There are 312 rooms in total, and comfort is the theme. Every room comes with a private balcony, plus satellite TV, a safe deposit box, air-conditioning and a well-finished bathroom. Many rooms face towards the sea, which is worth requesting if you like a balcony beer with a view after 18 holes. The rooms are modern and spacious, with enough storage for a week's worth of kit, and the balconies are properly sized, not token ledges.
On-site facilities suit mixed groups. You've got an outdoor pool that works well for families, an indoor pool if the evenings cool off and an adults-only Relax pool for guests aged 16 and over, which is ideal when you want a quieter spot to recharge. The beach is close enough to feel effortless, and it's a popular stretch for water sports if someone in your group fancies swapping a wedge for a wetsuit. Right, the walk down takes about five minutes, and there are steps rather than a steep path, so it's manageable even after a long round.
Families are well catered for too, with a kids' club running a proper programme of activities, so golfers can head off for a tee time without feeling like they're negotiating childcare on holiday. The all-inclusive format does what it says on the tin, covering food and drinks through the day, which is especially handy if your group likes to keep things simple and social. You're not worrying about who owes what at the bar, and you can grab snacks and soft drinks between rounds without thinking twice.
The restaurants and bars offer a varied gastronomic experience on an all-inclusive basis. The Acqua Buffet Restaurant serves meals throughout the day, including brunch for those who prefer to wake up later, which is a nice touch if you've had a late finish the night before. For an à la carte experience, the Luigi Italian Restaurant offers the best of Italian cuisine, and it's worth booking a table if you fancy something a bit more focused. Fuego Restaurant, Surf & Turf, offers a solid combination of meat and seafood, and the quality is good for an all-inclusive set-up. In summer, the McBlue Food Truck pops up by the pool for quick, no-fuss snacks and drinks between dips. The bar stays open throughout the day for cocktails and refreshments, and the terrace is a popular spot for a sundowner before dinner.
