We love —
- Waking up directly on Playa Bávaro, where the Caribbean sets the tone before the day has properly begun.
- Moving between fifteen restaurants in a single stay, from seafront Mediterranean at Poseidón to Japanese at Sumptuori, without ever repeating a table.
- Losing an afternoon to the Zentropia Spa, then deciding between a fitness class, the pool or simply another hour on a sun lounger.
