I am always scepitical reading reports from others on their hotel stays because they can vary so erratically and am fully
aware I now add to that dilemma.
We stayed at the Sun Royal from the 4th January to the 25th and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We took half board and although
the food is not haute cusine, you really are not paying for that and if its what you are looking for, get a bigger budget
and look elsewhere. We found the food decent, wholesome, sufficiently varied and enjoyable. Certainly as good as most people
would enjoy at home.
The hotel itself is located about 5 minutes walk from Dorada beach, and around 20 minutes from the main part of Playa Blanca
(turn right at the sea). If you want upmarket shopping, with prices to match, try the Rubicom (turn left at the sea). We found
it worth a visit but once was enough for us.
As far as the staff at the hotel were concerned we cannot praise them highly enough. Very personable, helpful and everything
you need to make a holiday special. Staff really do make an enormous difference.
I have read reviews where people had claimed that Spanish guests were treated preferentially. Not in our opinion but then
again how many of us can cope with speaking Spanish, English and German and a vast assortment of other languages. The way
people mixed here and generally got on helped the general atmosphere.
There is a laundry with dryer. Had we been fully aware of that we would have travelled with less baggage.The washing machine
costs 3.60 euro a shot. Small supermarket on site selling the British press (and others). Closes at 1pm but good supermarket
(Dino open until 10pm) 400 metres away.
The activities for kids seemed to be good although there were not that many of them there when we we stayed.
A TV remote requires a returnable 10 euro deposit and there is a 20 euro deposit for the air conditioning/heating remote.
Three English channels. "Horror", BBC News and Sky Sports 1, 2 and News appearing at different times.
Wax Bar, in the Papagayo Shopping Centre most convenient for free wifi internet access. Head to the Irish Anvil, by the Port,
to print boarding cards.
Sun loungers on the Dorada beach cost 3 euro each and the same cost for an umbrella.
