Beach & Pool
Seaweed risk: moderate
Sargassum can be an issue, particularly seasonally. Staff actively work to clean the beach, but it can still accumulate and impact usability for a few days.
The resort boasts a 400-meter private white-sand beachfront with a fine, powdery texture and stunning turquoise water. Reviews are mixed, with some describing it as small, clean, and beautiful, while others note it can be rocky and prone to seaweed.
