It's quite nice, but it's got way's to go to European standards. The most disappointing was the changing room/rest room in the pool area. Dirty floors, no soap or paper towels.

We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon at the pool area during a weekday with only a few other guests. The water was clean and clear with warm temperature. The design of the whole pool area is nice and inviting. You have to pay $5 for the entrance as visitor.

It was nice for our young niece. The pool is open to the public so it can get crowded. Rooms are nice and the bathroom is meh. Its not gross but not as nice as the rest of the place (i wore shower shoes).
