Summer months will feel busier and more organized—the animation team will be visible, shows will run, mini clubs will operate.
Off-season (October–May) sees thinner crowds. Water temperatures below 18°C discourage swimming, and the resort animations scale down. You'll encounter fewer families and more adults seeking quieter seaside time, though the resort structure remains intact.
The lifeguard schedule (08:30–17:00) creates a natural attendance rhythm. Serious swimmers and families tend to arrive within those windows when supervision is present.
