Sunshine Vacation Club

The Eagles Nest resort was great because it was close to entertainment yet quiet and convenient for the vacationer. I would attend this resort again and recommend it to a friend or co worker.

be careful of club sunshine ixia rhodes i went with my son a couple of years ago where my son purchased points for time share he was lied to as i was in the room when he was purchasing them i believe the man has now gone who sold them to him but be aware.

Food always replenishedShort Transfer. Not 4 star possibly 2 starAwful roomsDirty had to wait all the time to be served 10 minutes at some point only one waiter per barWould never recommend

The Sunshine Vacation Club is a very good hotel, good services, loved staying there. Stayed there in September 2007 and I would recommend this accommodation.

Arrived at the airport only to get stopped by the drug squad to be strip searched, nice welcome! So make sure you get your cases and leave the airport as quickly as you can, in a group and don't dare to dress different!

Taxi to the hotel was 13 Euros. Ask for a price list from the driver as they have set tariffs to different parts of the island, all for reasonable prices.

On arrival at the hotel the main foyer is large, airy and all marble, nice and cool. The reception staff were very friendly and spoke good English.

The only problem with arriving late at 2am, is that there is nowhere to get a drink, there are no facilities in the room or round the resort, so be prepared and take something with you.

Once you have booked yourself in, the porter takes your cases and if you're in the last block, he will show you to your room as well, on a kind of golfing cart.

The rooms are like any other hotel room, cleaned every day, beds made and towels changed. Beach towels are available free of charge and there are plenty of sunbeds but if you want to get close to the main pool, be prepared to get up earlier than the Germans, to stake your claim with your towel, when we arrived we observed the towel ritual, at 3.30 am!

The resort is clean and tidy, not suitable for disabled people though, due to the amount of steps.

Up until now it has been leased to a German tour operator, all this is set to change next season with a major refurbishment of the rooms and a change of management, so next season it will be readily available to the British market.

The Sunshine Vacation staff are very helpful and friendly.

The food is OK like most other all inclusive hotels but gets a bit repetitive after a few days. The waiters are very efficient but may take your plate whilst you still have the cutlery in your hand, we saw the funny side of it though.

The hotel is on the arrivals flight path but I have to be honest, it didn't really bother us.

On the whole it's a lovely clean hotel and right on the beach and plenty to keep the kids occupied.

The staff in the resort are friendly and helpful.

On a lighter note, we did a daily video diary of the things we got up to whilst on holiday at this hotel, with some hints and tips, which you will find amusing, we have posted it on YouTube. Oh and please feel free to leave any comments below.
