Editor's note

The outdoor areas are well-maintained, providing ample lounging space with a poolside restaurant for convenience. While not overtly unique in design, the combined offering ensures a pleasant and relaxing stay focused around the water.

What guests say about the pool
Great, luxurious facilities including gym, spa, pool (pretty chilly in February!) and lovely rooftop bar watching the sunset with evening cocktails.
The rooftop offers stunning sea views, especially around sunset. Calm, elegant, and relaxed, it’s the kind of place where time slows down naturally.
