The adjacent children-only swimming pool provides a safe environment for kids to splash about and enjoy themselves.
The two smaller adult pools both have an adjoining children’s area, so both big and small can revel in both invigorating dives and relaxing wading. The Pool Bar is available for all guests and offers tasty snacks as well as an assortment of refreshing drinks and soft drinks.
