Our Opinion
Centrally located between windsurf and kitesurf centres, enjoy the heated pool year round and choice of a la carte restaurants. We recommend the 'Ultra All inclusive' package with free weekly minute massage and sauna package and scuba diving introduction. We recommend the Superior Seafront rooms with wonderful panoramic views of the bay and sea.
