Verified traveler

Reservations needed to be made & paid in advance with additional fees at the property.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Paid to go there, but no swimming allowed, which sucked. Check the website!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Beautiful we will return

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Get your reservation ahead of time because they limit the number of visitors per day. The hike to the pool is easy but bring waterproof sandals or water shoes because the beach area at the pool (and the bottom of the pool) is crushed limestone and it's hard to walk on.
