Pool & Beach
Pool information:
We hope you’ll have a great time enjoying the pool and beach areas.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Opening times for the pool(s) are shown by the pool area.
- A lifeguard/pool attendant will be on duty. Please follow his/her safety rules at all times.
- Check the safety rules and the depth of the pools before using them for the first time.
- Do not reserve sunbeds with clothing/towels/etc. Hotel staff will proceed every morning with removing all items on the sunbeds.
- Cups, bottles and any glasses are not permitted in the pool / sunbed area for security reasons.
- Please be careful when walking in the areas around the pools as they can be slippery.
- Pool & beach towels are only washed upon request to minimize water usage and negative impact to the environment.
- Please place the used towel in the basket in your bathroom and we will change them.
- You can also bring your used towel to our Spa to exchange for fresh ones directly.
It is not allowed to smoke around the pool area. We have specific smoking areas.
Beach information:
We want you to have a great time and stay safe while you’re at the beach. Remember that the size and powers of the waves can vary throughout the day, so always check the warning flags on display before going in the water. Keep these tips in mind:
- Respect the warning flags – a Red Flag means it’s too dangerous to go in the water.
- Make sure that any inflatable swimming aids are in good condition and work properly.
- Test snorkels and masks in shallow water to check that they work.
- Take particular care on beaches away from the major tourist areas, where assistance is limited in case of an emergency.
- Always check the seabed before diving in and watch out for strong currents.
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Top up your sun protection throughout the day. Salt water reduces the effect of sun block.
- Watch out for boats, windsurfers, water-skiers and others who may be near the shore.
