It’s a charming and stylish hotel that’s perfect for you if you like to remain active while on holiday. Use the equipment in the gym to generate power for the hotel, while staying fit and healthy!

A must see is their fantastic eco pool. Don’t be surprised to find that it’s green! Instead of containing chemicals, the pool recreates the natural system of the wetlands to remain clean. This means it’s safe for you to enjoy and good for the environment, too.
