We really enjoyed our time. It was nice and quiet during the week and the views are so good. Thanks for a great time.
Awesome pools. Very clean with excellent changing rooms with heated floors, private changing booths and complimentary lockers. We went mid week and it was quiet and a beautiful setting. The pools were immaculate
Great experience for every occasion, friendly staff and perfect experience
I was thoroughly impressed by the overall quality of the facilities. The entire venue exudes a sense of luxury, with thoughtfully designed spaces and a high standard of cleanliness throughout. The atmosphere is both relaxing and refined, making it an ideal place to unwind. One of the highlights of the visit was the surrounding scenery, which was absolutely stunning and added to the overall sense of tranquility. The beautiful views truly elevated the experience. That said, one minor drawback was the water pressure in the shower area, which felt somewhat weak and could be improved. Despite this, the overall experience was exceptionally pleasant and rejuvenating, and I would still highly recommend a visit.

Eine wirklich schöne Erfahrung
Wir hatten eine richtig gute Zeit in den Pools. Wir waren an einem warmen Nachmittag dort und uns war das warme Wasser fast schon zu warm, aber es gab auch einen Pool mit kaltem Wasser. Es gibt quasi zwei Seiten mit Pools, hier bucht man die Familienseite, hat also auch viele Kinder um sich herum. Auf der anderen Seite, für die man vor Ort auch noch einen Aufpreis zahlen kann, geht es ruhiger zu.
