Excellent place to go to start there are lockers for your valuables plenty of sunbeds and there is more than plenty water activities I took my 10 year old daughter and my husband we all had an amazing time, there is food and drink courts the food is lovely staff very accomadating and also they serve proper coffee as my husband calls it.

Expensive fun that is worth it! Staff nice and friendly! You should only understand how to throw the anchor, then you can get off the boat :-). It was good that you can radio the staff at any time if something is wrong! Fuel is billed at the end. We have now used 23 liters for 5 hours, so about 50 €.
