Gentle sea entry with about 30m walk to waist depth, modest underwater life, diverse food including grilled meats, fresh fruit, and local pastries. Street grill in the evenings.
What the community said
At Drims resort (and similar ones like Jolie Ville, Novotel, Promenade), guests in rooms far from the beach may have to walk across a road under the hot sun to reach the sea, which can be tiring. These hotels have both first-line and second-line rooms — it's worth checking room location and prioritizing what matters most (sea access, food, entertainment, bars, price).

The underwater world is modest. The sea entry is gradual — about 30 meters of walking before it reaches waist depth. To the right, opposite villas 15–17, there is a clean deep lagoon. There is no town behind the hotel, just 5 average souvenir shops.

In the evenings there is a street grill, and in the mornings waffles and pancakes are available. Street food is right outside the hotel.
