🚨**Disappointing Experience at Spash & Fun Water Park **🚨

I recently visited Spash & Fun Water Park in Malta and was quite disappointed with the overall experience. Here are some key issues I encountered:

1. Lack of Lifeguard Attention: The lifeguards were frequently on their phones, smoking, or not paying attention to the rides. This neglect created a significant safety concern as there were no vigilant eyes on the swimmers and riders.

2. Unenthusiastic Staff: The staff on shift didn’t seem to care and were often just standing around. The most enthusiastic workers were the ones who taught dance routines at the wave pool, often to an empty audience. Their energy, although appreciated, seemed misplaced given the lack of engagement elsewhere in the park.

3. Slide Issues: Many of the slides didn't have enough water to provide a smooth ride. This made the experience uncomfortable and less enjoyable than expected.

4. Poor Slide and Dive Maintenance: The diving board had three steps missing to the highest point, with rusty metal sticking out and wood rotting away. At the bottom of the diving area, young children were swimming around with no lifeguard to get them out of the way, creating a hazardous situation. Additionally, the missing steps on the diving board made it difficult to exit the pool safely.

5. Rampant Cannabis Smoking: There were lots of people smoking cannabis around the sun beds, creating an awful smell that permeated the area. No staff seemed to care or take action to address this issue, further detracting from the overall experience.

6. Inadequate First Aid: A friend hurt her foot on one of the slides, resulting in bleeding toes and a potential fracture. The only first aid offered was non-waterproof plasters, with no ice pack or proper injury assessment provided. This lack of adequate first aid care was very concerning.

7. Dirty and Uncomfortable Changing Facilities: The changing facilities and bathrooms were very dirty and in desperate need of a thorough cleaning. They lacked benches to put bags or change of clothes on, making it uncomfortable to change. Additionally, the facilities were very dark and had no air conditioning, making the experience even more unpleasant.

8. Lax Rules and Regulations Around Slides: Very young children were skipping queues and riding slides that were clearly inappropriate for their age. There were no lifeguards checking the riders, resulting in multiple people, sometimes four or five at a time, going down slides simultaneously. There were no enforced height, weight, or age limits, which is a major safety concern.

9. Negligent Staff During Emergencies: I witnessed someone get into difficulties at the Super Bowl slide, and we had to get a life buoy to help them while the "lifeguard" on duty was sitting nearby in a chair, completely inattentive. This level of negligence is unacceptable and dangerous.

Overall, Spash & Fun Water Park needs to address these issues to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience for it
