Our 11-night stay at Sunset del Mar Beach Resort (2 rooms) was a very big disappointment.
Throughout our stay, room cleaning was minimal, and on our penultimate day it did not happen at all. Cleaning seemed to consist only of making the bed and changing towels—when towels were provided at all, as there were occasions when they were simply forgotten. Despite visible stains on the floor, there was no proper mopping done during our stay. Room 105, in particular, was in very poor condition: the TV in this room was not working, the entrance door was extremely difficult to open; we often spent several minutes trying to get into the room. The bathroom ventilation did not work, and the window could not be opened either. As a result, during the night, an unbearable smell coming from the bathroom spread throughout the entire room. We joked that the room stayed dirty simply because, just like us, the staff could get inside.
It is truly a pity, because the resort has great potential. The location is excellent, right on the beach, and the exterior areas are beautiful, with lush vegetation and a very pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, these positives are overshadowed by the lack of maintenance. The pool was very dirty, and the overgrown vegetation on one of the exits toward the beach was barely taken care of. Breakfast was à la carte rather than buffet, which in itself is not an issue, but 3 days into our stay we were informed that fruit would no longer be served in the mornings. This was disappointing, especially for a beach resort.
Finally, the sofa in one of the rooms was extremely dirty, adding to the overall feeling of neglect.
This is clearly not a resort to choose not even for a short stay, let alone for 11 days
