We had a lovely time at the Royal Sun Resort. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Our apartment was spacious and clean, a little old in places but all functional. The breakfast and evening meals were all fabulous.
There's not much to do in the evenings that may suit some people,also not great if you don't like hills. The views are probably some of the best on the island.

The room was spacious and clean. We didn’t think it was “dated”, as another reviewer wrote, and yet I’m sure it wasn’t one of the newly refurbished rooms. We were more than pleased with the room. The terrace is huge with beautiful views. (Such a shame the clouds blocked the sunset the day we were there,) We stayed just one night, being based in Santa Cruz for our vacation in Tenerife. We came for the night to go on one of the whale-watching boats the next day. We walked down to the marina and climbed back up. We are oldsters, but it was fine (though I wouldn’t want to be carrying much going back up). We do have some gripes, though. A room with a kitchenette that is fully equipped should have some tea and coffee. That’s being cheap to not provide that. Likewise, we took half-board and the dinner was underwhelming. We are vegetarian and asked when we reserved if we’d find what to eat and were told there were vegetarian options. There was salad, no fresh fruits other than an apple or banana (I’d think cut melon, for example, would have been in order) and the hot dishes - even if I weren’t vegetarian - were not impressive. For a vegetarian, there was little. There could have been a larger selection of cheeses (I’m not vegan), which is true of breakfast, too. But the most irritating thing at dinner was that a hot drink - tea or coffee - is not included! When one of the hosts came to ask if everything was OK, I commented about that, and she said they wouldn’t charge us. But a buffet dinner with no hot drinks is a nickel-and-dime business model, and gives a bad feeling. Breakfast was better than dinner, with salad, different cheeses (there still could be a better selection), some fresh fruit, though, again, a larger selection would have been nice. At least the hot drinks were part of the buffet. So, if there were an option to put stars for the food, I’d give 3 stars for the food. I didn’t reduce the overall stars, though, because the room and view were a pleasure, and the staff were pleasant.

Royal sun is a great place tucked away from tourists. We enjoyed a week stay here. They have an entertainment crew and provide fun activities each day except Mondays. The breakfast is wonderful and lots of choices. The view is spectacular but the pool is not heated. Great stay!

Lovely room, great view. It's a 20 minute walk to center so need taxi back as all uphill. Disappointed to not be able to get poached eggs on day 2 even though they have a chef , also prefer to get a pot of tea rather than make 5 small one's - breakfast is very good. Visit to natural pool (20 minutes walk) is amazing and I will return for that amazing experience

We were surprised to find this gem on the top of the hill with all rooms facing a stunning sunset sea view 😍 💙
Hotel it's very clean and has a carpark which needs to be booked in advance, as the spaces are limited.
Room was very spacious with a kitchen and lounge included.
The only 4 stars are given for the location, as it's a bit of an uphill walk, but they do have a shop downstairs where you can find the essentials 😉 (plus an ice cream)
I would definitely return here 👍
