Fantastic Pools
Had a wonderful time here, my 3 year old granddaughter loved the slide, and we all loved the hot mineral pools. Our bodies and skin felt so good after our time spent here. There is something for everyone, and it is spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.

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.

Fun family experience
Family pools were wonderful and the kids enjoyed the wee slide. We went early morning which was the best time to have fun without too much chaos noise - as the morning went on more and more families came. Shower area was great to wash off before getting changed and thought it was a great touch to have hair and body wash available.
From Polynesian Spa - Family Pools
Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like an ideal time to enjoy the family pools peacefully, and it’s good to hear the little ones loved the slide. We’ve put effort into making the facilities comfortable, so your feedback on the showers is appreciated. Looking forward to welcoming you and your family back soon!
