The restaurant serves local and Mediterranean favourites but will cater to individual tastes and intolerances.
The Iberostar Chich Khan is slightly smaller than its counterpart but just as family-friendly. Both of the resorts sit on a private stretch of beach and have a large series of pools. The children-friendly entertainment is not as highly rated at the Chich Khan but it will not disappoint. The décor of each hotel varies slightly.
