Rating8.1Adults Only501 rooms across seven categories, all described as junior suites or suites — the smallest (409 sq ft, 38 sq m) is still larger than a standard room at most European beach resorts. Every room has a private balcony or terrace. Sea view categories are meaningfully better than garden view due to the coastal setting — the upgrade is worth it if available at booking.

Garden or General View
409 sq ft with a garden or general view and a private balcony or terrace. King or two doubles with a sofa bed in the bedroom. The entry-level room — perfectly comfortable for the price, but the view looks toward the resort rather than the water. Good for families who will spend most time at the pools.
Lateral or Partial Sea View
409 sq ft with a partial or side-angle sea view. The same room as the standard Junior Suite but with a more interesting outlook from the balcony. A reasonable mid-level upgrade.
Sea View
409 sq ft with a direct sea view from the balcony. King or two doubles, sofa bed. For this destination, the sea view is the defining visual of the holiday — worth paying for over the garden option.
Sea View
430 sq ft — slightly larger than the standard junior suite, with sea views, two double beds, and a sofa bed in the lounge area. The extra 20 sq ft and lounge position make this the better option for families of four.
Sea View
592 sq ft with a separate bedroom, king bed, seating area with sofa, and a bathroom with a bath — the bath is the feature that distinguishes this room. Private terrace with sea views. Maximum two guests. The most comfortable room for couples on longer stays.
General View
829 sq ft with two separate bedrooms — one king, one with two doubles — plus a sofa bed in the lounge. General view. Sleeps up to six. The two-bedroom layout provides genuine separation for families with children. Best value calculation for groups of four to six.
Sea View
947 sq ft — the largest room on property. King bed, a separate living room, private terrace with an outdoor jacuzzi, and sea views. Maximum two guests. The jacuzzi terrace with ocean views is the premium experience at this resort.
