Editor's note
The hotel boasts five pools, including a stunning infinity pool with ocean views, and multiple garden pools surrounded by lush palm trees. The tranquil atmosphere is enhanced by the sound of birdsong. There are plenty of sunbeds available, even if the infinity pool area can get busy. The overall impression is one of a relaxing pool environment nestled within beautiful grounds.

What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The pool areas had lots of sun beds so no need to get up early although the infinity pool area did get busy quite early.
The hotel , pools and grounds are immaculate. It was so relaxing around the pool , no day time music so it was perfect for a snooze .
The location is perfect, view from the infinity pool is stunning. You can lie by the pool and look out across the ocean.
