This is little suites based hotel with few swimming pools, all inclusive food and drinks and free shuttle ti the beach. Room was spacious with big balcony and sea view. Predominantly, most of the guests were from French speaking countries and there was animation team, but french speaking.

Good break
I e read lots of bad reviews about it but I decided to give a try. Food is good lots of veggies and meats, something for everyone, Appartament very clean, 3 pools one situated half way going towards the beach. Very good customer service, speak to Julia and she will sort everything out. Down side: toilet seats across all resorts need a bit of fixing same as toilet flash systems. Too much French music by the big pool. Overall very good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hotel with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staff
The hotel is tired,the beds are a small double, the bed linen and bath linen is old and small.very basic rooms. Can't fault the staff, from the manager to the girls and the chef they really make the hotel. I didn't like the hotel but the staff is so fantastic that I would go back. There is something about it that makes you feel comfortable and welcome.

Left without moving in
Booked an AI 8-day vacation for a family of 5 (12m, 15f, 22m, 22m, 49f). Arrived 06/21 early morning. Waiting for the room we had breakfast. We all liked food but dishes were dirty. Soon our room was ready. At this time reception staff was really nice. The real shock was when we saw the rooms. It is like summer camps in the 1970's. But its a 4-star hotel... or said to be. Based on photos you would never guess what you get. An apartment where hall is the kitchenette at the same time plus a very worn & torn dirty bathroom. No wardrobe, only 2 really small shelves. Beds done for 3. They apologized & brought us 2 other sets of linen. We looked around dumb of shock. Immediately wanted to check net to find another hotel. You needed a code for the wifi. You have to pay for it in the rooms. So went back to lobby, checked opportunities, taxied there,booked, taxied back. I told the receptionists we move out they started to blame me saying I should have asked for a wardrobe or put our clothes in the kitchenette (!!!), and anyway we came 5 though we booked only for 3. Showed me a paper to prove this - saying "3 adults, 2 children" - simply missed to read it. I paid the total vacation in advance so they gain full price for serving one breakfast. Before booking I read all traveler reviews and have to admit its my fault not to listen to warnings not to come here. Staying in downtown, having chats with Greek llocals (all really nice) very interesting they all know whats going on there.

Don't rely on the brand Best Western
We only stayed for two nights and did not have high expectations for the price we paid. However it was worse. Our room was located in the basement had windows and a balcony but all facing the wall. The bathroom had mold. We asked for another room but apparently they were fully booked.

Best thing that happened to us in Crete
Stayed for 4 nights - it was the best thing that could have happened to us in Chersonissos, Crete. The rooms are spacy, with fantastic natural light coming in. The varanda was a treat. Public areas are well cleaned and taken care off. Plants are mostly smell giving, such as Jasmine, Lime trees and so on. The pool is clean. Towels are replaces daily, rooms are cleaned daily, meals were great. My friend is a vegiterian and always gets stuck at hotel dining rooms - not in this case, all meals had a wide varaity and food was tasty. Pool bar and lobby bar were great. Reception staff were helpful. Well, all the staff were fantastic. Rooms have a key locked safe, air-conditioner, bath-shower, kitchenette that has no use but it's good to have a refrigerator in the room. Place is suitable for families with kids. It's not a luxury hotel, but rather a good, fine, well mantained hotel. Hotel is out of town, but operates a free of charge shuttle service. Nearby are 3 small local villages - it's worth taking a walk. We highly recommend the Best Western Sunshine Village. Hope to be back again.

great hotel for the family
fantastic stay, enjoyed everything apart from the steep hill if you are wanting to go down to the beach or town, however a short walk up the other way takes you to other supermarkets and old town which is by far better than the touristy parts! Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there!!

