Travelled with a group of friends (approx. 8 pax) and also took along our 4 month old infant for our maiden trip to Christmas Island and stayed at the Sunset for a week.

If you are looking for a good relax in nice, clean surroundings, the Sunset is it. The owner, Angela, was extremely helpful and very accomodating.

The lodge itself had simple amenities but certanly sufficient for the group of us City folks. Though we hardly used the pool, it certainly looked inviting and well kept. With air condition to beat the heat on Christmas Island, and lots of space for friends to sit together to enjoy the sea breeze, the Sunset was surely well worth the money and time spent on Christmas Island.

There are very few tourists on Christmas Island at the moment, with flight schedules up in the air, and the few hotels often full of government workers. But if you do go, you will be amply rewarded by a wonderful island.

We stayed at the Sunset which had great views (take a top floor Ocean View Room), and was clean, comfortable and run a very friendly and informative couple. It's more akin to a motel, and no food is available, so you need a car (4x4 is best!) to get around, but you do get a fridge, microwave and toaster, and there is a pub a short stroll away (better food available a short drive away). Free internet access as well.

It's certainly not full service, but Sunset does exactly what it needs to do, and I didn't see anything better. Nice little pool to relax in (as you can't access the sea from our front as it's too rocky). Highly and happily recommended.
