The beach here is attractive, but as is common with this coast line, the sea is probably best appreciated by the more confident swimmer and you do need to strictly adhere to local warnings and advice
The Fortress Resort and Spa is a good all round deluxe hotel, with appeal to couples and families with attractive spacious accommodation.
In the last few years the hotel has undergone some subtle and rather expensive enhancement without detracting from the essential style.

CHIC Locations Terms and Booking Conditions PDF
All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (Entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers. Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May - June level and about 50% more in Asia. For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per-person, per-night hotel guide, excluding air fare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.
