Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' categoryLuna Chalets da Montanha in Serra da Estrela offers a swimming pool that comes with mixed reviews from its guests. Many visitors noted that there is an additional cost, often €15 per person per day, to use the pool, which they found excessive and unexpected. It seems a shared sentiment that chalet guests should have complimentary access to the pool, similar to hotel guests, as they are part of the same complex. This extra fee has been a point of frustration for many, especially families and those who stay in the chalets, driving some to consider it too high for the value provided.
Some guests also reported issues with the condition of the pool, mentioning excessive chlorine levels that caused physical irritation and others found the pool to be small and not up to the expected standards, despite some promotional materials that suggested otherwise. Moreover, the requirement to wear swimming caps, which are also sold for a fee, added to the grievances.
Overall, while the pool has potential and could offer a pleasant experience, the additional cost and some aspects of pool maintenance do not seem to justify the price tag for many of the visitors. More transparency and inclusiveness regarding pool access might enhance the overall guest experience at this otherwise charming destination. Show more
