I stayed at this hotel earlier this year and was very satisfied with the service we recieved. we stayed in one of the larger rooms, which was designed for 8 people. We were travelling with our parents in their late 50s, our 8 month old son and a cousin in his teens, along with our-20something-selves. the apartment we had had 2 shower rooms a large kitchen diner space, two double bedrooms on mezzanine level floors and in the lounge room, we had a 3 seater, 2 arm chairs and 2 single beds. this was useful for the parents as it meant they didn't have to go up and down the stairs to their bedrooms. there was also a tv with a full compliment of cable channels - which we didn't really watch! the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, plates, glassware, cutlery, utensils and we found everything we needed in order to cook our meals throughout our stay. it was all clean and all in good condition. there was also plenty of cleaning stuff for us to use too. we cooked our breakfast on the three mornings we were there and also made some lunch on two occasions with no fuss at all. there is a supermarket about 5 minutes drive up the road which we were able to stock up on anything whenver we needed it. the apartment was clean throughout, if a bit dated in its decor and lounge furniture,but they had a cleaner come take our rubbish away and clean the apartment in the evening on alternate nights. the manager and her daughter were both exceptionally helpful and were even kind enough to drive us to the airport on the day of our departure. furthermore having realised we'd left our sons blanket at the apartment, we called them up and asked if they could check and bring it over for us. with no fuss, the daughter came back to the airport with the blanket for us. the apartments are nicely presented and the pool, if a bit on the small side, was clean and there were plenty of seats around it. we did have the problem with the water supply cutting off, but we were pre-warned of this and after a quick call was made, it was reinstated. whilst not 5 star luxury accomodation, which i don't think it is advertising itself as, the apartments were a great place to stay with the family. it covered the basics for a self catering apartment to a high standard and there were a few added plus points with the staff and the location of the beach (Store Bay) from the hotel. i would definitely recommend this to others.

i tink this place is great and the price for it is also great. i have had family members stayed here before and they do not want to go home...if anyone complains about this place it means that they were probably expecting an all inclusive room with qualities like the hilton or coco reef resort with breakfast lunch and dinner being provided to them. i can live with housekeepers coming to my room every other day hence the reason for being self contained apartments. some people do not know the reason of 'self- contain' but because they pay for a place they expect the housekeepers to make their beds and wash their dishes and put away their clothes for them. now that is not the reason for self contain and then when they are being explained to them what is self contained apartments, they get upset. i have seen this with my eyes so i know.people expect to pay little and get pop star treatment. well i think they need to book the hilton. i love sunshine apartments and i would definitely recommend it to anyone. it is indeed a home away from home

“Worst place to stay and way over priced!!!”

4/4 found this review helpful

This is the worst hotel/motel!! The accommodations are not suitable for North American visitors and is way over priced when compared to other hotels in the same area with better accommodations. If I had done my research prior to booking I would never have stayed there. Management needs some serious help on how to run a decent hotel and how to communicate with guests. It seems like the accommodations is family run....we had the unfortunate experience of meeting the mother and daughter. Both women act like they are doing guests a favor by booking them a room at their motel. When really, it's the guests keeping them in business. They are very rude and have a bad attitude, especially the daughter!! She talks down to people and does not know how to talk to people in a polite manner only aggressive and mannish. Even if the facility was a 5 star (by North American standards) I would still not stay there again based on the behavior of those women. Now the rooms: The doors to the room are not private it's a "open concept" door...they have louvers that are about 1cm apart....so you can hear everything that happens outside and everyone can hear you and not to mention see you though the sheer curtains. At night when you think you can at least relax a little bit...there goes the noises...people talking loudly, a very loud truck that came both nights we were there to do something. We had pluming issues, no water one day...couldn't flush the toilet either. A/C was not working great, in room fans were broken. The pool was NASTY....never cleaned. But the rooms are big, clean to a point...but had tiny ants. Not worst staying at...a 1 star hotel for the price of a 5 star. Save your money and book with an actual resort....it will cost you the same amount but you will feel like you're on vacation.

5/5 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Sunshine Holiday Apartments for 5 days back in September. We got a room with 2 double beds, sitting room, breakfast nook and dining table, and kitchenette. While generally it is quite comfortable for the traveler on a tight budget I would not recommend this to anyone.
We had some major problems
Receptionist is very aggressive and in emergencies we could reach her less than 25% of the time.
The hotel was experiencing water shortages so management would turn off the water supply and water heater so that guests couldn't use it. We understand that water shortages cannot be helped but before booking hotels should let us know this!!
Water trucks would come in to fill up reservoirs and block in anyone who parked in a certain area.
Pool was dirty.
Maid service is every other day and they only replace towels. there is no actual cleaning happening or making of beds.
The hotel insists that you do an inventory of the kitchen items before you stay in a room or you will be charged. So God help you if the maids break or damage anything.
There was no telephone. And internet costs are too high. Try an internet cafe which actually offers high speed services.
Looking for a great affordable hotel!! Try Crown Point Hotel or Sanctuary Villas. We picked Sunshine because everything was booked up but regretted it our entire stay.
