The Sunshine Hotel and Suites is a mid-range suites property in the Seven Mile Beach area. Suite-style rooms give families and small groups more space than a standard hotel room, and it is a practical base for travellers who plan to spend their days at the beach and on tours. It is not beachfront, so expect a short ride or walk to the sand. It is a value choice on an expensive island.
Location and getting around
The property is a few miles from West Bay and a short drive from the airport, with restaurants, grocery stores and dive operators nearby. A rental car or taxi is useful for getting to the beach and the sights. Tours pick up in the area, so you can still book Stingray City and snorkel sails without a car.
Rooms and who it suits
Suites typically add a sitting area and kitchen-style facilities, which helps families save on meals and gives groups room to spread out. It is a sensible choice for budget-conscious couples, families and longer stays. If you want resort-style beach service, consider a beachfront property instead. Compare room types to see which have kitchens and which do not.
Good to know
Check what is included, from breakfast to parking and pool access, because mid-range hotels vary. Confirm the distance to the nearest public beach access, since Cemetery Beach and other public points are the best way to reach the sand if you are not on the beachfront. Book early for the winter and spring peak, and read cancellation terms in hurricane season.
Planning your stay
Treat the hotel as a comfortable base and put your money into activities. Public access points along Seven Mile Beach, including Cemetery Beach, let you snorkel from the shore, so you can spend beach days without a resort pass. Add one big water day, Stingray City and Starfish Point being the classic, and use evenings for casual dining or a cooked meal in your suite.
Families can visit the Turtle Centre and Hell in West Bay in one morning, and the Botanic Park and Crystal Caves on the north and central side of the island for a different feel.
A rental car pays for itself here, since the property is not on the sand and the sights are spread out. Before you arrive, check whether your suite has a kitchen, pack a few staples for breakfasts and plan one supermarket run on the first day. Eating in a few times can free up budget for a dive, a charter or a splurge dinner.
