The hotel also boasts a fantastic and very delicious seafood restaurant - The Fisherman’s HUT Tavern, perfect for those craving the freshest catches.
A highlight of our visit was the opportunity to dine at the Roof Burger restaurant, located at a sister hotel, offering not only delicious food but also an unparalleled panoramic view of Cyprus as the sun dipped below the horizon – a truly magical experience.
An evening spent at the Roof Burger restaurant was particularly memorable.

A small but incredibly useful feature that exemplifies their attention to guest comfort is the button at every sunbed, allowing you to effortlessly order food and drinks from the restaurant without leaving your comfortable spot by the pool or beach. The hotel also offers various other activities, ensuring there's always something to engage every guest.
The hotel has thoughtfully created a specially designed feeding area and shelter for the local stray cats, acknowledging the large population of stray cats in Cyprus. This designated space, located away from guest areas, ensures the animals are cared for responsibly without affecting the comfort of hotel guests.