real hospitality
although the hotel is situated on top of small hill but for me it was a nice sport to do the few minutes walk. I see it as a perfect location for holiday in Crete . it is with nice views on the Mediterranean , a walking distance from the water park with it's many activities (not too many rides and small beach, more suitable for young people) and it's close to the town with its many restaurants, cafes and shops besides availability of car rentals so you will have the nice feeling of being in the country (especially with the small villages 10 minutes away) without being far from urban life and beaches the all inclusive option is quite and experience with the generosity and richness in option, the pool is nice with amazing views and the nights on the terrace are unforgettable. my recommendation is to rent a small car for about 30 euros a day and travel around the island a little and have breaks after everyday you go on long exploration trip, spend it at the hotel and there are many near by attractions or half day trips so you can have at least breakfast and dinnner at the hotel and try one of the many restaurant and cafes around the island while travelling the apartments has small kitchenettes and small terraces .. the kind manager told me about plans of expansion and adding more entertainment and activities to the hotel. In Brief; I really enjoyed my stay at Sunshine Village

The hotel was not a 4 star Hotel. Incomprehensible they have 4 star. I dont no where to start - it was a shabby hotel. The breakfast was so terrible - we bought it elsewhere. We got drinks in colored plastik cups - intended for children. The drinks tastet not good. We got other rooms - because there was so high music every night. There was so loud music at the pool every day - feels like it was a party hotel. Total misleading pictures and discriptions of the Hotel. The guides at the Hotel only speak French.

Not a 4 star hotel
Nice hotel, but the pictures on website of hotel looks a lot better than realitty. In my opinion not a 4 star hotel but 3 star. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Good location with walking distance to beach. The hotel area could really need a cleaning hand. Some areas looked really tired and not well maintained. Maybe because of Covid19?? 3 pool areas but the one for small children was not cleaned at att during our stay and there were small rocks and dirt on the ground so our kid hurt them self when walking around the pool area. Asuggestion for improvement is tobadd toilet facilities and small bar or similar the kids pool ares so you don't have to walk 5minutes to nearest toilet and bar. We had all inclusive in our stay and i'm a bit dissapoikted about selection of food made available, especially for the kids. For breakfast there was very little selection of bread available, not even toast bread. For lunch/dinner there where spaghetti bolognese and fish every and a small variety of greek food, but I would consider all meals more or less the same for all days. Some days with fries and maybe even burgers would have been nice. Our kids could not understand why there was no french fries, and I don't think I have ever sgayed in a hotel who did not serve this at all. An old VW shuttle bus took you from one end of hotel to the other end in 2 minutes and worked fine, but driver goes really fast greek style 😉

Freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Leider ist im Hotel ein französischer Club angesiedelt. Somit sind viele Franzosen dort und die täglich mehrmals statt findenden Animationen sind leider großteils nur für Leute die über den Club gebucht haben. Man wird standardmäßig französisch vom Personal gegrüßt. Sehr gutes Essen, die Zimmer sind groß. Die Gläser waren nicht immer sauber. Der Minigolfplatz und der Volleyballplatz war leider verwahrlost. Der Ausblick ist traumhaft schön. Basketball, Tennis, Squash, Bogenschießen, Dart war alles möglich. Nachts hört man bei geöffnetem Fenster die laute Musik von den umliegenden Nachbarhotels. Da ist jede Nacht in einem anderem Hotel was Los. Im großen und ganzen würde ich das Hotel weiter empfehlen, da wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben und das Personal sehr freundlich ist, essen war auch lecker und die Hauptmahlzeiten frisch gekocht. Tut mir leid das zu schreiben, aber ich persönlich würde aufgrund der Zielgruppe (Franzosen) dann doch lieber ein Hotel mit Animationen in einer für mich verständlichen Sprache aussuchen und bei dem Animationen für jeden Hotelgast sind und nicht nur für jene, die über einen externen französischen Club gebucht haben.

Das Hotel ist absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Das Personal ist extrem unfreundlich und inkompetent. Keine Handtücher für Liege am Pool. Die Handtücher in Zimmer werden alle zwei Tage ausgetauscht So dass man selber welche kaufen müsste. Das Essen war eine Katastrophe, bei den Restorants hat sich das rum gesprochen in der Umgebung so das die sich gefreut haben das wir außerhalb des Hotels gegessen haben ob wohl wir voll Pension hatten. Nie wieder
