The Sunset has a great location and lovely views, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. There is also a pool area with a barbeque. The pool is lovely for an evening swim with a temperature of about 27 degrees. We used the barbeque to have a romantic dinner one night which was just fabulous. Unless you are interested in paying over $1,000 for your accommodation at Swell Lodge, I think the Sunset is one of the best places to stay on Christmas Island. It may not seem like luxurious accommodation but frankly, I wasn't able to find any resort style accommodation on the island. Angela, at the front desk was lovely and tried to help whenever she could. I would recommend hiring a car during your stay to zoom around the island but if you wanted to be without a car for a few days you certainly could manage to walk to many places, including the Supermarket, the Visitors Centre and Flying Fish Cove, from the Sunset. ||There are fabulous birds, including the Golden Bosun (pictures attached) that fly just in front of the Sunset most days. Also, as the name suggests you can enjoy the sunset from your room each evening.||We stayed on the lower level, which was great because there was no one else staying on the lower level. However, it may be better to book the upper level if you want more privacy.
