The main buffet restaurant keeps things relaxed and family-friendly, serving a mix of Mediterranean and international dishes at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

A lobby bar is open from mid-morning until late evening for coffees, soft drinks and evening tipples. Smart-casual dress is usually requested at dinner (no beachwear; gentlemen may be asked to wear long trousers), and opening days and times can vary with the season.

If you opt for All Inclusive or Full Board, your main meals are taken in the buffet restaurant, with snacks and a selection of local drinks included at set times under the All Inclusive programme (hours and inclusions can change seasonally).
