Take a Swim in the Venetian Pool

The depth of the pool range from 1.2 meters (4 feet) to over 2.4 meters (8 feet). This is a pool for all ages, from your child to your grandparents. 

Your children will be safe in the kiddy pool near the lifeguard station on top on the bridge where it leads out to an island with palm trees on it. There is a grotto across the pool stretched into the hillside. There’s also a waterfall in the pool which you can massage your back with. You can also enjoy sunbathing at the sandy sunning area.
