They have a fitness centre which is opened daily from 8:00 to 21:00 and only to the resort’s guests.

I can't end this review without talking about the small hidden creek.
Not a lot of people know about it and you can access it from Top Resort's garden. There are A LOT of steps, and if it's hot, take a bottle of water with you, you will enjoy it when you will have to climb them back.
At the bottom of this long concrete stairway there is a small creek, no sand, just only pebbles, a quiet place where you only listen to the sound of the waves. It's a small and nice spot to snorkel, just remember to wear shoes, some rocks can be very sharp.

There is free parking on the side of the resort, the staff is very helpful and they can help you to book or organise any type of tour, as well as massage or get an appointment at the barber or beauty shop.
Most of the people who have stayed at Top Resort felt like being at home or and the staff is doing everything to make you feel comfortable.
