Bad and good

Good and bad…. Only one of the main pools had pressure and that was from waterfall and a few side pressure lines. A little shabby, definitely needed some TLC. When I walked in woman’s bathroom janitor was in there with women using it. Also they had two extra charges on their food receipts. I have a photo.Also not enough lounge chairs and only one large pool other one not working.

Very badly dirty gore pools

Insanely dirty dirty pools, dirt on the bottom, black green spots. Green water full of filth, dirty musty air in all indoor pools and sauna. Food I definitely wouldn't do.. rice fries everything is cold and dyingly expensive. Rob Geus is allowed to visit here and the tent will close immediately. Outdoor pool was good and nice and warm. The rest I thank my friends for laughing and fortunately nothing caught there..

What a fun and unique experience! You must bring your own towel and flip flops are required for everyone. They will sell you those things too. There is a nice bar to order drinks. There are several pools to choose from. 101 degrees F to 65 degree cold plunge!
