lounger

Sharing a cold cucumber salad from the hotel’s in-house restaurant, they gazed across the spacious pool area with its wide platform loungers and stucco walls that perfectly matched the color of the dusty landscape beyond.

"The loungers were absolutely new, everything spotless. The entrance to the sea was very gentle, so yes, it really was a very good beach."

He and his wife "dived for cover", hiding behind their sun loungers.

"I thought I had just slept funny on a sun lounger, I was hoping to go paragliding but because of my backache I couldn't go," he says.

Get yourself comfortable in a garden chair or sun lounger, in as dark an area as possible, and allow your eyes a good 15 to 20 minutes to adjust.
