The view dominates. You could almost dive from the restaurant balcony into the huge infinity pool which faces both the hills and the sea. r take a hotel buggy and jump in another pool right next to the beach a restaurant and a bar. There are seven pools in the resort to choose from. Guests hail from all over the globe. Couples families friends all seeking sun service and peace in a sublime location.
