A lovely week away
The hotel is lovely. Great modern design, great staff, very friendly. The rooms are beautiful, modern and new. We had the swim up private pool and absolutely loved it, the only time it's been in our budget. The bed was comfy and the air con was so appreciated. We had tea making facilities, though no coffee or milk, just tea and sugar. We bought our own milk from the supermarket which was really well stocked and only a couple of hundred meters down the road and had taken our own coffee as we're very particular! The shower isn't the greatest pressure but we managed. The patio door had voiles for daytime privacy and both the patio door and bathroom window had fly screens meaning you could leave both open for a much appreciated through breeze. The safe was included with the room .
The food was delicious, mainly all home cooked I'd say. Sadly there was a lot we couldn't have as we're both gluten intolerant but we enjoyed what we could have.
Now for the negatives. Sadly the mixer drinks at the hotel were very poor - flat and VERY sweet. Not at all refreshing. I don't drink wine or beer so we found ourselves going out for drinks most nights, meaning we spent A LOT of extra cash! We also bought cans of coke for the room so drinks through the day were much better. My husband enjoyed the draught lager and there were plenty of people drinking the wine so they were good.
We had to ask for gluten free bread as it wasn't left out and Sadly this often took ages to arrive meaning we had to wait to start our breakfast. Breakfast for us was quite limited, but lots of choice gor normal bellies!
There are cats EVERYWHERE! Not just at the hotel but all around town. They're not ferocious, in fact quite friendly but they come into ALL of the restaurants begging for food - they just sit and stare at you! I got lots of insect bites mainly on my lower legs. As I said that wasn't just at this hotel. I think the town needs a neutering programme!
I would recommend this hotel to others and have already but only if the have no dietary requirements and only drink beer or wine! Oh and like cats!
Thank you Sunshine Hotel. 🙂
