Additional amenities include complimentary hot breakfast buffet daily; outdoor pool; fitness center and full-service spa with full range of therapies and treatments, Turkish bath, massage rooms, solarium, steamroom and sauna; two full-service restaurants with local and international cuisine; a Manhattan-style champagne piano lounge with entertainment; cigar room; daytime pool terrace bar and grill, and 24-hour room service.  A private boardroom and rooftop meeting rooms are available for social and corporate events, as is a business center with the latest technology and video conferencing.  Guests can enjoy sailing, sea fishing, scuba classes nearby, windsurfing, para-sailing and mountain climbing, as well as the use of the private and exclusive D-Marine Marina beach club nearby.
