Nearby you’ll find a sprinkling of bars, restaurants and shops, while the livelier Playa De La Arena and Playa San Juan are a short taxi ride away.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

The resort is built around its spectacular water areas, headlined by the signature infinity pool that seems to pour into the ocean.

Pools

  – Vast saltwater infinity pool with whirlpool sections, sunbeds, hammocks, Balinese and swing beds (Bali beds at extra charge).
  – Heated adults-only freshwater pool with its own calm sunbathing area, hammocks and parasols.
  – Two heated children’s freshwater pools, one with slides and whirlpool zones; inflatables and water toys permitted.
• Colourful splash park with tipping bucket, sprinklers, water cannons and more (typically 10:00–18:00; age/height restrictions may apply).
• Complimentary pool towels for guests.

The hotel fronts a rocky shoreline and promenade rather than a classic sandy beach immediately in front, but you’re close to several small volcanic and golden-sand beaches at Playa De La Arena and Playa San Juan, easily reached by short taxi rides or local transport.
