If updated accommodations are important, request those in the Clarence building or the posh St. James River Suites.

"Of the three Sunsets, this mid-range property stands out for its trio of beaches, relatively low rates, and impressive water park, with a lazy river, waterfalls, hot tubs, a sunken pirate ship "
