The pool is great, front desk staff are friendly and overall it’s a very nice place. The men’s changing room is a bit small and awkward. My main problem is that one of the lifeguards needs to learn how to speak to people and sort his manners out. Put a huge downer on our visit by being dismissive and rude.
