Unfortunately visitors are not permitted during school holiday and peak periods as we have discovered that this inundates the resort and its facilities and has a negative impact on our paying guest’s enjoyment. All visitors must be registered at Reception. We thank you for your co-operation.

For everyone’s safety, no alcohol is to be taken into the swimming pool or waterslide park area. No glass or bottles permitted as broken glass in the pool means having to completely empty the pools.
