Rio Lento Waterpark — Attraction in Zouk el Kharab

Going to rio lento was like embarking on an odyssey through the waterpark ; it was a revelation of aquatic marvels and exhilarating escapades. From the precipitous descent down the marvelous slides to the fresh pool water , every moment unfolded like a symphony of aquatic delights. The architectural ingenuity of each slide, meticulously crafted to challenge gravity yet embrace thrill-seekers with utmost safety, was a testament to human innovation. As I surrendered to the gravitational force of each slide, I experienced an exhilaration similar to a celestial dance, where time momentarily lost its grasp. The aquatic ballet in the Wave Pool transformed mere mortals into buoyant maestros, riding crests with grace and succumbing to troughs with joyous abandon. It was a synthesis of aquatic dynamism and leisurely reprieve, a paradoxical union of adrenaline and tranquility.Amidst the aquatic grandeur, the ambiance exuded a rarefied serenity, punctuated by the laughter of children and the subdued hum of water cascading. Lifeguards, vigilant custodians of aquatic safety, lent an air of reassurance without diminishing the thrill of each aquatic endeavor. In retrospect, my sojourn at this aquatic utopia was not merely a voyage of recreation but a transcendental experience. It awakened dormant senses, fostered camaraderie among fellow aquanauts, and imbued a lasting appreciation for the harmonious coalescence of engineering finesse and natural splendor.

Thus, I depart this aqueous sanctum RIO LENTO with a heart brimming with gratitude and memories etched in the azure recesses of my mind. For those seeking respite from terrestrial constraints and longing to commune with aquatic prowess, this waterpark stands as an indomitable paragon of aquatic excellence and...

This place forgot what customer service means. I took my family that’s about 7 adults and 6 kids there and ended up paying more than 17 million L.L that included entrance, food, desserts and some drinks. The place was extremely dirty like the bathrooms, cooking staff and tables. The food was horrible. They only do the wave twice a day which did not make sense, it should be done more frequently so people can have fun as groups. I guess it’s another way to be cheap and save money. When I finished I got shocked that they had the showers closed with a sign stating “ Closed due to COVID “ and this is in July 2022 which there was no COVID emergency and none of the staff was wearing and PPE such as gloves or face mask. It was just an excuse to save money from their end on clean water even though they are pricing everything in $. I drove here from a far place and was going out for dinner after swimming only to be shocked that I can’t even shower and I need to keep that filthy water on me. This place prices everything on $ and does not care about customer experience, they want to save every possible penny.

BTW - I ended up breaking the locked shower door and taking a shower by force, so I advice you to do the same if you...

2024: Took a chance to revisit. It was a much better experience. Improvements have been made in many areas. Staff were nice. Rides: On a Friday, rides were all open. The kids enjoyed it. Inflatables were in a good shape, well inflated and no leaks. Important to maintain it for the rest of the summer. Toilets: acceptable and 2 cleaning ladies were available all day. Entrance fees: acceptable, considering they are same as 2023, while other beach clubs have increased their prices between 50 to 100% this year.

2022: There are lot of opportunities to improve this place. You can assume they are struggling with expenses because it is very large to maintain. It has deteriorated over the years.

Toilets are terrible 0 / 5 Rides not all open, it was a saturday and 3 key rides were not open all day. 2 / 5 Inflatables need maintenance, air leaking from most. You could see some kids struggling during the waves pool, but kudos to life savers who immediately jumped in and supported them 2 / 5 Food is way overpriced for its quality 2 / 5 Entrance Prices 3 / 5

I hope next year is a...
