Delicious Breakfast Options

I absolutely loved the breakfast at the Sunshine Grill. The a la carte breakfast was excellent, especially the scrambled eggs which were cooked to perfection. Every morning I enjoyed an array of fresh fruits, pastries, and juices, making it a good start to my day. The ambiance of the breakfast place with the outdoor seating was simply lovely!

Cozy and Functional Room

My room at Sunshine Suites was equipped with a kitchenette, which was perfect for our needs. While the studio was on the smaller side, it had everything necessary, including a decent fridge and stove, which allowed us to cook some meals during our stay. The comfortable bed and clean linens made for a restful night's sleep!

Access to Westin Amenities

Having access to the amenities at the Westin was a major highlight of my trip. The beautiful beach with plenty of loungers, the lovely pool, and the happy hour made it an excellent experience. Being able to enjoy the luxurious facilities without the hefty cost of staying at the Westin was a perfect balance for our vacation!

Clean and Functional Bathroom

The bathroom was small but very clean and well-maintained. It had everything I needed, and the water pressure was great. While the size was a bit tight, it served its purpose well. I appreciated the cleanliness and the attention provided by the cleaning staff during our stay. Every detail helped make our experience comfortable!

I had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Suites. It's a laid-back and clean place, just a short walk from the stunning 7 Mile Beach. The rooms were a bit worn and had a musty smell, which was disappointing, but the grounds were beautifully maintained and created a relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast options were sufficient to start my day, although it could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a great value for money with a friendly vibe that made my vacation enjoyable.

I found this hotel quite enjoyable due to its affordability, especially when you consider the access to the Westin's amenities across the street. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to help. However, I did notice some moldy smells in certain areas that detracted from the overall experience. Plus, while you have the option to cook in the kitchenette, it's somewhat basic, which may not suit everyone's dining needs.
