I had faster to the fun and went to guest services for something for a headache. After waiting for 20 minutes and watching workers look at me and ignore me I gave up.

Pool

The pools were always over ran with adults that would get mad anytime a child got in the pool(lido pool that is for everyone).

My 9 and 2 year olds loved it.
