A classy, modern resort hotel, with its own spa, bistro and bar, at the southern end of the long, curving Bay of Garitsa. All the cool, contemporary cream-toned rooms have balconies, and many face directly out to sea. It's a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and a few hundred metres north of Mon Repos.
