This beachfront hotel is a sentimental favourite and nirvana for active types with water sports, tennis courts and an enormous state-of-the-art gym. The giant free-form pool is as lovely as the meandering palm-tree-lined gardens and calm beach, while rooms are dressed in cool white and have floor-to-ceiling windows with sea views.
It's home of Barasti, a hugely popular beach bar. A kids' club lets grown-ups relax while their offspring make new friends in a safe environment.
