What makes it 75% Couple-Friendly: Pairs can share hot tub, sauna, public skate, or tennis, then eat in the licensed lounge, but the family-heavy atmosphere reduces romance and quiet time.

Good place to stop by for a soak in the hot tub, get in the sauna or play in the pool. They have a large kids/toddler pool as well and two water slides. Staff are friendly and approachable. Cleanliness: 10/10 Highly recommended Parking: lots. Has time limits on some areas
