Two pools and a terrace
The hotel runs two outdoor swimming pools, with a terrace and outdoor furniture alongside. It is a practical setup for guests who want pool time without competing with children — the adults-only policy applies throughout the property.
Spa and fitness centre
The spa and wellness centre is the centrepiece of the hotel's identity. A fitness centre is also on site. Both are included within the property rather than housed off-site, so there is no travel involved.
Rooms with balconies and soundproofing
Comfort and Deluxe rooms both have balconies and soundproofing built in. The Comfort category looks out over the city; the Deluxe category has a terrace alongside its balcony. All rooms have air conditioning and a flat-screen TV.
Restaurant, bar and cooking classes
The on-site restaurant handles breakfast — available in-room on request — and the bar runs alongside it. Cooking classes are bookable at an additional charge, as are walking tours arranged through the hotel.
