Went there with family. Must have to say how down hill it has gone

One slide not working, lack of rings for the slides .

Three two man rings about six one man rings

Life guards showed no concerns of safety to anyone at all

Letting four to five people use one ring at a time.

Not clearing splash of people and giving the rings to their mates, while

Other paying people waiting to go,

It's a shame , I feel there is an accident waiting to happen, if you go please be careful

i went last week with my family, and yes the rings were being hogged by young kids,but i spoke to a young man who worked there and within minutes he sorted it out, and yes a slide was not working but that was no bother,there is more than one slide, my family had a great time,

Agree with posters comments it definitely could improve but we went twice and kids loved it. So don't be completely put off but as poster says be careful and you'll be fine...

You should have just taken a ring off someone. We saw kids (and adults too) just holding on to the rings and going on again. I just asked them to give us a go and most did with no problem at all. People (adults especially) should have enough manners to let others have a go anyway. What has the world come to when we NEED someone to tell us this!!! It has declined slightly and needs a bit of TLC around the place generally but that could be said for most places in TRNC. The chlorine levels in the water seem high too so if you suffer from sore eyes and eczema then it may aggrevate those conditions. Again I wouldn't say don't go at all, we and our kids thoroughly enjoyed our two days there. Think of the costs of running that place and then look at the numbers of people who go, I wouldn't imagine there was a great deal of profit in it for them...

We went there about a week ago, and yes there were people hogging the rings, i ended up going up to a young boy and asking him for the ring as i wanted to take my 7 year old son on the ride, he said didnt understand.... so spoke to his older brother and said.. for god sack i will give it back to you with that he say ok...... these boys were roughly between 14 and 20.... as we hit the water they grabbed the ring.

A little after that my son had a small accident on the slide within seconds the life guard boys were there taking him to the first aid room and sorted him out, can not fault the staff with how quickly they dealt with it.



Yes they could do with a few more life guards and ones with a bit of guts to say no stick to the rolls but when you need them they are there.



We all had a fun day and will defo be going back. yes it does need a bit of TLC and i will be keeping a close eye as we should all do.
