Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sunshine Bay?
The best time to visit Sunshine Bay is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the outdoors.

During this period, the average daily temperatures hover around 20-25°C, making it ideal for beach activities, swimming, and exploring the coastal paths. The sea is also at its warmest, inviting you for a dip in the calm waters. Families with children will particularly appreciate the long, bright days for making the most of the bay's sheltered beaches and picnic spots.

The shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) also offer pleasant conditions with fewer crowds. Temperatures are milder, typically ranging from 15-20°C, and there's still plenty of sunshine. This makes it a great time for couples looking for a more peaceful getaway, allowing them to enjoy leisurely walks along the waterfront or dine at the local eateries without the peak season bustle.

While winter (June to August) is cooler and wetter, with temperatures around 10-14°C, it can still be a good time for those who enjoy brisk walks and cosy evenings.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Sunshine Bay hotel for you.

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips.
