Having returned right at the end of the season, we didn't know what to expect, but were very pleasantly surprised. The reduced staff were as delightful as ever and despite the hotel being quietly packed away for the off-season, were always very attentive and it was as clean as ever. The low occupancy meant that it was largely quiet and even more relaxed without so much arranged entertainment. This was available in Ocean Bay hotel 100m down the road. The food quality was superb and the kitchen never stopped making more than enough, so a diet is now required. Without the beach cleaner, the beach was a bit scruffy, particularly as there were several celebrations on it at night. However, since it's the tourists that usually leave the mess, 10 minutes filling a rice bag with litter was no great loss or effort. Two things were obvious though; Firstly several guests were openly concocting complaints for a later attempt at a discount. I didn't know that this was 'a thing' but the hotel staff were on to it, so Tui beware. Secondly, the creeping in of personal speakers has not yet been stopped here, so the pool area is now a cacophony of noise, though some seem ok with this. If this gets to the beach there will be many looking elsewhere for a holiday. All in all the 'end of term' atmosphere at Sunset Beach was different, but still worth the flight.
