For lunch or dinner, Il Pappagallo offers a sensory dining experience where you can enjoy your meal just steps from the refreshing sea breeze, featuring a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Depending on your preference, you can choose from Bed and Breakfast, Half Board, or Full Board meal plans.

Pools and Spa

The resort is a water-lover's paradise, featuring three expansive outdoor pools spread across the grounds. The highlight is undoubtedly the dedicated pool area featuring the signature giant water slides, which provide hours of entertainment for thrill-seekers. If you’re looking for a slower pace, you can retreat to the wellness centre for a traditional Thai massage or a rejuvenating body treatment. Please note that the use of the spa centre, including massages, the sauna, and various treatments, may be subject to additional charges.

Beach

The stunning Karon Beach is within walking distance, located approx. 150 metres from the resort entrance. As Karon is a public beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are managed by local providers and are typically available at an extra charge.

Sport and Entertainment

If you like to stay active, you can head to the on-site gym for a morning workout or join in with the daily poolside activities. As the sun sets, the resort takes on a chic setting for tranquil relaxation, with a bar area perfect for a cool drink. You’ll often find live music or light evening entertainment to help you unwind after a day under the sun.

Family Amenities

Kids will love the dedicated splash zone and the supervised mini-club, which organises a daily programme of games and creative crafts. There is also a dedicated playground and a shallow kids' pool, ensuring the youngest travellers have a safe and exciting space to play while you relax on a nearby lounger.
