Upgrade to a Superior Room for more space, including a generous private terrace with lovely sea views. If you’re travelling with kids then the Superior Family Rooms are the smart choice, accommodating up to two adults and three children. RESTAURANTS & BARS: The Main Restaurant is a bountiful buffet-style affair, with cuisine from around the world, an adults-only section and a dedicated Baby Chef. There is also a Wellness Buffet, though you may find yourself drawn towards the ice cream corner instead! For a romantic dinner make sure you reserve a table at Pasha on the Bay, an à la carte Mediterranean restaurant that is exclusively for the over-12s in the evening. A late riser’s breakfast is also served here from 10.30am to midday. The Beach Bar & Restaurant is a more casual dinner option, specialising in Italian cuisine. There are several bars on the various beaches, plus a pool bar where you can enjoy a wide variety of drinks and cocktails until late hours.
FACILITIES: There are three wonderful beaches: the family-friendly main beach is the liveliest, and the two adults-only beaches are more chilled.

The Sanda Day Spa is located at the heart of the resort, and includes a Turkish bath, sauna, whirlpool, snow fountain and seven massage rooms.
