Ilidža Thermal Riviera — Attraction in Ilidža Municipality

I brought my three year old daughter here for a special Friday outing. I was told the place was run down and dirty but unfortunately decided to go anyway.

The lifeguard on duty did nothing but look at his cell phone the entire time even though there was a steady 10-20 kids in the water. What’s the point if you aren’t watching the kids?

When we arrived at 9.30 we were told the kids pirate ship was open. It was open but the water was off. When I asked them to turn it on, they said it turns on between 11 and 12 and that we should use the other pools. There were 20-30 kids there at this point…Why not turn it on?

Most importantly, the pools were dirty and clearly not maintained. While I’ll never know for sure, my daughter and I both got sick after this visit. If there’s clearly garbage and other random things floating around in the pool, what else is in there?

I heard this used to be a really nice place. So disappointing that it’s fallen into disrepair. I won’t be returning and plan to share my experience...

Positive: There is water

Negative: You might not want to go in.

Well, so much to say.... first thing... management should research a few words. Pressure Washer Chlorine Algae Removal

The second thing is that for some reason they didn't feel like it would be a good idea to cover the chain link fences so that we didn't have to sit next to passer bys on the other side, maybe a hedge. But considering that they don't seem to invest anything in cleaning coffee, blood, stains, and general dirt from the tiles by the pool, I am sure that any vegetation would end up layering the bottom of their pools.

This could be a great place with a little basic upkeep, but they seem to be more concerned about stopping you from brining in water for your kids than making the place clean and presentable.

Also, just in case anyone is drowning, you might have to text the lifeguard since they never look up from their phones. Maybe cover yourself in cigarettes, so...

We brought our family of 5 … 2 adults and 3 children here for a day of summer fun. When we arrived they told us our 3 children were adult priced because they were over 12. So, 80 marks ($50 USD) for a family of 5. Plus, lounge chairs and umbrellas were 7 km each on top of hourly parking. It all seems a bit of a racket and doesn’t seem worth the price since the place was littered with trash and weeds were everywhere. Our kids are all excellent swimmers. However, they didn’t seem to have adequate lifeguards for the number of people swimming. In fact, there was an incident in one of the pools while we were there and it took the guards extra time to run over to attend to the victim. It seemed that the guys wearing “spasilac” or lifeguard tees were more concerned with monitoring the distribution of chairs and umbrellas. If I had young children I would be weary bringing them to this pool. Not the fun and relaxing ambience we...
