Remember to wear appropriate swimwear. If there is a faecal incident in the pool, please promptly inform our staff and follow their instructions.
It is important for parents, teachers, and caregivers to closely monitor the children under their care. For children who are 17 years old and younger, they must be actively supervised by a caregiver who is at least 18 years old and able to provide immediate assistance. The caregiver should also be within arm’s reach of the children. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that children are taken to the toilet regularly to prevent accidents in the pool. If a child is wearing a nappy, they must use swimmer nappies which can be purchased from Reception and the Pool Bar/Cafe. Regular checks should also be made on the nappies. Any child under 18 years of age who is found without supervision will be asked to leave the pool complex. If the child’s parent or caregiver cannot be located, the police may be contacted.
As the pool complex is a licensed area, we kindly request that you refrain from bringing any food, drinks, water, or water bottles (especially glass) into the pool complex. Free drinking water is available at the Bar, Cafe, and the water fountain within the complex. We offer a selection of delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, local coffee, and beer at our Cafe/Bar.

Please note that pool attendants are only available on-site during the Christmas/New Year holiday period (late December/early January). If you are not a confident swimmer, we advise you to refrain from diving in or going beyond your depth. You can either walk in from the shallow beach by the top bar or use the steps to enter the pool. It is crucial that all pool users and visitors comply with our acceptable behaviour guidelines and familiarise themselves with the pool rescue and emergency procedures. Let's work together to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
We would like to remind all our guests that their behaviour counts. Our facility is equipped with cameras to monitor pool usage and ensure the safety of guests and their belongings. We kindly request that you respect our staff, other pool users, and our facility and refrain from using inappropriate language. Swimming while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited.
Smoking or vaping is also not allowed anywhere in the pool complex, including the changing facilities and toilets. Please go outside the complex if you need to smoke or vape.
Inappropriate, anti-social, and boisterous behaviour will not be tolerated, and anyone who exhibits such behaviour may be asked to leave the pool complex. We do not allow running around the pools, tag games, pushing, fighting, jumping around the pools, climbing on, or diving in the Grotto Cave.

You can approach the uniformed bar staff who will take over responsibility and take appropriate action to ensure the safety of all patrons. Your safety and well-being are our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe and friendly environment for everyone.
It is important for your safety that you do not use the Grotto Cave alone. A minimum of two pool users, with at least one person aged 18 years or older, is required to use the Grotto Cave. Please be aware that the Grotto is four meters deep, and diving off the Cave is strictly prohibited. We want to ensure that everyone can enjoy the facilities safely and responsibly, so please follow these guidelines at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.

While we love our furry friends, we are not a pet friendly Resort. Unfortunately, this also means inside your caravan or motorhome.
