Virgin Holidays View
Nestled in a vast coconut grove, the Mermaid Hotel & Club offers the perfect haven for sun, sea and sand lovers. Overlooking a beautiful stretch of beach, you’ll think you’ve landed in paradise with so much to see and do on your doorstep. The hotel is reserved for rest and relaxation whilst down at the club, there’s plenty of action! A wide range of sports and recreational activities include squash, badminton and, of course, an impressive range of watery pursuits. There’s also not 1 but 2 swimming pools to splash about in, a fitness centre for the body conscious and a spa with sauna, steam rooms and Jacuzzi. The main restaurant partially overlooks the ocean and has an al-fresco section for making the most of sunny days and warm evenings. Enjoy a romantic candle-lit dinner for 2 or tuck into the hearty buffet, with a sublime selection of sea food available daily. 4 bars will also tempt you, especially the beach bar situated amidst coconut palm gardens and the restaurant bar with its snooker table. Evenings can be spent quietly, strolling in the moonlight after dinner perhaps. Alternatively, there’s disco music, live music, cultural and magic shows to keep you entertained!
