Aquapark Žusterna — Attraction in Upravna enota Koper / Unità amministrativa Capodistria

It was retro, but very functional and warm enough, too warm outside that I felt dizzy at times as I read by the pool more than being inside. One large pool for swimming, one with a slide (my school boy loved it), one for babies and a few more around jacuzzis. It is retro style, but, as said, everything works. The water staff were very nice. I would advise to bring your own towels, double, your own hair dryer as what they have is more like hand dryer and some snacks you eat before and after as the pool doesn't have a eating place that is opened in Feb afternoon (it works mornings. It was a bit crowded, but we went there during holidays. We can compare it to Portorož inside pool as we went there too - Žusterns offers more value for families and kids. It's exactly by the sea, but the concrete and the road kill the mood. Lots of glass, beautiful at blue hours. Parking in garage is 1 euro per hour if you buy three-hour...

V Aquapark hodim že 20 let. Žal se mi zdi, da je obtičal nekje na začetku stoletja in se kvečjemu poslabšal. Še vedno sicer rad hodim sem, ker neke alternative v bližini ni. Bi pa upravo in odgovorne prosil, da usmerijo več pozornosti na detajle (manjše in večje). Prva stvar, ki bode v oči še pred prihodom, je bistveno prekratek večerni urnik tudi v višku turistične sezone (samo do 19.50 ure).

Bazeni: Vsaka stenska ura kaže 5 min drugačen čas (psihološki trik, da se kopalci prej spokamo?). Obrabljenost bazenov, sten, ploščic ipd. se močno pozna, ponekod je vidna plesen na stropu, omarice niso več na magnetno zapestnico, ampak na kartico in označen ključ, ki ti ga lahko vsak ukrade, saj ga v vodo ne vzameš s sabo. Včasih iz sanitarij močno zaudarja. Stekla oken niso od zunaj zatemnjena, tako da neke diskretnosti ni. Umetne rastline (palme) so oskubljene kot kokoš za v juho. Notranji bazen s slapom je že dlje časa zaprt, ker sklepam, da ni dovolj reševalcev, da bi ga nadziralo? Včasih so bili pri recepciji normalni feni za lase, zdaj so taki kot tisti za sušenje rok, ki pa spet včasih delajo, včasih ne, če pa si višji od 185 cm, se sploh slabo piše tvojemu hrbtu, če si želiš posušiti lase. Enkrat sem bil jeseni na bazenu in sem se tresel, čeprav sem zelo trpežen na mraz, ker očitno ogrevanje tako vode kot zraka ni ustrezno delovalo, upam, da letos ne bo več tako.

Savne: Turška savna ima definitivno premočno paro, ki prehitro in prepogosto napolni savno ter ki izhaja od spodaj, kar ti lahko spari noge, če se usedeš preblizu ventila. Tista soba z vodnimi posteljami in tista z lučkami na stropu sta totalno brezvezni in bi ju lahko naredili v dodatni savni ali pa povečali obstoječo finsko savno. Tudi tukaj sanitarije včasih močno smrdijo. Voda za pitje v predprostoru je nepriročna, dosti bolje bi bilo jo imeti pri bazenih, da ne hodiš ven in not, vsakič, ko si žejen. Mogoče je receptorki nerodno, da bi nosila vodo v savno med gole goste, ne vem. Brisača, ki jo dobiš za v savno, je videti bolj kot kaka odeja za enojno posteljo (reciklaža starih iz hotela?) in ni udobna. V drugih savnah dobiš eno za suhe savne za okoli pasu in eno ločeno za tuširanje.

Upam, da v prihodnjih letih popravite te zadeve, potem vam z veseljem dam kakšno zvezdico več in povabim...

Well, this is an old school place, so maybe the name is overpromising hence the not so good rate but in my view it has just everything one needs to have a great time. Yes it has only one slide, but that is just the right build. (Forget the slide in the dark and/or just beat yourself on the brainless curves madness and have fun.) No crazy crowd, nice employees, free parking, what else you need? OK, the parking is also sold to externals so it can get crowded but we found a spot after a few rounds. I would call it butique aquapark and IF I ever come back to Slovenian Coast this will be...
