Royal Sun Resort

Just returned from an amazing week's holiday. The most relaxing holiday I've had in years. I was slightly apprehensive as I had booked the standard 2 bedroom apar**ent with large balcony and heard that these apar**ents were a little dated. We stayed in room 218. The apar**ent was spotless, spacious, huge bathroom and walk in shower. Yes the kitchen and furniture were brown (exactly the same as mine at home) ! but had everything we needed including a large fridge. Arrived about 6 30pm and the curtains were closed. Pulled them open to be greeted with the biggest balcony we've ever had. See pics , the view was absolutely stunning. The location was great for us. We would walk in the morning, steep hill down and usually get a 5 euro taxi back up. None of us have mobility problems but that hill is not affectionately called cardiac hill for nothing. Small supermarket and launderette attached to the hotel and Lidl within walking distance (not too steep to walk there). We went half board, breakfast was great , loads of choice, dinner was also good but it was nice to go out for a change too. Lovely Italian at the end of the street. All the staff were really lovely, would definitely return to Royal Sun and would not hesitate to ask for the same room. No rush for sunbeds by the pool either but maybe that's because it was January and term time?

We spent a month staying at the Royal Sun and absolutely loved it and already going back next year. The apar**ent was very spacious, had everything we needed, cleaned every day and amazing sea views. We stayed bed and breakfast and there were some great food options locally. The balconies are huge and all overlook the sea and provide a great view of daily sunsets. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel has good gym facilities which help keep up with our exercise routine.

The apar**ents are large and well equipped with an enormous balcony and beautiful sea view. We loved the food -good selection each day. The restaurant provides lovely views of the sea and is very well organised and managed. All the staff are professional, pleasant and helpful. Our second time at this hotel and it won't be the last.

The royal sun is the most amazing place the hotel is amazing the staff are amazing we have been coming her for the last 7 years and won’t go anywhere else Carlos and the team do everything to make you feel welcome and special the views are to die for and the restaurants are fantastic

This was our 4th time at the Royal Sun. We arrived at 1230pm to be told that check in isn’t till 4 pm but no problem there is a left luggage place and we popped up to the swimming pool restaurant.By the time we had had lunch we checked in at reception and our rooms were ready. We had one of the apar**ents on the 5th floor which are the ones that have been updated.The apar**ent was clean and fresh with everything we needed..Cleaning is available every day apart from Sunday.We used the cleaning service about every 3 days and it was more than enough.The balcony is so big it’s like having another room as part of your apar**ent.Everyone talks about the view for very good reason it is amazing.Our sun blinds started playing up I went to reception and within 5 mins the maintenance man came to sort it out.If it gets windy they automatically go back in to stop them from getting damaged. We were half board and I have real problems(IBS) usually with hotel food but not at the Royal Sun.Every night I found more than enough to eat and with no problems later.My wife and I have different tastes in food and she too really enjoyed the food.The bread was lovely every day for breakfast and the evening meal was a treat. We used the pool first thing in the morning and it was absolute heaven to swim and then walk back to the apar**ent to dry off etc.The little pool on the 5 th floor is rather under used but we have never been in the summer. We went on a trip to Loro Park and it took 2and aHalf hours to get there.Return is better because you get dropped off first and the bus goes back the other way . All in all the Royal Sun should be proud of there reputation and we are already looking ahead to 2024 when we can return

The best thing we can say about this hotel was the food was exceptionally good. The views breathtaking! However, we changed hotels as soon as we possibly could, the facilities and standard were very poor. It cost us three days of our holiday, which is the reason to write this review as it was such a shame. Whilst looking this year, the hotel just popped up and brought all those memories flooding back! :-( I have read some of the reviews on here and it is a mystery how they have managed to achieve such high marks, possibly it appeals to more mature couples I do not know. I do know that they impressed me at the time we booked, so you can not always be guided by them and it is personal preferences of course. I can only go on our experience. In our opinion this hotel needed a complete overhaul. I know some of the suits were in the process of being refurbished. As it was last summer when we visited it may well have been completed by now. We only stayed for a few days until we were able to arrange a new hotel. The suit was not one that had been refurbished and although spacious, it was dredfully dated and shabby with a horrible dark and dull bedroom. Great balcony and stunning views. From the photographs I do not believe the hotel itself has changed that much from when we stayed. The hotel is dated and lacks modern amenities that I am sure most would expect. The bar is in a woeful little corner of the dreadfully drab lounge and has a locked grid shutter most of the time. By the pool there is a tiny shop/bar and that Is it! There are plenty of very beautiful hotels to chose from, in our opinion give this one a miss.

Second visit and another wonderful relaxed holiday. Quiet location and great accommodation, fabulous views and great facilities in the rooms. Breakfast buffet is great value and would highly recommend. We stayed one week and could have stayed longer

It was the third time we stayed at Royal sun. We Will certainly come back again. Royal Sun is really Royal A room with A balcony of 50 m2

Another great stay at the Royal Sun spent 2 weeks being of April. Staff very friendly and helpful. Balcony and view amazing weather Hot Don’t worry about noise from new Crystal apar**ents, hardly noticed it at hotel. Totally recommend hotel. Stayed room 315 but all rooms have great views of harbour and sea.
