Pools and the beach
Pools & waterplay
Official pages and tourism listings describe a beachside swimming pool; private pool suites add private plunge pools in select categories.
The beach itself
Resort is flanked by two beaches; one is calmer for swimming and one is surf-facing.
- Moderate water, swimmable most days
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
- Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
