Great experience. - Very professionally run spa. Staff are very helpful and yet unobtrusive. Facilities are excellent. The pools are indicated by type and temperature and are easy to access. Changing rooms, showers and lockers are clearly laid out, clean and functional. There is a coffee shop offering food and made to order juices and smoothies.

Wonderfully relaxing few hours! - We had a wonderful time. It was extremely relaxing and we each had a really good massage. I highly recommend the Polynesian Spa. The staff were all helpful and they did not rush us in any way. We needed a break after a long bus ride and spending time at the spa was the perfect thing for us to do.

Awesome evening at Polynesian - The pools were awesome (and it got quieter as the day wore on) and my massage was fabulous. Being able to have a massage with a big window open, opening out into the water with the birds singing all around…that was fabulous. My massage was also wonderful…with complementary herbal tea afterward. A very enjoyable several hours at Polynesian!

Great activity even on a rainy day/evening - Very relaxing (especially since we chose the adult only package). Great to have a range of pools with temperatures and properties.

A good health journey. - The water quality is good and the environment is beautiful. The water temperature is appropriate and comfortable. We're having fun here. It's a working day and it's mostly older people who come here for health.

Tranquil spot to zone out, but go early - Really relaxing time. Lovely pools, beautiful surroundings and fascinating outlook on the lake. We elected the kid-free area and it was blissfully quiet - at least until a large group arrived late afternoon. Thoroughly recommend. But go early in the day to avoid the late afternoon noisies...

Good affordable option if don’t want to shop around - Busy place! Variety of spa pool temperatures to experience. Different options to choose from whether you want to muscle in with the tour bus loads or go private.

Enjoyable - A lovely experience, enjoyed the tranquility. At times noisy with groups of people, even though the attendant said no loud talking.

A sunbathing spa where birds keep company. - Unusual place with magnificent views of the bird reserve. Beautiful pools, water tap for drinking, changing room and shower very spacious and well organized. However, not enough temperature variation to withstand strong heat immediately.
