The hotel

This authentic basic resort sits on the edge of a half-mile stretch of sandy beach. Offering clean, simple accommodation at a good price, it’s great for families with rooms spacious enough for everyone. If you’re part of a large family or group, some rooms are also conveniently interconnected. Families will appreciate the spacious beach and water sport activities, whilst taking a swim over to the private island, which will keep the little ones occupied. Adults have a dedicated pool (when booking a Privilege room type), spa and fitness centre if you can pull yourself away from the sun bed!
