The official site confirms an immaculate infinity pool, shared swim-up pools, private room pools, and an indoor spa pool. Expedia and Hotels.com also mention indoor and outdoor pools, with Expedia featuring an image of a rooftop pool. TripAdvisor describes the main pool as having a 'beach club' vibe with Aegean Sea views and mentions a minimum spend for floating sunbeds.
