"There are very few hotels that I can honestly say I would return to but Royal Sunset Beach Club is definitely one of them. As others have said the facilities in our one bedroom apartment were perfect and it was definitely a bonus to have a good sized fridge and freezer (with ice cube trays) as well as an oven, hob, microwave, toaster and kettle (and decent sized mugs for a cup of tea!). The courtesy products were also very welcome (salt and pepper sachets, tea, coffee and sugar, dishwasher tablets, sponge, tea-towels, shower gel etc) and there is a Hiper-dino just two doors away and Spanish Style shop just across the road when you need additional supplies. If you're staying for a week housekeeping come in twice, sheets are changed once during your stay and the towels twice (more than enough for most and no pressure to get out of the room early each day). There is also an on-site laundry (5 euros for 1 x 8kg load, takes 30 minutes and dries on your balcony in seconds) and the rooms have an iron and ironing board if required.
We required the use of the sofa bed which was not made up upon arrival. We tried, unsuccessfully, to covert from sofa to bed but ended up calling housekeeping who ended up calling maintenance (it wasn't us being stupid, it was a technical issue), however this was resolved very quickly. Not the best nights sleep ever (very noisy) but that's to be expected on a sofa bed. Main bed is extremely comfortable and the separately controlled air conditioning in both rooms was an absolute blessing.
The pool area is opened at 9am and there is no reserving sunbeds around the pool before that time although there are others you can reserve if you're an early riser. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and inflatables are only allowed in the pool for one hour per day. Pool is also open until 7.30pm which is unusual and appreciated for those who burn easily.
Breakfast at the pool bar was excellent. Plenty of choice and good value.
The location of this hotel is fantastic as others have said. Taxi rank immediately outside and free bus to Siam Mall and Siam Park just around the corner. Fanabe market is 10-15 minutes walk away and the beaches of Playa Fanabe are just 5 minutes walk away. Plenty of choice for shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. You can communicate via WhatsApp or by using the phones in your room. Wi-Fi signal was good in the room (not just in reception like some hotels). There is the option to pay for early check-in or late check-out (subject to availability) which was also appreciated.
WARNING - We stayed from 26th June to 3rd July 2026 and there were building works ongoing throughout our stay as the apartments below us were being fully refurbished. If you book directly with the hotel they do advise of this when they confirm your booking BUT our holiday booker did not pass on that information to us so it was an unexpected surprise. This won't affect many (workmen start around 8.30am and finish around 7pm) but anyone who wants to sleep late or take an afternoon nap will be affected. We tried to give our teenage daughter some privacy by pegging towels to the balcony railing but were told to remove these (health and safety).
Overall a fantastic stay and would definitely stay again (once the building works are complete!)"
