Royal Sunset Beach Club is a three-pearl time-share property with apartment-like suites. The 126 units have a minimal design and amenities like kitchens, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and balconies. Note that daily housekeeping is not provided. The environment is often busy with a vacationing English clientele, especially around the outdoor pool, hot tub, and children’s pool, making loungers a hot commodity here. A gym, restaurant, bar, and spa are lovely, but many amenities like gym access, Wi-Fi, and breakfast incur charges. The hotel is just a three-minute walk from the beach. Travelers might want to consider the beachfront Iberostar Bouganville Playa as an alternative. It doesn’t have pesky fees for Wi-Fi or the gym, and features a large kids’ club and multiple dining options.

Scene
Time-share property with a functional, contemporary design and crowded pool area
Royal Sunset Beach Club is a time-share property that attracts vacationers -- mainly English families and couples -- seeking a resort property near the beach. Interiors are contemporary but a bit boring, dated, or unattractive. While the white tile floors and gray armchairs in the lobby are lovely, there’s a hodgepodge of other decor: half-filled bookshelves, plastic children’s tables, worn bean bags, a large Welcome Home sign, and an internet corner that feels a bit jumbled together. The restaurant is attractive with a simple white and gray color scheme, though the bar could use a bit of an update as the red and gray armchairs are faded. Major downsides include fees for services and amenities, a busy environment by the pool, and bothersome time-share pitches from sales staff.
Location
Three-minute walk to the beach and nine-minute walk to a mall
Royal Sunset Beach Club has a decent location for a beach vacation in Costa Adeje. It’s a three-minute walk to the beach, a walk that takes travelers past plenty of dining options and a small shopping center and nightclub. Grocery stores across the street make it easy for guests to stock up on supplies for their in-room kitchens. The area is known for being packed with resorts but there are some attractions within driving or walking distance. Centro Comercial Plaza del Duque, a mall, is a nine-minute walk away. Siam Park, a water park, takes nine minutes to reach by car. Aqualand Costa Adeje is a six-minute drive away. It’s a 16-minute drive to the Tenerife South Airport.
Rooms
Apartment-like units with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and kitchens
Royal Sunset Beach Club offers apartment-like units and though they’re clean, they do have a simple and dated design that will need a facelift in a few years. Rooms are mostly equipped with a cream and white color scheme, and some gray or red accents. Blond wooden furniture and tiled floors are common among most units. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi (for a fee), and safes (for a fee). Kitchens come with refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, coffeemakers, and toasters. Most rooms have furnished balconies or patios. Daily house cleaning is not provided. Bathrooms aren’t particularly spacious but include showers, basic toiletries, hairdryers, and vessel sinks.
Features
Large outdoor pool, daily activities, international restaurant, and unfortunate fees
There are quite a few fees associated with amenities at Royal Sunset Beach Club. Wi-Fi, parking, the gym, breakfast, and pool towels all incur charges, which annoys many guests. However, the pool area is free for visitors and includes a pool, children’s pool, hot tub, pool bar, and table games. This is where most activities for adults and kids are held by the hotel’s activity staff. Note that available pool loungers can be difficult to obtain. The gym is modern, spacious, and includes some Cybex cardio and weight machines. There’s a small spa with massages and a sauna. As for dining, the restaurant offers local and international cuisine. Breakfast options vary and can be provided in the restaurant, by the pool, or delivered to rooms -- but each option costs a fee. Half-board meal plans can be purchased. Other perks include a DVD library, book library, games to rent, and a children’s play room.
