Our favourite rooms
We love the Lagoon Pool Suites, clustered around the serene green lagoon pool. Each one has a private terrace overlooking the water, decorated with comfy outdoor seating; expect to spend quite a lot of time here, holiday read in hand. The bathrooms continue the green theme, boasting conservatory windows that let in heaps of light and views of the garden.
Poolside
Even Tom Daley would blink with admiration at the hotel’s pool area, which sprawls over 1,600sq m and spans a heated lap pool, lagoon pool and lush green water gardens.
Spa
Allocate two or three hours to pure bliss at the Palm Spa, with one of the hotel's Wellness Dream Packages. We like the sound of the Daydreamer's Deluxe treatment, which commences with a herbal steam bath or tropical flower bath and also includes a tamarind body polish, a massage with essential oils and a rejuvenating facial.
Packing tips
