The exact inclusions can change by season and contract, so always check the current details before you travel.

There’s a children’s section in one of the outdoor pools, baby-changing facilities by the pool areas, and the restaurant provides highchairs and a kids’ menu. The official child age for pricing is typically up to 11 years. The atmosphere is more laid-back than lively, making it ideal for families who prefer a quieter, more traditional Greek setting.

5. Does Sunrise Resort Hotel have a gym and wellness facilities?
The hotel offers an air-conditioned gym with cardio equipment, free weights, a stretching zone and fixed strength machines, generally open from late morning to early evening. There’s also a sauna and whirlpool in the same area. Access times and any fees can vary, so check locally when you arrive. Yoga, dance and other classes may also be offered on selected days.

6. What is the Wi-Fi like at Sunrise Resort Hotel?
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, including guest rooms and public areas. Speeds can vary depending on location and occupancy, but it’s usually sufficient for general browsing, messaging and checking emails.

7. Are there many steps at Sunrise Resort Hotel?
The hotel is built on a hillside in several low-rise blocks (around 12 buildings, one floor high, with no lifts), connected by paths and steps. This layout contributes to the views and spacious feel but may be challenging for guests with reduced mobility. If you have mobility concerns, speak to a Travelisto travel designer so we can request a room in a location that best suits your needs, subject to availability.

8. Can I walk into Molivos from the hotel in the evening?
Many guests do choose to walk, particularly downhill into Molivos, which takes around 25–30 minutes depending on pace. The return walk is uphill and more challenging in hot weather, so most people prefer to use the complimentary shuttle bus or a local taxi back to the hotel after dinner.
