Scene
Family-friendly hotel with plenty of outdoor activities
Plenty of spots for guests to enjoy the outdoors complement the property from the white canopied daybeds in the garden sun lounging area to the plastic lounge chairs lined up on the deck near the large pool complete with hot tub and waterfall.

The small outdoor bar has a huge area filled with floral cloth-covered tables and brown wicker chairs under covered seating.

Less than a five-minute shuttle ride from a private beach on Mediterranean Sea
