Pool Information
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you use the pool area:
- A lifeguard/pool attendant will be on duty. Please follow his/her safety rules at all times.
- Check the safety rules and the depth of the pools before using them for the first time.
- Opening times for the pool(s) are shown by the pool area.
- The areas around the pools can be slippery.
- Use of sunbeds is free for Ocean Beach Club guests.
- Reserving sunbeds with clothing/towels/etc. is not allowed. Hotel staff will proceed every morning with removing all items on the sunbeds.

- Do not use oversized toys, pool rafts and floats in the pools. When in doubt, please ask the lifeguard/pool attendant.
- Cups, bottles and any glasses are not permitted in the pool / sunbed area for security reasons.
- Pool & beach towels are only washed upon request to minimize water usage and negative impact to the environment.

Beach Information
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are visiting the beach:
Remember that the size and powers of the waves can vary throughout the day, so always check the warning flags on display before going in the water.
- Respect the warning flags – a Red Flag means it’s too dangerous to go in the water.
- Don't leave children unattended.
- An adult should go into the water first to test the type of seabed, depth of the water, etc before allowing children to go in.
- Make sure that any inflatable swimming aids are in good condition and work properly.
- Test snorkels and masks in shallow water to check that they work.
- Take particular care on beaches away from the major tourist areas, where assistance is limited in case of an emergency.
- Always check the seabed before diving in and watch out for strong currents.
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Top up your sun protection throughout the day. Salt water reduces the effect of sun block.
- Watch out for boats, windsurfers, water-skiers and others who may be near the shore.
Doctor
A doctor can come to the Hotel upon request. Book at Reception. Remember to bring your insurance certificate and passport with you. For medical help at all other times, please contact our Reception.
