From arriving at the reception, the staff were very friendly and had everything ready to make check in a breeze.
When we got to our room, it was very clean and as requested near the childrens pool. The room was just as advertised and quite modern.
The area around the pool was well maintained with many different type of trees, all displaying their names in both Spanish & English. There was a large array of sunbeds and no need to reserve at all, although it was quiet so this may change in high season.
The location of the apartments is on a road leading towards the front and was about a 10 minute walk which was pleasant and easy. From walking to the sea front, to the left is Marina Rubicon and to the right the main area of Playa Blanca. A taxi ride home was never for than 3.5 euros.
All in all and excellent holiday and would definitely visit Sun Royal again!

A good sized apartment with everything that you need for a self catering holiday. We asked for a quiet room at the travel agents and this is definitely what we got. It seemed that those of us who had small children were tucked away from the evening entertainment. The rooms were very clean and the linen and towels were changed regularly. There are 2 pools, one is noisy but heated and the other is quiet but cool with a fountain in the middle.
There is a very useful shop on site that can provide you with the basics, bread is cooked throughout the day. A useful internet cafe is also on site and costs a euro for 10 mins.
A lady came around every day to let us know about the entertainment for both adults and children - tennis, water polo, face painting etc. She was very eager but everyone seemed to want a rest! We went out every night so didn't bother with the entertainment.
Yes the apartments are 15 mins from the action (and so very quiet) but the walk helped us to build up an appetite.

We were not sure what to expect having not had a winter sun holiday before. We visited in February and the hotel was about half full. We had a great time and our 4 year old loved it. The entertainment was great for a young family and the kids club was excellent. The food was average but you could have as much as you wanted anyway. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location was a little bit far out especially for short legs! The pool was heated so that helped a great deal.Other facilities good too. Would visit again.

Clean and tidy room, rooms cleaned 5 days a week. It rained for a couple of days so some water leaked in, did not spoil holiday though.

Very clean well presented apartments. Rooms were spacious. Microwave toaster kettle etc. Maid service most days fresh towels everyday.
Although busy time not too noisy or crowded. Good sized pool. Did not see any entertainment went out in the evenings. Staff very helpful.

The apartments are excellent - very clean & well maintained, comprising 2-3 storey apartments surrounding 2 swimming pools.
Cooking facilities were basic, but OK if you plan to eat main meals out. The cafe bar is open all day serving drinks & snacks/meals. The restaurant serves breakfast & evening meals, but we did not use it.
The "Night Bar" is open from 9pm to 1am and hosts the evening entertainment (children are welcome). The quality varies. During our week there was a pair of excellent singers one night (The Harrison Brothers), an awful singer one night (he cleared the bar!), 3 nights of bingo and the dreaded karaoke one night.
The on-site shop was small but well stocked & fine for supplies of milk, bread (baked in-house), beers etc.
A lot depends on which apartment you get. Ours was tucked away in a quiet corner, but some are in poor positions, such as on the edge of the terrace for the cafe bar or above the shop (with the constant "bing bong" signalling new customers from 8am to 8pm!)
There was a good programme of kids' activities planned by the excellent entertainments guy, but this was poorly supported and many activities had to be cancelled due to lack of support, even though this was during the Easter school holidays and there were plenty of kids around, who just didn't want to be sociable.
The apartments are 15 minutes walk from the front, then 10 minutes along the front to the nearest "civilisation". In between we just passed the back of one apartment or hotel after another - no bars to stop off & break the journey. I enjoy walking, but after doing this same return journey 2-3 times each day I was sick of it. Consider taking decent walking shoes rather than flip-flops.

Very clean and well kept complex. The staff are very helpful and informative, also holiday good reps. Supermarket very useful, open 8 until 8 with good range of goods including own baked rools. The bar is a bit small, could be noisy and entertainment is basic but we tendered to go out in the evening. We did not use the restaurant but many others did.
Plenty of free beds round the pools but could do with more umbrellas, not much shade. Apartments could be very warm as no air con but fans available for hire at 15 euros a week.
First floor apartments do not have any shade, ground floor benefits from the shade of balcony above.
Complex is well situated, 15 minutes to the beach, bars and restaurants. Also good pedestian shopping area.
We would use this aparthotel again.

Our appartmement was right next to the kids club but no problem with noise and also if you climbed through the bedroom window you had your own private sunbathing area! The appartment was very clean but needed a fresh coat of paint. Maids came in every day and were always happy and polite. The bedroom was huge but the living area was quite small. We took two small fans but you can hire these from reception (very warm at night in August). The swimming pool was freezing and very salty and pool area crowded (we took reps advice and went next door to Sun Park to swim - it seemed deserted if not a bit smelly).Mattresses for the sun beds are free from reception, sun bed were 'reserved by people as early as the night before! Restaurant food was adequate but a bit expensive at 12 euros adult (6 for children under 11), however you could go up for seconds and thirds if you wanted. If your children are too old for kids club then the facilities are poor, three pool tables (only one cue per table), table tennis (10 euro deposit) and the internet room. Pay per view tele (3euros for 24hrs gives you cartoon network, sky sports and a movie channel. Staff were all very helpful especially the maintenance man who at 1130pm ( and who had finished his shift) came and unlocked our bathroom door that seemed to lock itself!!. The walk to the beach was probably about 15mins in the heat of the day and about 30 mins to the port and shops. Overall not disappointed.

The hotel was situated a short walk from the beach/shopping facilities.
The complex had 2 large pools and to infant pools. Loungers/parasols, free!
The apartment was modern, clean, spacious and had TV, kettle, coffee maker, citrus juicer, toaster, fridge and microwave, two rings on stove.
There was a supermarket on site.
The gardens/grounds were exceptional, kept clean/tidy and lit up at night.
The food in the restaurant was varied with plenty to choose from.
A poolside cafeteria also which you could take away.
