Extras & Going Home · 19 / 23

Finish your morning round and the afternoon is entirely yours. This is a no-shopping, no-option package — no forced sales stops. At this seafront resort, recharge for the next round with the pool, the beach and plenty of rest.

Free Time at the Resort

  • Three outdoor pools — a main pool, an adults-only pool and a shallow children's pool (bring swimwear and aqua shoes)
  • 6 km of white-sand beach — a designated safe-swimming zone + water sports + a beach bar (happy hour). A sunset stroll is recommended
  • Cycling, horse riding and other outdoor activities (ask at reception) · a kids' club and kids' pool
  • Naps and recovery — for back-to-back rounds, recovering is the best option of all

'Resting is part of the plan'

The most common mistake on a multi-round trip is cramming too much into the afternoon. Rest well on the first and second days, and if you're feeling good, save the extra activities for the last day — it raises your overall satisfaction with the trip.

Safety & getting around

Because the resort sits on the inner part of the peninsula, we recommend a round-trip by Grab for any night outing. At the pool or beach, leave valuables in your in-room safe, and don't swim after drinking (Chapter 22).

Resort facility and spa hours vary with local conditions. Check the usage details at check-in.
