How To Enjoy Your Trip To Sunrise Resort

Last Updated on: 11th September 2022, 01:09 pm

Shop Around When You Book

I know it is easier to just go to a shop and book a holiday but shopping around can save you hundreds of pounds. We booked through Holiday Gems but would never book through them again. They have awful customer service and booked the wrong room for us. When you book somewhere, check the holiday company reviews on Trustpilot. Do not use the reviews from where people have just booked a holiday, these are left to inflate the good reviews. Scroll down and read the genuine reviews from experiences people have had with the company. When you choose your trip to Sunrise Resort, book into the Sunrise hotel rather than the Starlight.

Think About Where You Want To Stay On Your Trip To Sunrise Resort

There are two hotels in the World Of Sunrise Resort. There are the Starlight and the Sunrise hotels. The Starlight is the older hotel and therefore needs a fair bit of upkeep doing to it. The accommodation is older and more dated. Whereas the Sunrise hotel is newer and less worn out.

When you book your trip To Sunrise Resort you need to decide if you want to stay in the hotel or one of the surrounding little buildings. The surrounding buildings are all hidden within trees and the view from the rooms is lovely.

If you have a disability or problem walking, then you are better to stay in the hotel itself. Although if you want to stay in one of the little buildings, there are golf buggies to help people with disabilities. You need to phone from your room and they will come and collect you.

The golf buggies also help you to check in and out, so they can get busy.

Tip The Staff On Your Trip To Sunrise Resort

The staff at the World Of Sunrise work hours upon hours to make your holiday enjoyable. They work for a few lira a month and rely on tips to make the difference between surviving and living. The amount of money you bring to your holiday to waste away on a couple of weeks in the sun. Is probably more than they earn in a month. So even tipping 1 Euro or 20 lira a time will help them earn more money. We averaged out at 30 – 50 lira a time with our tips.

On your trip to Sunrise Resort, if you tip the staff you also find you get slightly better service too as they are so grateful for the extra help. Leave a tip daily in the fridge for the drinks guy. But We left a huge tip at the end of the holiday for the maid so that she knew the money on the side was for her. We also left it in a bedroom so the minibar guy didn’t mistake it for his tip.

Be Polite To The Staff On Your Trip To Sunrise Resort

The staff are working in the hotel, doing long shifts to make sure that your holiday goes without a blip. They are working in 40-degree sun in the summer. so imagine how hard that must be? We moan when it gets to 25 degrees and we have to go to work.

Even if you are frustrated about something, please remember that it is not the fault of the staff member that you are talking to. Be polite and you will get a lot further with them.

There is no excuse for bad manners. A please and thank you goes a long way and makes them feel more appreciated.

Use The Kids Club

This hotel kids club is the best one that I have ever seen. It opens at 10 am and runs all day until 6 pm. Giving parents time for some quality time by themselves, whilst the kids are safe. The kids club is inside a secure fence and there are different rooms for kids of different ages. It is for kids up to 12 years old. Then at 13, they can use the teen club, where they do more sports.

After the kids club closes, there is a mini disco in the amphitheatre. This is on from 8.30 until 9 pm. They speak English, Russian, German as well as a few other languages. And they get all of the kids involved. There is even a kid’s festival through the summer once a week.

Watch The Entertainment

I have been to hotels where the entertainment is simply shit! It is the animation staff on stage trying to do some kind of amateur show. And then it is repeated a couple of times a week. So when you go for two weeks, you see the same thing over and over again.

BUT the entertainment at the Sunrise resort is awesome. They bring in outside entertainers, so every night in the amphitheatre is different. They seem to favour circus-type entertainment, so it did get a bit samey. But overall it was awesome. There is also another evening entertainment over at the starlight, as well as occasional entertainment close to the beach.

Book An Ala Carte Restaurant

Although the food in the restaurants isn’t too bad and there is a wide choice, you can book an ala carte restaurant to eat in. You are able to book one visit to an ala carte restaurant for every week that you are there. So 2 weeks at the World Of Sunrise means 2 ala carte restaurant visits for free.

There are also restaurants that you can book for a 10 Euro cost per person. You can book as many of these as you want.

Get Involved In Activities On Your Trip To Sunrise Resort

There are so many activities during the day, from water polo and water gym to darts or archery. These are great for meeting new friends and also keeping busy on holiday. Keep an eye out for foam parties too, these usually happen once a week through the summer and less often towards September and October.

Ride On The Land Train

You do not need to be a kid to ride the land train. But it helps for appearance’s sake if you do have one with you. haha. The train goes from the Sunrise resort main entrance to the Starlight main pool area, then on to the tennis courts and the aqua park. It runs from 10 am until 5 pm. There are stops along the way to get on and off, but the train doesn’t automatically stop. You can press the button and the train really stops anywhere you need it to.

Swim In All Of The Swimming Pools

At the resort, there are so many different pools that you can use. Because there are so many pools there was never any bother getting a sun lounger either. You could go to a pool at 2 pm and still be able to find somewhere to relax.

The Sunrise hotel has a pool where all of the activity takes place with the animation team. Then they have a second pool called the quiet pool. There is no music playing by the side of this pool and it is a place to relax.

The Starlight hotel has the main pool as well as the elephant pool. There is an over 16-year-old pool, that can be found on top of the cave. And a waterfall pool that is underneath the cave.

There is the aqua park with its different pools and also some indoor pools to enjoy. Whether you are staying in the Sunrise or the Starlight, you can use any of these pools.

Visit The Aqua Park

Having an aqua park at the resort is awesome! It is located away from the other pools, so you can enjoy yourself and make as much noise as you like. Leaving the other pools for people to relax in. There are slides and even a mini beach for the babies to play in.

If you get hungry there is a snack bar as well as a drinks bar. The kids club is also located in the aqua park. The train stops here once an hour so you can come over from the Starlight and use the facilities. It is within walking distance from the Sunrise

Use Both Hotel Facilities

When people book the hotel, they do not realise that you can use the facilities at both hotels. I have heard many people staying at the Starlight hotel, say that the Sunrise has better facilities. You can walk between both hotels, although in the summer it will be hot. So you might want to use the land train instead.

There is no charge to use the other hotel on the resort and it breaks your holiday up a little bit too.
