Relax and rejuvenate as you enjoy the soothing healing benefits of the Pavilion Pools reserved for Adults and young adults 12+ only.
Great place. Specific areas for adults, family + kids etc. Provate rooms facing the lake. Many choices of pools in the adult area. Temperatures tend to be high but you can find something less hot. Beautiful views.
Worth every penny, fantastic experience, would go every day here if I could, clean, well looked after, very quiet on a Monday morning and great ice cream in the cafe after, don't hesitate, book it!
Thanks, that's a great review. We appreciate it.

Winter Treat - We All Need To Slow Down!
Our group of 5 out-of-town residents arrived 10.30 am on a Saturday in late May 2023. The reception guy was welcoming with fuss-free entry, showing our voucher email via phone. Communal changing space was clean, with a few private cubicles. There were about 4 communal showers plus a private one for disabled folk. Plentiful plastic containers for clothing were housed on open shelves near the main undercover pool & we used one locker between us for valuables. We spent 3 glorious hours moving through the series of outdoor pools which range by temperature and acidity/alkalinity. We loved soaking up their healing powers whilst having a great catchup, fabulous for the soul, especially lounging in the ones that face out across the lake. Dry weather was a bonus but there's always the indoor pool if it's wet or miserable. Our visit was mostly very quiet, getting busier towards lunchtime. We opted not to shower afterwards to maximise the minerals. On the way out/in, there's a gorgeous shopping space, café & yummy gelato counter. Overall, this was a fantastic experience which we hadn't had for many years. It's on the Do-It-Again list for the next Rotovegas visit. Tips: Parking - No time limit in the venue's dedicated section, but it fills up later in the day. Mostly 180-minute parking outside of that, which should be enough. Paid locker - One-time use so you'll need to pay again if you go back. Bring - Water bottle, refilling at the water fountains dotted around. Spare towel to take around with you. Jandals for a more pleasant experience when walking around (cold, wet matting doesn't work for me). Hair/face mask to pop on while you're soaking, being careful not to contaminate the waters. Cold shower - There's one tucked beside a pool. Spurts in odd directions so you'll get wet hair.
