    We were hoping for better... We arrived around 9.30am and we were told that swimming is authorised only at 10am. The space to swim is very narrow, too narrow according to us. The really bad point is the lack of cleanliness on the beach, there are leftovers from the day before a bit everywhere. Though we were able to spend some nice time before the beach was overcrowded.

    Modern,spacious and bright swimming pool opened in 1-10-2012. Staff is friendly(although it’s clear they are government officials) and helpful. After 7 years many parts look already decrepit and are not functioning. The baby pool for example has lost the ‘rainshower’ and the big water spray(more broken than working). The website indicated per hour how many lanes are free. All day’s, except Wednesday, 21 meter lanes are available before 3pm. 2/4th of the sides water can freely overflow. But thanks to wave breaking swimming lines overall few waves. Shampoo and shower gel are available for free. Annual leave from 21-12 to 3-01.

    I love this sports complex. This complex combines both serious sporting and family activity at the same place. There is a big well maintained swimming pool. I am big fan of their beach. The water in the lake in clean and they have active life guards.

    The place is big and the water is nice to swim in. If you have kids, this is a great place to visit. There were extensive playgrounds and very attentive lifeguards. It was odd that you can not just buy a ticket at the place but have to make an account, pay online and then show the scanned tickets with picture ID at the place. We did this at the place as we didn’t know. It would have been much simpler to just buy a ticket. We also didn’t understand the need for ID and my son who don’t have a driving license doesn’t have picture ID. That was very odd The place seemed clean except for large number of cigarette buds all over the grass.

    We bought tickets in advance. However, we were unable to enter this place due to the large queue. From the other side of the lake, we saw that the place was overcrowded. The question is why do they sell so many tickets to make it impossible to rest there.

    It is the best recreational activity club here. The swimming pool is nice for professionals as well as for learners. Volleyball courts are good too.

    Beautiful place. Need to reserve in advance on their site (3 EUR per adult). The site was half empty due to the restrictions so we even met ducklings where you would see normally see swimmers. We really enjoyed it :-)

    Mrs. cashier did not let us with two small children because two adults forgot their ID cards. We had to explain to the children why they couldn't come in and had to wait an hour until someone brings the documents. No understanding or empathy.

    The beach is always crowded and the restaurant in always loaded with orders and they sometimes tell you they are not taking anymore orders and then after five minutes they start the service again.

  • 1/5 Shannon K. 8 months ago on Google
    There's a huge, beautiful lake (well, it's really a dam) but sadly everyone is forced to swim in a tiny little fenced off area. There's no space at all. Very disappointing.

    Never experienced such an arrogant , lame and lazy cafeteria staff that has no sense whatsoever for customer service , "order your drink at the kassa" then they put your drink somewhere else to get it yourself instead of bringing to you. this happened several times an with several staffmembers, I guess it's difficult to hire decent personel with some sort of education.

    You can swim indoors and outdoors. There is an indoor and outdoor playground. Sandy beach. Beautifully situated in a nature reserve. Cheap food and drinks. Nice terrace.

  • 4/5 T A. 1 year ago on Google
    Too small, too many ppl in a summer weekend. Apart from that, seems like a good place to relax.

  • 5/5 Kateryna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place, perfect clean water, sand in the lake and on the beach, big shades from trees, no noisy dangerous people, fishes, playgrounds. Minuses: 16 euros for entrance for my family of 4, not cheap, but kids like the water; dirty changing cabins;

  • 1/5 Marinaud N. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst place ever to play tennis. They don't let you to play for the duration of what you paid because they push you out before, and this happens to me 3 times! No respect for client. I will never come back. Extremely désappointed.
