A Real Parent's Story
The warm pool that cured our jetlag
“The Emerald Pool at 8am felt like a giant bath.”
Read full story
After 12 hours flying with a 4-year-old we were zombies. Someone suggested the hot springs as a gentle first activity. The forest walk is beautiful, boardwalks the whole way. The pool is bright blue-green, water bath-warm. My son floated with water wings for an hour.
