Breakfast is included, so you can start your day right – sip your morning coffee as you look out at the panoramic sea views.

When you fancy a day at the beach, take the free shuttle over to the local beach where you'll find sunbeds, parasols, and a menu of tasty food and drinks. If you're feeling adventurous then you...
