In abeyance round Mediterranean resort (2,3)

I believe the answer is:

on ice

'in abeyance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'round mediterranean resort' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'mediterranean resort' becomes 'nice' (I've seen this before).
'o'+'nice'='ON ICE'

(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "In abeyance" , "Chilling; suspended" , "Awaiting decision" , "temporarily put aside" , "Kept chilled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
