Brilliant! Beautiful setting, great spot to reset and recharge. Lazy river is not just for the kids! Highly recommend and looking forward to returning.
We took a four year old and almost 2 year old and they both enjoyed it. The were done at about the hour mark. You are able to chill on the grass for a bit next to the pool to which is nice. The showers had eco body body wash which was great but to small for a family to get changed in so after a quick shower with togs on we went into the bigger change room (no shower) only a meter away but both girls slipped over, merly just something to be mindful of with young ones. Loved it and will be back.
The pools just small, all with screaming kids. Three lifeguards to watch them. No relaxing area or sunbeds, no where to lay down in the shade.
It is great recommendation for 2 hr, and the environment is tidy, modern and clean.
