• Beachfront – direct access across the quiet coastal road
• Approx. 2km to Kardamena resort centre (shops, bars, tavernas)

All meals are served in the main buffet restaurant, where you can graze on Mediterranean and international favourites with show-cooking stations and a dedicated kids’ buffet in season. Highchairs are available and the atmosphere is relaxed but smart – the hotel asks that beachwear isn’t worn at dinner.

Three bars keep drinks flowing throughout the day: the lobby bar for pre-dinner cocktails, a pool bar for daytime refreshments, and the beachfront taverna/snack bar for light bites and cold drinks with sea views. Seasonal opening dates and times vary, and some venues may require reservations or carry a supplement depending on your board arrangement.

All Inclusive typically covers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks between meals and a selection of local wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks until around midnight. Exact inclusions can change, so always check the latest details in resort. What All Inclusive typically includes.
