make enquiries without needing to physically go to reception. Which is great for me with mobility problems and sometimes difficulties in social settings. Staff were quick, helpful and friendly throughout.
This is genuinely the most accessible place I have ever stayed. There are ramps, step free apartments and a pool hoist. The resort is autism friendly and very accommodating accessibility wise. Before we travelled, I emailed to ask whether we could have an upstairs apartment overlooking the quieter waste land, as I’m sensitive to noise and was worried about being disturbed by the complex across the road. They replied quickly and kindly accommodated the request, which made a huge difference to my stay.
The pool bar was lovely and the staff there were fantastic. There was live music and a barbecue on some days, which created a nice atmosphere. The pool area was great overall, although the only things I would have liked were moveable parasols, rather than fixed ones and a bit more enforcement around people leaving towels on sunbeds for long periods when they weren’t using them. Some beds were left empty for hours, occasionally most of the day.
Location wise it was perfect for us. There are sea views, restaurants and shops just across the road, a great supermarket with a bakery section and the resort is close to the airport. Although the airport is a bit of a nightmare with their new fingerprint identification system - expect long queues. There is also parking directly outside, although it did fill up most nights, so I imagine it could be very busy in peak season.
Since becoming ill, I haven’t really been able to travel with anyone other than my husband, but Sunset View Club is the first place where I could genuinely imagine coming back with a friend or my mum. It feels safe, accessible, well located and genuinely accommodating. We spoke to people who had been returning for 20+ years, and I can completely understand why.
We will absolutely come back."
