Sun Beach Hôtel

“Great - But exactly what it says on the tin”

There are no airs and graces with this 3 star hotel. The rooms are basic but have working aircon and WiFi. No kettle or fridge. Great pool although a little weathered. The kids won’t care. Deck chairs and lots of shady areas around he pool. There is a nice cafe / bar where you can have a coffee o… more

There are no airs and graces with this 3 star hotel. The rooms are basic but have working aircon and WiFi. No kettle or fridge. Great pool although a little weathered. The kids won’t care. Deck chairs and lots of shady areas around he pool. There is a nice cafe / bar where you can have a coffee or a drink. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the maids are attentive and hard working. We stayed a week and enjoyed every minute. Sea View rooms are excellent. Bus stop to Ajaccio is just a 5 minute walk (£1 per trip or £3 for all day pass - ‘pass journee’). Pay on the bus. No 5 or 2bis buses into town or out to Parata (not much to see but nice scenic drive out there on the bus). There is a pharmacy, boulangerie (bakery/patisserie) and a supermarket just down the hill (3 min walk). Plenty of free parking too. The hotel is not cheap but neither is Corsica.

“Decent, honest, basic hotel”

Sun Beach Hotel is around 2 km west of Ajaccio town centre, and overlooks the bay. It has 10 floors, with approx 14 rooms on each floor.

Sun Beach Hotel is around 2 km west of Ajaccio town centre, and overlooks the bay. It has 10 floors, with approx 14 rooms on each floor. It's of concrete construction, and the rooms are all a good size with their own en-suite and air conditioning as standard. We booked for one night at the end of our holiday, so we could chill out and relax before flying back to the UK. The price was low for the area. We booked this hotel as it had a pool, and we just wanted to stay near to the airport as we had been staying up in the mountains. So, we were met by the receptionist who was very friendly, and gave us our keys to the rooms. The rooms are very basic, but have air con, and are of good size. Our rooms had balconies - I think they all do. The beds are comfortable and well presented, and there's a TV with all the local channels, simple washing items and towels. It's all very clean and tidy, although a bit dated, which we expected at such a reasonable price. The pool is nice too, and there are a few sun loungers available, and you can use the hotel towels at the pool. The bar is on the ground floor and serves all day. There's a restaurant too, although we chose to eat out. In all, a decent hotel for not too much wonga, ideal for a short stay.

“Average”

I liked how deep and long the pool was. One of the receptionists was also quite amicable and the bathroom was nice and big. However, the bed wasn't amazing and the room itself rather inelegant. It was also a bit too far from the centre, but it's not exactly their fault. I thought it was rather e… more

I liked how deep and long the pool was. One of the receptionists was also quite amicable and the bathroom was nice and big. However, the bed wasn't amazing and the room itself rather inelegant. It was also a bit too far from the centre, but it's not exactly their fault. I thought it was rather expensive, as all places are in Corsica in this season.
