Great room, spacious and relaxed vibe. Good amenities for a short or long stay in paradise. Restaurant, 2 pools, friendly bar, friendly staff, and great beach access. Loved watching the sunset from the double hammocks. Will be recommending to all we meet.

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.

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.

We loved our stay and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They took us to the hospital and picked us up when we needed antibiotics. A bottle of bubbles for my birthday and birthday wishes. The only reason not a 5 is our room was tucked away and always dark and next to the laundry. It was a nice tidy room. It was just the location. Other than that can not fault the place. The cocktails, the friends made, the snorkeling is amazing, and watching the sunset, magical. Watch out for the BCB cocktails they knock ya socks off. 😁

This R15 beachfront resort is well laid out with beautifully kept gardens. It has two pools, a bar and a restaurant with good quality food and fun special occasion nights with entertainment. Rooms and facilities have everything to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The thing that really makes all the difference are the friendly and passionate staff who are always upbeat and are clearly proud of the Sunset Resort. Many staff have been at the resort for years and regard it as a home away from home and guests get the same feeling. Many other guest were on repeat stays and we too, hope to visit again.

Fantastic location, great beach out front. It's an adults only facility. Tropical breakfast included and shuttles to and from airport (need to pay). It's close to airport and bus stops right outside. Rooms are fully equipped if you want to cook anything. Two great swimming pools, happy hour, staff wonderful and helpful with booking various things like transport. There is a small store, alcohol shop and bakery very close if you need supplies or town is a very short bus ride away for a bigger supermarket.

Really friendly staff, nice rooms and pools.

The staff were exceptionally helpful, and it's great having two pools, with easy access to bars & cocktails etc. The beach was lovely. Everything was very clean, and the gardens were nice too. It's really hard to find fault with anything. You need to pay (a little) towards wi-fi but that's true for th vast majority of places on the whole island. In general, I have nothing but praise for this resort.
