We stayed 3 hours until lights came on. Was so great to be able to drift seamlessly in & out of different temperatures as we needed to cool off. Staff wonderful & we took a few bottles of water home to remember.

Lovely pools, quiet surroundings, very clean, amazing water, the slightly higher price keeps the riff raff and young kids out, which suits me! The top, hottest pool is way to hot, to the point of being unbearable, I would suggest they maybe adjust the flow or introduce some recirculated cooler water from the lower pool. The café was also closed…

This place is so pretty. There are three pools, the largest is the coolest, and then there are two progressively hotter pools. The top pool was too hot for me to get in. The only reason I didnt give it a 10 is that it is quite pricey, but it is the nicest surroundings of any of the stylish commercially…
