Guests order snacks and drinks at the on-site bar, served by staff like Marco who also offers local recommendations. The pool area is used throughout the day, with no loud music and the same number of sunbeds as rooms, so space is available without reservation.

Some rooms include a hot tub, spa bath, and sea views, with Deluxe Double Rooms and Junior Suites available. The beds receive consistent praise from guests for comfort, with two pillows of different types per person in the deluxe rooms.
Breakfast & On-Site Dining
Breakfast is served between 08:00 and 11:00, with guests selecting their choices and preferred time the night before from a list of options.

A snack bar offers food such as burgers and chicken club sandwiches until 18:00, prepared by the staff.
