The staff were amazing and super accommodating. Couldn’t fault anything the whole time. Afternoon cocktails in the pool was a highlight. Lovely hammocks on the beach and super relaxed environment. Clean rooms, very nice pools, excellent snorkelling directly off the beach front. Bus stop right outside. Staff were exceptionally helpful on every front.

Sunset Resort is very clean and staff are helpful. We enjoyed both swimming pools but the lagoon was too rough to swim there. We really liked the Anchorage Restaurant on site. There were excellent choices for vegetarians on the menu and the staff there were amazing. Our room was comfortable but only had a power socket on one side of the bed. In this day and age we found this very unusual. We also enjoyed the beautifully kept gardens. It wasn't too noisy but we could definitely hear the traffic on the main road behind the Resort. All in all a good experience but not a great one. Would probably stay again.
The main pool has a ramp for wheelchair access.
Rooms were clean and spacious.
The Anchorage restaurant is excellent.

Well appointed spacious 1 bedroom unit poolside with cooktop, cooking utensils etc. 2 aircon units with insect mesh on windows. Comfortable bed and housekeeping to a high standard as were the gardens and beachfront. Lovely friendly staff in both the Anchorage restaurant and Birdcage bar. Happy hours each afternoon for sundowners at the Birdcage was a real winner. $14 Pina Colada’s, $6 beers and daily cocktails of the day. Welcome to take with you to the Anchorage or beachfront. A small bakery across the road and takeaway further along towards the Brewery, all walkable. $8 fish or bbq chicken burgers. All takeaways very generous sized portions.
