Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The heart of the resort is its generous pool area. There are two main outdoor freshwater pools: a spacious main pool with surrounding sun terrace, and a second pool with water guns and sprinklers that younger children gravitate towards. Sunbeds and parasols are dotted around, and pool towels are available against a refundable deposit.
From the pool it’s only around 150m to the shore, where a white pebble beach shelves into crystal-clear water – classic Dalmatian coastline. It’s a popular spot for water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking (offered locally), and the seafront walkway invites easy strolls towards Bol town or Zlatni Rat.
Spa, sports & wellness
Active guests are well catered for. There’s an air-conditioned gym with cardio and free weights (typically open 07:00–19:00 in season), plus organised aqua aerobics, basketball, volleyball, snooker, table tennis and tennis. Yoga sessions add a more mindful way to start or end the day.
Evening entertainment is frequent in high summer, with in-house shows and mini-discos, then scales back to a more occasional programme later in the season. Daytime, you can expect family games, arts and crafts and water-based activities when the hotel is busier.
For extra pampering, guests can visit the off-site spa at the nearby sister hotel, featuring sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and treatments (typically for ages 16+; charges apply and opening dates may vary).
