The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Options

During my recent stay, I was thoroughly impressed by the diverse range of dining options available at the resort. One of my favorites was Mario’s, where I enjoyed a superb dinner of Italian cuisine. The buffet breakfast at Bayside also stood out, offering fresh fruits and tasty dishes right by the beach. Each meal was a good experience, and I loved the variety that kept every dining experience exciting!

Spacious and Comfortable Room

I stayed in a Mediterranean Walkout Club Level Suite, and I was blown away by the spaciousness of the room. The comfortable king-size four-poster bed made for a great night's sleep, and the large bathroom with his and hers sinks was a good touch. The stocked mini-fridge and the stunning view over the immaculate gardens added to the overall luxury experience.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I took advantage of the spa services during my stay, and it was nothing short of amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed a deep tissue massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. The atmosphere was tranquil and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. It’s definitely an experience I’d recommend to other guests looking for some pampering!

Fun Evening Entertainment

The entertainment options on-site were fantastic! I attended a vibrant beach BBQ night, which featured a live steel band that made for a lively atmosphere. The activities team organized engaging quizzes and games during the day, ensuring there was never a dull moment. It was a great way to socialize and enjoy the resort's dynamic vibe with fellow guests!
