The resort has a total of 158 rooms spread across both sub-areas and features a spacious reception area with a reception desk and the lobby bar "True Lobby Bar" with seating inside and outside (located in the resort). On the first floor of the lobby is the rooftop bar "Sama Bar." The Village area of the resort (Adults-only) is surrounded by a generous water landscape and offers a total of 4 different main pools that run through the entire complex and also serve as swim-up room pools, as well as an infinity pool overlooking the crystal-clear bay (all pools are heated).
