The resort’s huge, palm-fringed swimming pool is set next to the beach and is complete with a Jacuzzi and a water sports centre offering a wide choice of activities, including snorkelling, jet skiing and sailing.
The Kids’ Club has Camp Safari for younger guests, and E-Zone, a teenagers’ hangout away from the family.
