Beach Restaurant – buffet-style lunches and dinners practically on the sand, perfect when you don’t want to stray from your sunbed.
Snacks, ice creams and drinks are never far away thanks to a generous bar line-up: Levante beach bar, gelateria, two pool bars, terrace coffee bar, pizza-pasta station and River Bar and snack outlets along the seafront. Opening hours and inclusions vary by season and board, and some items may carry a supplement.

With four outdoor pools and a dedicated splash and aqua park, water babies are well catered for.
• 4 freshwater outdoor pools, three with separate children’s sections, surrounded by sunbeds and parasols.
• A main activity pool with slides and shallow area for little ones.
• Quieter pools that are better suited to relaxed swims and sunbathing (seasonal opening, usually late March–early November, weather and occupancy dependent).
• A seafront aqua park with waterslides and aqua loop slides, generally operating 10:00–19:00 during the main season.
• Splash park with sprinklers, water dome features, spouts and waterfall play areas, ideal for younger children.

The hotel backs directly onto a long stretch of sand and shingle beach where you can stroll, paddle or join water sports such as pedalos and inflatables (often run by an external provider, local charges apply). Age, height or weight restrictions can apply around the slides and aqua park.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
For active guests, there’s an air-conditioned gym featuring cardio equipment, free weights and a stretching area (typically 10:00–12:00, six days per week; minimum age around 18 years). Organised activities often include aqua aerobics, basketball, darts, football, pétanque, table tennis, tennis (court hire and floodlights may be chargeable) and beach volleyball.
Off the sports field, the resort has a small spa corner offering beauty treatments and massages for guests aged 16+ (extra cost), plus an on-site mini-market for holiday essentials, beach toys and snacks.
