Columbia Beach Resort

The hotel’s 80-metre outdoor lagoon-style pool, set amid landscaped gardens and furnished sun terraces, is connected to the heated indoor pool and flows into a kids’ splash pool. After a lazy day on the beach, guests can relax with a drink in the bar or unwind in the spa centre with a steam and sauna or a revitalising massage treatment. Fitness fanatics can work up a sweat on the gym’s fitness equipment, practise their game in the two squash courts or floodlit tennis court, or join an aerobics class in the health centre. Those visiting on business can make use of wireless Internet access, a range of office-support services and conference facilities able to accommodate up to 280 people. Multilingual staff on the 24-hour front desk can exchange currency, arrange babysitting and dry-cleaning services and offer advice on the hotel and the surrounding area, and snacks, drinks and light meals are available around the clock via room service. Those arriving by car will find complimentary parking facilities on site, and the hotel offers transportation to and from the airport on request (surcharge).

This two-floor hotel features 94 air-conditioned suites, all of open onto balconies with views over the garden, and have light, modern decor in neutral tones. All include kitchenettes, satellite televisions, direct-dial phones, DVD players and wireless Internet connections.
