Scene
Modern beach resort that caters to both couples and families, with separate adult-only area
Located above a beautiful wide beach, this vibrant holiday village has a mix of adult-only and family rooms in a series of attractive white stone buildings. There are plenty of facilities to keep both groups happy, including several pools and restaurants. At first glance, the property is bright and welcoming with a modern central atrium that has a greenhouse vibe. Leafy foliage and crisp white armchairs fill the open plan lobby, with a bar on one side and plenty of quiet seating nooks. During our 2017 visit we spotted a mix of German, English, French, and Italian families and couples of all ages. Given its modern interiors and well-kept communal areas, this is a great choice for an upscale beach holiday near Morro Jable.
