Fantastic Swimming Pools

One of my favorite features of Howard Johnson was the spacious outdoor swimming pool that had multiple lifeguards, ensuring safety while we enjoyed our time in the water. I also loved the availability of lap lanes for swimming enthusiasts, which made it easy to stay active even on vacation.

Comfortable Sea View Room

We stayed in a sea & garden facing room on the fifth floor of the East wing. The room was exceptionally well maintained, and the views were simply amazing. Every morning, waking up to the beauty of the sea and garden just added to the overall bliss of our stay.
