Across recent reviews, Sunbay Resort is praised for scenic lake views, spacious areas in some units, and friendly, helpful staff, while recurring drawbacks include inconsistent cleanliness, occasional maintenance or key issues, and variability in room amenities.
Several guests highlight family friendly facilities such as the pool, playgrounds, koi pond, and the convenient Back Porch Grill restaurant. Accommodation types differ: some full condos include kitchens, while others may lack basics like a fridge, microwave, or toiletries, and a few note A/C or mattress discomfort. Overall, expect a pleasant but older lakeside resort experience with quality depending on the unit you receive.

We had a good overnight stay. We stayed in the main building. Cons: This is an older hotel. We had a jacuzzi bathtub but the jets were nasty looking so I opted for a shower instead. In our particular room, no fridge or microwave and had to ask for toiletries. None in room. The beds were older and springy. No breakfast available but you do get coupons for a restaurant next door. Pros: the staff is very friendly, the view from our room was gorgeous. It was in a great location. The restaurant attached ‘the back porch’ was really good. The hotel had a heated pool although we didn’t have time to use it. The pillows were very comfortable and overall a clean room. We would definitely stay again!

These are condos. They are a bit dated but comfortable. Great view of the lake. A couple of air condition issues. Great staff at the front desk. Excellent Security (Chase)! The restaurant is convenient and the chicken fried steak and grilled chicken alfredo are excellent! Free washer and dryer down the hall. Towels are not automatically replaced, so you have to take the dirty ones down to the attendant yourself to have them replaced with clean ones.

It was a wonderful experience! Great place to stay! Great view, relaxing, clean! Only issue was only 2 burners worked (one half worked) and we saw a couple of bugs around stove. But it was still worth it.

This would've easily been a 5 star stay if the Jacuzzi didn't have to cleaned out before use. I can understand if it at least looked like the mess could've happened recently. But 2 to 3 dozen dead bugs in the bottom of the tub on arrival? Just nasty. Outside of that, might be one of the best stays of its caliber that I've ever had honestly.

First, the room that I originally selected was not the room that I recieved and I did not know or realize it until I checked in. Secondly, the room it self was filty! The door had some type of red spill on it that the housekeeper obviously looked over. Not sure if it was blood, ketchup juice or what. The dresser drawers had things in them from the previous vistor. One of the blankets that was made up on the bed had, the red, stuff that over door all over it also on the door. I paid entirely too much for the dirty that I received! The only reason I did not complain is because my husband feared retaliation, however I do have pictures and a video!!!

Well it wasn't a good two night stay to have 2 children in with the hidden bed which was new to me i have never in all my life of staying out ever got something like this. it was like 3 feet from kitchen counter top to the other side of the wall. bathroom ok. It wasn't advertised the same as it was actually. no pool for the children and i was told yes we have a pool year round at 84 degrees. I left a bag with my beach towels in it that i had put away and didn't use due to no pool. realizing I had left them after I got home called and was told they weren't there. Very disappointed. It's just not modernized when you get off the elevator it looks disappointing with the ash trays still on the walls from way back and just old looking. Will probably not be staying there again. Even in the other rooms where I had a friend with two beds not even a microwave or small refrigator.

Beware the pictures of rooms are misleading. I thought that we would have a kitchenette but we didn't even have a fridge or microwave. The service was wonderful though 🙂 The restaurant and bar were perfect. The veiw is amazing!! No shampoo, soap or anything like that so remember to bring your own. We had two rooms with two beds but would have been nice to have the essentials. We did get the cheapest room so just take that into consideration when looking at the pics. Otherwise it was an amazing stay! Definitely recommend sitting on the deck for dinner and drinks!! Wonderful employees!!

Clerk said that they were a resort not a Hotel . So the pics were misleading .

Dont expect an early check in, we checked in after 4 and at 10 am sharp they call your phone and rush u out like dogs. I wont stay here again for 230 a night, i refuse to be treated that way. I've done front desk for several years and they couldve considered my request. Theres other resorts around. And it needs updating badly.

We had a good overnight stay. We stayed in the main building. Cons: This is an older hotel. We had a jacuzzi bathtub but the jets were nasty looking so I opted for a shower instead. In our particular room, no fridge or microwave and had to ask for toiletries. None in room. The beds were older and springy. No breakfast available but you do get coupons for a restaurant next door. Pros: the staff is very friendly, the view from our room was gorgeous. It was in a great location. The restaurant attached ‘the back porch’ was really good. The hotel had a heated pool although we didn’t have time to use it. The pillows were very comfortable and overall a clean room. We would definitely stay again!

Beware the pictures of rooms are misleading. I thought that we would have a kitchenette but we didn't even have a fridge or microwave. The service was wonderful though 🙂 The restaurant and bar were perfect. The veiw is amazing!! No shampoo, soap or anything like that so remember to bring your own. We had two rooms with two beds but would have been nice to have the essentials. We did get the cheapest room so just take that into consideration when looking at the pics. Otherwise it was an amazing stay! Definitely recommend sitting on the deck for dinner and drinks!! Wonderful employees!!

Good view, spacious room, but: needs a complete remodel, no restaurant, no shower gel, hair dryer, shampoo, body lotion. The restaurant next door was closed the night we stayed. Could hear the neighbor room air conditioning or bathroom fan all night. Despite blinds installed it was quite bright in the room, so better bring a sleeping mask in case you're sensitive to that

It was confusing, there is a restaurant and a hotel in the same building. Its good for stop and go. There are good restaurants around the building.

The back porch grill food was great, however sitting inside the staff chose to raise the blinds and my table with drinks waiting for order was consumed in the dust on blind and sill. The bill was extremely high one steak dinner was 85.00 one other was 45.00 and limited shrimp pasta was 40.00 we had cokes to drink butter and sour cream was add on’s appetizer mozzarella sticks was $12. One stuffed mushroom was $14. I will never be able to go back because of the price gouging.

These are condos. They are a bit dated but comfortable. Great view of the lake. A couple of air condition issues. Great staff at the front desk. Excellent Security (Chase)! The restaurant is convenient and the chicken fried steak and grilled chicken alfredo are excellent! Free washer and dryer down the hall. Towels are not automatically replaced, so you have to take the dirty ones down to the attendant yourself to have them replaced with clean ones.

The studio room with multiple beds was a bit misleading. One bed is a double Murphy bed and the other is a couch bed. Very crowded and not the nicest room. But the price was right for our last minute trip.

Staff was great, sadly no breakfast but the water was great. The hotel is a little old and it shows age in the rooms and the beds aren't the most comfortable but they were clean. Loved the stay and I would stay again for sure.
