 Sun Beach: fantistic apartments on a fantistic island by Henry Glennie |
| Posted 28 June 2008 about a visit in August 2007 | Overall rating: 9.6 |
as a family we have stayed in the sun beach for 5 years running and we have had a great holiday every time. we first went 2adults and 2 children,then my eldest son 18 stayed at home so my mother in law came with us, granted we thought it may be too loud and not what she was used to. that was 2 years ago and she wants to go back again so we have booked for this year. it is very loud with 2 night clubs under the rooms but the staff are great (if you give them the respect they deserve ) the rooms are very clean and are cleaned every 2 or 3 days (unless you leave them like a tip so you only have yourself to blame if they are not cleaned would you go into a dirty room ) as for the noise you get used to it very quickly and if my mother in law can any one can. if you are like us (45+ )a visit to the square every night and enjoy the free entertainment then back to the apartments for a night cap i would recommend the sun beach to any one .

| Sun Beach: Hell on Earth! Someone walked through our room! by Liz Higgins |
| Posted 05 May 2008 about a visit in August 2007 | Overall rating: 1.0 |
We stayed at The Sun Beach Apartments in August 2007 for two weeks. It was myself, my husband and my 12 year old son. We are not old only in our 30's and found this place awful!
It is a PARTY hotel for 18-25 year olds that NEVER sleep during the night only during the day. The bedroom is set at the back in a claustrophobic room with no air conditioning right next to the corridor with a tiny window with bars on it. The first night we arrived we were shattered from traveling and needed sleep. There was no chance of that. All you could hear was a party going with very very loud techno music on in one room. Then there was the constant door bell ringing and banging by drunken idiots. Then came the arguing and shouting. And finally the girls crying and screaming. We didn't sleep at all and felt wrecked. Our good neighbour said he thought it was like being in Beirut! We thought so too.
The sheets were filthy, ripped and even had lipstick on them to show that they were not washed. The towels were the same. There was vomit on the paths to the stairwells from the all night partying from the yobs.
We were on the 6th floor so we thought the only solution to get any sleep at all was to physically move the beds from the bedroom to the front room and leave the sliding doors open to get some air. It was better not to hear the awful corridor noise. But, you then had the extremely loud bar noise underneath the hotel.
One morning around 6 am I was half-asleep and someone walked right past me! I thought it was my husband but I looked over and he & my son were still in bed! Someone was in the room. I sceamed to my husband and he tried to chase the man out but my husband was half-asleep and didn't catch him. The man got out the front door and ran down all the stairs. He was running from the police because we were told he had hit a woman at one of the bars. A few days later they had eventually caught him.
We reported it to the staff at the hotel and the man at the desk just said, "ugh..idiots! I hate this season! So many idiots in this hotel!" The staff just looked utterly fed up as were we. You had to take 2 separate lifts just to get up to our room. Big huge giant cockroaches adorned the stairwells.
Bullies surrounded the pool with loud techno music so you could not even go to the pool. I watched one guy lift someone else's child in the air really high and then dropped him crying into the pool fully clothed. He was so upset and frightened. I called security which is a total joke. It is only one guy who does nothing at all.
A family with a disabled little girl in a wheelchair had to move three times because of all the lifts and stairs and noise that was upsetting the child. It was so sad.
The resort of Santa Ponsa is lovely though but very very Irish and Scottish and I would go back but to a different hotel on the other side of the resort. The best bar for families is Bar Code 7 with terrific entertainment every night. The beach is gorgeous but do NOT BUY WATERMELON OR SOFT DRINKS ON THE BEACH. They conned us out of £18.00 for two tiny pieces of it! Get it from the supermarket. Fat Sam's has the very best food but get there early as it is always packed.

| Sun Beach: Centrally located by Karen Mcgouran |
| Posted 30 June 2005 about a visit in May 2005 | Overall rating: 9.8 |
I stayed in these apartments for one week in June 2005, they are very centrally located and everything is close by. THey are very clean.
Unfortunately these apartments have no air conditioning and it is very uncomfortable, you can hire a fan for €18.00 per week, but these were useless. You cannot open a window because of noise outside and of the younger people staying in these apartments. I brought my daughter who is seven with me, she enjoyed it, the pool was enough for her but it is not really catered for young kids so i wouldn't recommend bringing young children to these apartments in July/August.
I would never stay in these apartments again because of the heat, it was unbearable and by speaking to a number of other couples staying there, they felt the same, half of the people staying there had to sleep on the balcony because it was so warm.
So to sum up, they are well located and clean but too hot and very uncomfortable to try to sleep.
