Sea and other water treatments
Club Serena Beach Hotel, like any club hotel, faces the coast. No wonder its name contains the word "beach", that is, the beach, so, of course, it stands on the first line. The beach is a mixture of pebbles and sand. What does it mean? The beach itself, where the sunbathing area is located, is sandy, and near the entrance to the sea there are pebbles. However, the presence of special slippers for swimming completely eliminates this problem. The beach is small, but private, and therefore umbrellas and sun loungers with mattresses are free for hotel customers, but, alas, there are no towels, you need to take them with you. For better air bathing, sun loungers are placed on the pier. There is enough space for everyone, and you do not need to borrow anything in advance. The beach is well cleaned, and despite the fact that our compatriots tend to scatter garbage, in the morning it looks just perfect. The sea is very beautiful, blue, but constantly worried. Therefore, for those who are afraid of storms, there are two outdoor pools (the third one is a “splash pool” for children), as well as a water slide - one, but triple. The water in the sea is very clear, and if you want to dive with a mask, then a few dozen meters from the shore you can find gorgeous fish.
