We went in the morning so it wasn’t busy at all. Nice temperatures to choose, however I would prefer to have a plays to rest outside of the pool. There are just a few benches, that were full of personal belongings
Good experience, will visit again next time!
the pools are lovely, but the facilities are dirty and old. you should listen to the comments of foreign tourists... Changing rooms should be updated and cleaned often. More shower required (also if you suggest to keep minerals on you, for some people that is very gross...) Bathrooms very dirty, old and gross. more needed! I saw many accidents due to the underwater steps in the pools: they are not visible, a lot of people slipped and scratched themselves. A Chinese lady fell face down entering the pool and was very embarassed...) make them more visible or instruct people on entry. For the price it is a disappointing experience. your only advantage over other hot pools is that you don't have kids.
I loved it , so relaxing , the perfect end to a day
