    Shame on Arturā€™s water sports academy, today, July 19th, we came from Spain as we do every year. They told us the water park was closed, a few minutes later we saw a group of kids playing inside, then, we asked again if it was open, and again they told us that those kids trespassed the line and they will be kicked out immediately, 15 minutes later, there was another group playing inside. I went to the tent and request an explanation, then they told me that there was a private party and they were ā€œcheckingā€ the security of the park. I told her it was difficult to understand, either they weee in a private party or the were checking the securityā€¦ very sad they have all the kids awaiting for the opening and they blocked the park only for a few kids.

    Very expensive private resort where they feel they can make the rules up as they go. 60 euros for 3hrs water sports, some things are 1 euro a minute. A massive 40 euros for sun beds. When you put your towel on the sand and your umbrella up your told "your own umbrella is not allowed". Then after sitting on the sand for 4hrs after removing the umbrella, your told "your not allowed to sit on the sand on your own towel". Maybe it was because sun beds had come available by then. Greedy pure greedy. Don't mind the 60 euros kids had fun its all the other little rip off's attached. Won't be coming back.

    Very friendly and good Service :) sailing boats are also well kept! Nice small lake especially for beginners. We tried the first time a Katamaran and it was amazing! Thanks a lot!

    Great fun and easy to deal with. The seem to have loads of equipment (kayaks, paddle boards, little electric boats, pedalos etc.) and reasonably priced (considering where we are). Great opportunity to head around the lake and have a nose into the ridiculous villas!

    Good range of activities. Staff very friendly and helpful. A bit too expensive, like everything else in the area though. Concession only beach, so you aren't allowed to sunbathe without hiring a sunbed.

  • 5/5 Lucas C. 2 years ago on Google
    A little pricey, but excellent offers on the region on a very safe lake.

  • 5/5 Ian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Take out a SUP for ā‚¬20 and paddle around the lake for an hour, staff very relaxed and friendly, always a pleasure

  • 5/5 Rosie R. 10 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend this place. Small sandy beach with beds to rent, you can swim in the calm lake along with all the fish. Much preferred it to the beach. Inflatable fun for kids with pedalos, boats and jet skis. Staff friendly, shame it was so quiet expected it to be packed. Definitely worth visiting.

    I've known Artur Water sports, more than 20years, since i have been child. The lake, as well as the beach side. Today my children visited Artur Water sports and enjoyed the various possibilities. Always best service and multilangual staff. Of course there can be also some days, which run a little bit wrong or unexpected.....Whatever the one "Star" snobbish spanish family experienced, it might not have been their day! As long there are enough others, there is no need for you to come back. I wish Artur and his team a good season, after all that rubbish with corona last year and ongoing crises. Un grande abrazu Artur.... Claus!....Artur watersports always hands out receipt since "est". more than that, they even invented the receipt at Quinta do Lago in a time, where people build villas, not eben having a construction permission.
