Private beach and pool
The hotel has a private beach area alongside an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. Swim-up suites open directly onto the pool, so guests can step into the water from their own terrace.
Room types and layouts
Eight room categories range from a 38 m² Junior Suite with balcony up to the Royal Retreat 1 Bedroom Studio at 35 m², which includes a separate living area. Private pool suites at two tiers give guests their own plunge pool.
Spa and fitness
The spa and wellness center is on-site, alongside a dedicated fitness center. Both are included within the property, making them accessible without leaving the grounds.
Four restaurants on-site
Four restaurants are included under the All & More Inclusive plan. Evening entertainment and karaoke run on property, so there is activity after dinner without needing to go elsewhere.
