Sunshine Resort

We stayed at the Sunshine Resort last week and had a wonderful experience. The only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is due to a few minor areas for improvement that could be easily addressed at minimal cost. We stayed on the top floor next to the balcony, which had a couple of settees and a fantastic view of the sea and mountains. We were fortunate to be the only guests for the entire week, so it was very quiet, and we had the balcony all to ourselves. The room was cleaned daily, and the towels were changed once, which was satisfactory. We only met the male owner once during check-in. He seemed pleasant and offered to carry my suitcase up to the room. Our room was not self-catering, but it did have a kettle, two cups, two drinking glasses, and two wine glasses. The bed was quite comfortable. The shower room was adequate, but a shower holder would have been better to avoid holding the shower head. As for areas needing improvement, the sign for the apartments is way too obscure and virtually impossible to see at night. Fortunately, we found the place with the help of Google Maps. The check-in instructions were insufficient; we had to guess that the owners lived in the leftmost ground-floor apartment (no signs). It was disconcerting to knock on their door late at night without being certain. The owner eventually appeared through the window and opened the door a minute or so later. There were no check-out instructions either, so we left the key in the door and knocked on the owner's door to inform him we were leaving out of courtesy. Despite several knocks and seeing the curtain twitch, no one opened the door. After waiting for five minutes, we decided to leave. If the owners prefer minimal interaction with guests, they should at least leave instructions in the room to avoid confusion. Overall, we had a great experience at the Sunshine Resort.

Sunshine resort is budget accommodation, we stayed in the basic room but it had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, it was clean, there was a fridge, safe, kettle, air conditioning, TV and hairdryer. We stayed for a week but it seems mostly to used as a short stay. As I said it is budget and we paid budget prices but it was good value for money. It needs a little bit of a paint job in parts and it is up a steep hill but I am 60 and I managed it 2 or 3 times a day and it is well worth it when you see the spectacular views of the bay from your room.
