Wide sunbathing terraces are lined with sunbeds, umbrellas and indulgent Balinese beds for long, lazy afternoons with a book. Pool towels are provided against a refundable deposit.
The sandy/pebble beach is just 100m away, so you can alternate between pool and sea in minutes. Facilities and services may vary by pool and season, but you can expect a calm, laid-back atmosphere that suits couples and families with older children.
