Royal Sun

We had a fabulous 5 night stay at Royal Sun Resort, the apartment was clean, very spacious & the huge balcony with the amazing view was incredible! We had B&B, a varied selection of food was available which was of a high standard, it was a very enjoyable experience each morning. The swimming pool was never over crowded with plenty of sun loungers available & fabulous view over Los Gigantes. My husband made use of the fully equipped gym too. Staff at the resort are all very friendly & helpful too! Highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel is at the top of the hill use a taxi if not good with hills The rooms are large clean and comfortable with great views over the town The food is excellent and plenty of variety (breakfast)

We truely enjoyed the stay, especially due to the wonderful staff, relaxed environment, and good mix of guests from different countries. It is not much happening in los gigantes, but there are a few really nice restaurants, once you have found your way around. The colorful stairs is an important shortcut to downtown that makes the walk alot shorter. We had a car and travelled around quite a bit.

Had an all inclusive day pass to use the pool and have some food/drinks. Pool was nice, great ocean view, clean facilities. Sangria was tasty and pizzas were delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and very accommodating despite not being over night residents. Minus 1 star purely because the day pass was advertised as adults only but lots of children at the pool.

It is difficult to add anything more about this hotel than what has already been written by previous reviewers, who have given a fair and accurate summary of what to expect at the Royal Sun. The apartments are large, very well equipped with aircon in the lounge and modern tv's with UK channels. If you want to use the Safe it will cost you 3 euros a day. WIFI is available free of charge. The kitchen area provides crockery, cutlery, fridge freezer, oven, hob, kettle, toaster, microwave and dishwasher (tablets not supplied so bring your own). Everything is kept spotlessly clean (as is the whole hotel), but the apartments are dated, dark and could do with a refurb. The large balconies are equipped with table/chairs/sunloungers with stunning views down to the sea. Perched almost to the top of the cliffs, the area is fairly quiet and not for those who would prefer to be in the centre of things and being surrounded by shops and cafes. It is quite a long walk down to the sea and a steep walk back so a taxi is recommended - around 5 - 7 euros. Alternatively, car hire is an option. The hotel pool is lovely with adequate sunloungers and a childrens' pool on an upper level. The area also has a table tennis table, a poolside cafe serving lunchtime snacks plus a small shop selling drinks and ices. Prices are reasonable. There is also a poolside entertainer who organises games. The dining area is especially attractive with the choice of eating inside or outside. There is also a childrens' play area adjacent to keep the little ones entertained. We found the breakfast offering to be very good. A wide variety of hot and cold food with something to suit all tastes. However, we were less impressed with the evening dinner. Whilst there was a good variety of salads, fruits and bread, the hot food dishes need improvement. In particular, the quality of the meat and fish on offer was questionable. The Paella was cold and on one evening the fish was still raw. Also, the variety/choice of desserts on offer needs to be more imaginative and expanded. The hotel operates a separate restaurant 5 nights a week. This is at an additional cost and has to be booked. We did not eat there so cannot comment. We did not sample the evening entertainment so cannot comment on this either. Checkout time is 12 noon. We had a late flight home and despite requesting a Late Checkout when we arrived we were disappointed and inconvenienced when this was not possible. A baggage storeroom and two showers which are part of the hotel gym complex were made available. Regrettably they could have been cleaner and did not leave us with the best impressions as we left. On a more positive note all the staff we met were smiling and friendly. The chambermaids work especially hard. An enjoyable and relaxed week in the sun.
