Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Loved the ease of being able step out onto the beach from our room. Our room was very comfortable and spacious with everything one would need. Staff were very helpful, accomodating and friendly. The only slight draw back was the very limited inclusive Tropical breakfast.

We really enjoyed our 2br apartment at Sunset. It was clean and well presented. The pools and gardens are really well kept. But we spent most of our time on the beach, snorkelling in the lagoon and watching the whales go by, amazing! Staff were also very helpful in booking activities and transfers.
