★★★★★8 years agoIt is an amazing place ..we just keep walking to be inside of this park .. it has two parts one is puplic for every body to swim and play and the other one to stay alone to relax or to read some books with a view and there is a place for the kids to play
Anthony Josephson
★★★★★2 months agoWhat a place! Parking is rather expensive at €7 but when booked in advance at only €1 per adult it becomes a bargain! We were there on a rather hot day and the water was perfect, the lifeguards were attentive and pleasant and we could have stayed there all day if time allowed. The restaurant was tricky to navigate as we're rubbish English tourists so only speak English and there was no English menu. Thanks to Google translate we ordered some food, and drinks and it was excellent.
