Reasonable price

It was so and so maybe because we just tried the family pools. Which is chaotic since we have kids and other kids. But if we should have tried the deluxe and pavilion ones maybe we will give a better rating. There is a waiting time of 45mins to be able to enter the family room. I just hope they make a time limit for 2 hours just so booking time be followed. But water is great and hot.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The Family Pools can be lively during school holidays, and we do note expected wait times online at those peak periods. There’s no time limit for entry, so families can enjoy their visit at their own pace. We’re glad you enjoyed the mineral waters and hope you might try the Deluxe Lake Spa or Pavilion Pools next time for a quieter experience.

Not that great

To be honest an enjoyable experience as the life guards get staring us which made me very uncomfortable.

From Polynesian Spa - Family Pools

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you felt uncomfortable during your visit. Our lifeguards are required to actively supervise the pools and guests at all times to help ensure a safe environment for everyone. We appreciate that this can sometimes be perceived differently, particularly in a family pool setting where close observation is part of their role. We value your comments and will share them with the team as a reminder of the importance of balancing active supervision with a welcoming and relaxed guest experience. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know.
