Set in lush gardens a short walk from Laganas beach, this resort built its reputation on a genuinely excellent pool complex with multiple slides and a dedicated splash zone for younger children. The grounds are green and shaded rather than concrete, which makes a real difference on hot afternoons with a stroller.
Our verdict
If the pool is where your holiday actually happens, this is one of the strongest choices on the island, gardens and slides included.
The rooms
Family rooms and bungalow-style units set in subtropical gardens, several with connecting doors and most sleeping up to 4; the garden-facing rooms feel private for nap times.

Less built for teens specifically, but the pool complex and short walk into Laganas give options.

Parents also ask
Is the pool suitable for very young children?
Yes, there is a dedicated shallow splash zone separate from the main slide pools, well suited to toddlers.
How far is the beach?
Laganas beach is about a 10 to 15 minute walk through the resort gardens and a nearby street.
Is there shade around the pools?
The subtropical gardens provide more natural shade than most resorts on the island, though sunbeds nearer the slides are more exposed.
