Great spot, nice and quiet (as long as you like roosters!). Comfy beds, rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff were awesome in making us feel welcome and assisting with booking tours and car hire. Sunset on the beach is beautiful. Good food - the included Brekky is good and a cooked Brekky is not too expensive.
Don’t expect any TV reception - only had one channel in our room and 2 channels in the kids room next door. WiFi is a bit sketchy but not too expensive. Snorkeling the lagoon in front of the resort is OK, but much better down at the Sanctuary.

Good location on the beach. Continental breakfast was okay.
Beach is okay but very rocky. Reef shoes must be worn for protection.

Location was great, easy close access to other restaurants, a bakery and convenience store, and bus stop right outside resort.
Tropical breakfast was everything you need for a continental breakfast.
Staff go above and beyond to help and make your stay enjoyable, along with a lot of knowledge of local sights to visit.
Reception ladies were extremely friendly, kind and caring.
Facilities at the resort - two pools, restaurant and private beach well maintained, clean and great to have options.

This place was great value for money. The room size and amenities were ideal for us because we wanted to cook and have some meals at the hotel to save money. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Some of the snorkeling gear we borrowed was a bit old, but we replaced them with no issues. The breakfast was okay, but not great. Did not have eggs or any warm food, and decaf coffee was not available without additional pay. The view from the beach is stunning, the sunset was amazing to see from the left side of the hotel, we really enjoyed that view.
The reef is not too far from the shore and the waves were quite strong while we were there, making it a bit hard for us to try and snorkel there as we are not the most proficient swimmers. Not our recommended place to swim and snorkel, but definitely has a good view from the beach. Other very good snorkeling locations are not too far away, it was a few min drive to the Lagoonorium, where we saw the biggest schools of fish ever.

8.0
The staff were very friendly and made an effort to remember guest names and room numbers. Great location - it was lovely to watch the sunset on the beach hammocks. Also nice to have the choice of two pools.
WiFi was quite expensive compared to other places on the island. Air conditioning unit wasn’t very powerful, and I was woken up at 4am every morning by the resident cockerel!

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic - right on the beach, and the gardens were very well kept and aesthetically beautiful. Easy access to local bus service and relatively short drive to town.
Restaurant closed on the night of arrival. No access to bar or snacks during the day time, although excellent self-catering facilities were available.

The hotel is really nice, quite and good located just in front of the beach, very clean too.
Breakfast could be better but is not bad, they have several options. I think that they should add some croissants or cakes

The very friendly hospitality.the general ambienceof the resort..
The price.far too expensive
9.6
The two large and deep pools in proportion to the number of overall resort size, and beautiful garden surroundings make it an excellent place to relax and unwind.
Some improvements to the blinds could make the rooms more sound proof to keep out noises of roosters and guests that don't know how to keep their voices down outside when it's dark.

This is our 3rd stay at the Sunset over the last 8 years and we'll keep coming back as we love it. The relaxing atmosphere, cleanliness, beautiful gardens, and fantastic pools make it the perfect place to enjoy and unwind. This we we tried another resort but only lasted two days before cancelling and booking into the sunset. The extra cost was worth it. Continental Breakfast was good with fresh local fruit and fruit salad every day.
The roosters....But that's part of life in the Cooks and you get used to them!! Maintenance on the metal window shades would help.
