Hotel

Coral Beech Resort,
Coral Bay Ave 70,
Pegeia 8575,
Cyprus
 

Hotel Website

The hotel has over 400 rooms, comprising of triples, doubles and singles. We will have a combination of these room types. Rooms have already been allocated and swimmers will find out when they arrive. The hotel has wi-fi throughout the property, multiple restaurants, the main pool and a gym.

The training pool itself is a 10 lane 50 meter pool, equiped with anti-wave lane ropes, flags and blocks. It is heated year round to a 26.5 degrees - so no need for wetsuits.

 

Food / Drink

We are staying at the hotel on a Half-Board basis, this means that breakfast and dinner will be provided each day, however lunch and drinks are NOT included. You may wish to provide your swimmer with a small amount of money (Euros) in order to purchase drinks and snacks or lunch. Obviously you are also welcome to pack additional snacks before leaving, but we draw your attention to the baggage weight limits. We have confirmed that water fountains are available at the pool and at other locations around the hotel.
