Sunrise Hotel

Do not go to this hotel if you are English, it does not cater for our nationality. If you are German, French, Spanish, Belgian, or Italian then this hotel is for you. Myself and my partner and our two children stayed there for a week (12, 7). There was no entertainment on in the day or night. The bar opens at 11.am, the food bar around the pool opens at 12.30pm the same time as the restaurant for lunch and closes at 2.30pm. You can not get any food until 7.30pm when the restaurant opens for evening meal. The bar shuts dead on 11.00pm for all inclusive, it didn't matter if you had been in the queue for 20 minutes, they would not serve you unless you were prepared to pay. After this we would go to the bar and get two drinks and stock up so you could carry on drinking for another hour or so, on one occasion the barman came and told me we could not do that, after a long discussion with reception he was proved wrong as we were doing nothing wrong.

There were only 8 adult English and 8 English children, so as you can imagine we stayed together and ate and sunbathed together. One Belgian family said that everyone was scared of us, why I do not know, we were quiet and soaked the sun up, the men sat and watched the children play, we did not swear or fight or get drunk, just slated for being English.

This hotel should be advertised as not suitable for English families, the staff are rude except the Manager of the hotel who did try with everything. The food is ok but the same everyday, about 10 people did fall ill while I was there but the reception staff kept putting it down to the heat and not the food, if your food was cold you was pointed to a microwave and told to warm it up in there. The room are nice if you have booked a superior room, do not book a standard room, no air conditioning, trust me in summer you need that.

All in all I would not go back to this hotel if it was free, the best thing about my week was the other English that we met.
Thank you to Rachel and Stuart and Boys from Leicester, Gary and Teresa from Sunderland, Alan and Marie and kids from Leicester, without you guys this would have been the holiday from hell.
