A large swimming pool measuring 1800 square meters and children’s pool is set amidst exotic landscaping. It extends right to the edge of the lagoon to satisfy all your swimming needs. Towards the end of the pool is a swim-up bar.

The resort is far from the small island ‘settle back and relax’ concept. It’s big and it’s busy. If you are in a mood for party this is the perfect place for you. Yet, because it is a big island, there are different areas with different feels. The small zone around the water sports centre and beach bar is entirely quiet and laid back and perfect for reading a book (if you are that kind).

This resort comprises of 354 rooms and is among the largest resort in the country by some way. Even after so many rooms, it is a very green island with a full circuit of beach and a long list of activities, so you don't see a lot of your fellow guests except at mealtimes and in the evenings.

                          

Water bungalows account for 72 of the rooms (of which 4 are Presidential Suites). These, as usual, are the premium priced rooms and the interiors are designed to experience ultimate royalty. 

Wood floors and wall panels, a recessed ceiling with cornicing, copper, gold and peach striped textiles, work together to give an aristocratic look. A sizeable sun deck is half stone tiles and half weathered wooden boards, with sun loungers and sun chairs. 

Sun Island is unquestionably a friendly place. The relations between staff and guests are warm and easygoing. The staff is extreme hospital and extremely sensitive to the needs of customers, as they definitely have their reputation to take care. The vibe around the swimming pool and main bar is very good, especially in the evening, as it spills out on to beach side decking.
