Grad Sunca - Water and Dino park — Attraction in Republika Srpska

We have now visited Trebinje 3 times, each time visiting the park. The first time we were there, there were lots of people and lots of swimming rings - the second time we were there, there were less people and less swimming rings - and now the third time we are here, where almost no people and absolutely almost no swimming rings - but in return it has become more expensive to visit the park.

After 3pm the locals come to the park and when they arrive, there is some form of "bathing ring mafia", where everyone has taken ownership of the few bathing rings that are there, even if they are not used, but are still in their possession.

You'd think that those who work there can create a little balance in things, but they don't really care, and it seems like they're more concerned with texting via their phone than getting down to their job - whatever that is.

Staff generally seem quite arrogant and uncaring as well as extremely unprofessional - which is quite worrying to think about they have to look after your children in the pool - which is really cold.

Other things that have puzzled me now after my 3 years visiting the park - why can't you pay with a visa in the park, but only for entrance? Doesn't make sense and doesn't appeal to people who want to spend money in the park. Internet, why is it not available in the park for guests when mobile internet sucks big time in Bosnia?

If I had to give my recommendation 3 years ago, I would probably have given the place 4-5 stars, but today I am extremely disappointed with the development the park...

Plus: new, very clean, perfectly blended with nature surroundings, decent amount of content, staff is very helpful and nice, guards are doing their job very well regarding safety, beverage prices are great. Minus: Food offer is horrible, non existent. You can buy sweet and salty snacks (like chips, chocolate bars, ice cream, etc.) but "real food" offer is non existant. Last weekend they only had poor excuse for pizza: small frozen pastry with strange tomato sauce and few pieces of ham and cheese on top of it. My group bought one and we left it uneaten. Restaurant in the hotel connected to park doesn't allow entrance in bathing shorts, shirts and sandals, (perfectly understandable from one point of view but illogical bussiness move since most of the customers would be park guests), therefore we remained hungry. Advice for future visitors: 1. Bring your own food; 2. Buy half a day ticket, use rest of the time to have good meal and sightseeing in close-by...

Decent amount of content. Ticket ladies extremely slow: after 20 min waiting for tickets you are told that only the other ticket booth accepts cards so you wait again for another 20 mins. Then the card machine doesn't work, and the ticket lady barks at you to find cash because she 'can't be bothered with this'. If you are just traveling through, you might not have 100eur in local currency. Crowded inside. 2 bars work. Absolute chaos at snack bar, 45min+ wait time for a sad excuse for a pizza. No system, patrons must push and shove to get their food. No lockers. Few changing rooms, one had a used menstrual pad inside. Staff rude (manager yelling at a person checking tickets in front of customers, snack bar employees screaming at each other and at patrons). Lifeguards attentive; however, 8 kids hospitalized with chlorine poisoning due to a technical malfunction and park remained open, so safety standards...
