Food & Drink

• Buffet Restaurant Olivina - the massive restaurant has all kind of seating options for whatever vibe you're going for. Including a sofa area for a casual meal, and a quiet area for couples to enjoy a lil romantic dinner.

• Nimbra Buffet Restaurant - another buffet restaurant, but this one has a bakery area (yeah, none of that store-bought stuff, proper homemade goodies), and a themed area which changes often

• Restaurante La Dolce Vita - this place gives classic Italian Trattoria energy, with all the staple dishes, of course, we're talking about pizza and pasta. The pizzas are made in an authentic wood-fired oven for that proper taste.

• Restaurante KOI - Asian-fusion restaurant that has a menu of tasty dishes to make those tastebuds do a little dance

• Champs Bar Sport - where all the sporty action happens, whether you're being dragged there by the other half, or wanting to catch the latest footie match, there's a menu of pub-grub and international beers

• Breeze Pool Bar - this is one of three pool bars, so you get the usual drinks and snacks, but this one stands out for having sweeping sea views. An ideal spot for sunset drinks, and a cheeky Instagram pic.

• B-Lounge Lobby Bar - B for beautiful sea views, Brilliant cocktails and the entertainment hub in the evenings. We know that doesn't begin with B, but we need to talk about it, okay?

• Breathe Pool Bar - right next to the Olympic-size swimming pool, if you don't know how big that is, it's pretty bloomin' huge. When you aren't practising to be the next Michael Phelps, you can chillax on a lounger and much on fresh sushi platters. Think we prefer the last option.

• Pool Bar Marella - offering an endless list of drinks, and a healthy selection of snacks, even snacks for the kiddos

• Lobby Bar La Geria - where you can relax after a long day of sunbathing and swimming, this is the ideal spot for a coffee, or a pre-dinner aperitif

All Inclusive

• Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the buffet restaurant as well as a selection of drinks

• 24-hour snacks and drinks

• An unlimited selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks

• Discount on products not included in the package

Just a heads up that the a'la carte restaurants are an additional charge.

Sports & Entertainment

• Swimming Pools - take a dip in one of the on-site swimming pools - yes, one of. You'll have a choice, from an Olympic 10-lane pool to kids pools for the little ones and an exclusive Royal Level pool.

• Splash Park - for the kiddos, kitted out with water guns, water cannons and sprinklers

• Kids' Club - whilst you chill by the pool, ship the kids off to the club where they'll be doing arts and crafts, sports, and water-based games. Most importantly you can chill by the pool with a cocktail.

• Sports Activities - the hotel is called Active Resort for a reason, offering a gym, a professional cycling centre and Les Mills-recommend workouts

• Wellness Center - with an endless list of beauty and wellness treatments, as well as a sauna to finish off the pamper sesh

• Entertainment - packed with team games, pool activities, live music and discos

Just a heads up that the Olympic pool is an additional charge and requires a reservation.
