The hotel's own beach is steps away, where you can relax on the sand or take a dip in in the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel also has an outdoor swimming pool, plus a smaller pool for children. You'll have poolside and beach waiter service, so you can order drinks and snacks right from your sun lounger. The hotel is set within palm-fringed gardens. It has a classic whitewashed exterior with traditional stone columns and arched doorways and windows. The light and airy bedrooms are decorated in a neutral style, with pale walls, wooden furniture and tiled floors to help keep you cool. During your stay, you can soak in the indoor pool or while away an afternoon at the spa, which has a sauna and a Turkish bath. If you're in need of extra pampering, you could also treat yourself to a massage or a beauty and wellness treatment. If you'd rather stay active, you can work out in the gym, take a fitness class or join an aerobics or aqua aerobics session. Down on the beach, the hotel offers beach volleyball and a range of water-based activities, usually including canoeing and windsurfing. The hotel has three bars and two restaurants, and it's also within walking distance of the resort centre, where you'll find seafood restaurants, open-air cafÈs and beach bars. In the evenings you can enjoy the hotel-run entertainment, followed by a dance in the nightclub.
