Scene
Adult-only resort with a quiet ambience, though outdated decor
Located on a lovely private lagoon beach, SUNRISE Holidays Resort makes the most of its location with balconies in most rooms and pool decks with sea views. The front of the hotel features a large lawn area, with flower beds planted in the shape of "Welcome Home." The resort's interiors are a bit outdated, with some areas even looking a bit shabby. The lobby still has appeal with a grand glass entrance, marble flooring, and wooden reception desk with world clocks on the wall. Each of the restaurants and bars feature an individual design, some following the theme of the restaurant such as Arabian Nights Restaurant and Mediterranean Restaurant. Most of the restaurants require guests to wear smart casual attire, with no shorts, swimsuits, or slippers allowed. As an adult-only property, it attracts couples on vacation and is consistently busy with many returning guests -- mainly due to excellent, friendly service that's often complimented on.
