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