Restaurants and Bars
With Full Board Plus, mealtimes are straightforward and good value. The main buffet restaurant serves international dishes at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with plenty of choice for younger and fussy eaters. Expect salads, grilled meats, pasta, local specialities and tempting desserts.
For a change of scene, the atmospheric Vallum Tavern – located at nearby sister property Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa – offers à la carte dining with an international and Dalmatian twist (reservations and supplements may apply depending on your board).
Cocktail Bar Bolero, set in the gardens, mixes long drinks and mocktails in a relaxed, leafy setting, while two separate pool bars keep you topped up with drinks throughout the day.
A smart casual dress code (no beachwear) may apply in restaurants and bars. Opening dates, times and inclusions can vary by season; always check locally for the latest details.
Pool Areas and Beach
The heart of the resort is its generous pool area. There are two main outdoor freshwater pools: a spacious main pool with surrounding sun terrace, and a second pool with water guns and sprinklers that younger children gravitate towards. Sunbeds and parasols are dotted around, and pool towels are available against a refundable deposit.
From the pool it’s only around 150m to the shore, where a white pebble beach shelves into crystal-clear water – classic Dalmatian coastline. It’s a popular spot for water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking (offered locally), and the seafront walkway invites easy strolls towards Bol town or Zlatni Rat.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Active guests are well catered for. There’s an air-conditioned gym with cardio and free weights (typically open 07:00–19:00 in season), plus organised aqua aerobics, basketball, volleyball, snooker, table tennis and tennis. Yoga sessions add a more mindful way to start or end the day.
Evening entertainment is frequent in high summer, with in-house shows and mini-discos, then scales back to a more occasional programme later in the season. Daytime, you can expect family games, arts and crafts and water-based activities when the hotel is busier.
For extra pampering, guests can visit the off-site spa at the nearby sister hotel, featuring sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and treatments (typically for ages 16+; charges apply and opening dates may vary).
