“Splash - A beautiful spot, lovely warm water & a great pool or pools to swim in. We went with a cruise group 2 bus loads so it was manic, but outside of a big group it would be a great way to spend a bit of time. It’s a 25 minute or less walk, down a road then a reasonably steep track but well worth it.” - Reviewed on 2023-07-13
