Sunshine Village Apartments – Hersonissos – Review

To cut a long story short, we enjoyed the hotel, the apartment style rooms (didn’t use the kitchen – who would ?), the sunshine and the people. Travelling as a large group of 16 people in all. Aged 8 months to almost 80! We read some iffy reviews before we went, but well, some people are only happy when they are complaining ?! Everyone in our little gang had a great time, and we made some great friends. The staff are all friendly and the whole place is geared up to making sure you have a good time. Watching the news you get the impression it’s all doom and gloom and strikes in Greece – but that wasn’t the case in Crete. Greece still offers something special and we would definitely be happy to go back here.

Had a great holiday here at the Sunshine Village Apartments, booked through Skytours (Thompsons). Great kids club – one of the best we have experienced, the kids loved the activities especially the arts and crafts type stuff. Some people complain about the location on a hill, but the flipside is the superb views from the pool and restaurant.
