Restaurants and Bars

There are six restaurants to choose from – one's a buffet, the others are à la carte. Try the Cretan taverna which shines a spotlight on local island recipes, like baked fish and other Mediterranean dishes. Pan-Asian, seafood and Italian cuisine all get their own places, too. The pool bar serves crêpes and ice-creams during the day.

Pools

There are a couple of pools – the main one’s a big oblong, with heated fresh water, that’s perfect for a few laps. There's a kids' pool too, complete with water slides, that's also heated fresh water. Not only that, but a small private beach is just a few steps away too. Both pool and sand have free-to-use sunloungers and parasols.

Entertainment

When it comes to drinks in the evening, there are six bars to choose from, including a swanky adults-only Champagne, Wine & Sushi bar that looks out over the ocean. There’s also an evening entertainment programme packed with large scale shows and live music. Children get a mini-disco and games.

Sports & Leisure

If sunbathing 24/7’s too laidback, get involved in some of the hotel-run activities. Many of them are free of charge. The list includes canoe hire, table tennis and beach volleyball. You'll also have 2 gyms, if those weren't enough.
