Expect Nespresso machines, in-room ice makers (installed by 2023), fridges, safes, robes and slippers, flat-screen TVs, charging points, irons and hairdryers, plus luxurious European bedding. The property rests amid lush tropical gardens, with a small secluded beach and a freshwater circular pool set beneath swaying palms. A full-service spa offers a range of treatments by experienced therapists. Note: reception has limited opening hours—advise flight number and arrival time when booking.

Secluded beach with loungers, umbrellas and bar/snack service, freshwater pool with a help-yourself honor bar, full spa, on-site restaurants and bar, and parking. Five Star all-inclusive package available for a fixed-price, worry-free stay—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and skip the small print.
