Sunshine Holiday Resort

Slightly disapointed when first arrived, location was further away from main road than advertised on website. hill is awful, deefinetly not a 10 min walk!
If you walk straight down the hill you head to Friar Tucks restaurant, this is good for food and the staff are very friendly especially the owner. they also do a good deal on exchange rate if you need to change money. We usually got a dolmus from here down to the main strip at hisaronu, sometimes we walked it though, but dolmuses are cheap enough just to hop on and off.
Hotel is quite clean and rooms are comfortable although the rooms advertised on the website are not availabe as the owners young daughter lives there! most rooms just had 2 or 3 beds and a tv on the wall (channel 9 ha ha)
A fridge was also in the room im not sure why because you wasnt allowed any food or drink in the rooms, they were quite strict with this, one couple we were talking to had their fridge taken away! so simple answer for this- bring food or drink you need for the room in your beachbag and make sure you take it out of the fridge when you go out during the day! thats what we did.
Breakfast was ok i didnt really bother because most mornings it was covered in wasps. most people seemed happy with the food, if you want a good english breakfast there are loads of restaurants in hisaronu you can get one for about £2 - if restaurants advertise in english money then pay for it with english money otherwise you will be paying more for it because they will give you a bad exchange rate!
if you want to go to the beach ask reception to ring down for you, the will pick you up free of charge and then take you back afterwards, there are quite a few beaches that does this, our favourite was Seahorse really nice and chilled out, clear sea and lovely views from the restaurant.
Markets in hisaronu on a mon and fethiye on a tues, make sure you haggle you can get them down to a reasonable price on designer bags, clothes footie shirts etc.
Go to fethiye for the day jump on the taxi boat to chalis, it is lovley there, we stayed till eve on the beach there watching the sunset, beautiful! also theres bars there that sell large beer for 1.50 lire very cheap!
Trips were reasonable priced (but be aware that they are always late picking you up sometimes may even forget) we did the mud baths, and boat trips, all good fun they also provide a photographer during the day he takes photos that you are able to buy on a disc, make sure you haggle they will go down in price! but keep it quiet!
Overall had a lovely holiday would definetly return to hisaronu probably not to the hotel though as the walk was off putting.

where do i start....... excellent holiday great value for money,
from arrival to departure the staff were friendly and could not do enough for you, from the lovely man who carried our cases to the room(and put them back on the bus when we left), the cleaners, barstaff, and the lovely manageress.
the rooms were spotless and cleaned daily. the breakfast was basically the same as you get all over turkey (scrambled egg,tomato,bread,jam etc)but was plentifull and filling and got you off to good start.
the pool was great and hard to drag yourself away from, plenty of sunloungers, and enough room to sunbathe comfortably.
its worth remembering this property is on a hillside and its easy going down, but not as easy getting back up during the day. but in the evening is not too bad, however taxis are quite cheap and we walked down and got a taxi back.the only other thing i thought would help is a book like you usually get with local info on taxi fares, bus stops, local supermarkets, market days etc we had to rely on asking other guests but to be fair when we mentioned it to the management they said they are going to put one together asap. all in all a lovely place and a lovely holiday and would recommend this hotel

I stayed at this hotel in july with my husband and three children aged 17,15 & 10. This hotel states on the website that it is 16 min walk from centre , more like a 25 min walk downhill and a 40 min uphill. We only had bed and breakfast , thank goodness as breakfast was often the previous nights dinner leftovers, The hotel claims to offer room service , a laundry service and newspapers none of which was true. The management treated their guests terribly, when we complained of a plumbing issue in our room we were told that to call in a plumber it would cost more than what we paid for our holiday and took the management 2 days to sort out, locks on the doors were also broken. The drinks were very expensive and ther was no entertainment at the hotel.
On a positive note the pool was lovely and the rooms were clean!

lovely hotel rooms clean and spacious staff friendly pool fantastic but no jacuzzi as stated food ok could do with more variety and evening meal not served until around half eight should be earlier. there is a steep hill to walk down and up again to main road to catch buses we did it twice then got taxis. hisaranu is about 15 to20 min walk not 5 as stated taxi costs about 5 pound one way. i would recommend taking mostly english currency with you, you get better deals and most places want it. it was our first time to turkey would definatley go back. if you fly to dalaman airport be warned very expensive on return journey macdonalds 20 pound! take food with you to airport.one other thing we not told about you need to get a visa when you arrive at turkey costs£10 and that has to be english currency.

I have just come home from 1 week at the Sunshine Holiday Resort and I'm missing it already. I made some great new friends and the people working there did everything possible to make my stay enjoyable.
It is 5 minutes walk to the edge of the town and 15 to the busy part. This is perfect if you want a chilled out break with everything in good reach of where you're staying
The apartments are spotless with all the facilities I needed
You can laze by the pool, take a trip to the blue lagoon close by or go on one of the many excursions. I travelled alone and felt safe all the time. The Manageress and the bar staff were very friendly and always kept us entertained at this peaceful but fun resort.
I would go back to the Sunshine Holiday Resort tomorrow!
