AQUAPARK Costa Teguise — Attraction in Teguise

Pluses: My children (6 and almost 5 years old) loved it Food in local restaurant is not too bad and for a reasonable price

Minuses: You can see that the Aquapark has the better times over - most slides and pools would benefit from some refurbishment and new paint. And the wild river is only wild because you hit many parts of your body on the very shallow parts where you hit the ground or the side walls. The lifeguards are unbelievable - none of them seemed to care about safety or maintaining basic rules (like no smoking in the area of children's pool). The only thing they really DID care about was chasing kids and calling them out of the (kids') pool to measure their height. If you're under 1.20 m, you can use certain pools and slides. If you're above 1.20 m, you can use very different slides and are not allowed to go in the kids' pool. My older son measures cca 1.18 m - he was measured 8 times altogehter! From these he was called out of the kids' pool six (!) times to get measured by different lifeguards (who are changing their positions at various pools and slides so that they can "supervise" everyone equally). When I protested that he doesn't need any more measurements, they called someone to come and "explain" to me this was their job. Till now I always thought their job was to maintain safety. I saw a few children injured who were only attended by their parents and no lifeguard really cared. I saw children eating crisps in the pool and climbing on the slides from the bottom. I saw many adults smoking cigarettes in the close proximity of the kids' pool. But the only thing the lifeguards were interested in was to continue measuring and telling people off for their height. Basically - if you are a good swimmer but only measure 1.18 m, you are not allowed to use any of the big slides. If you are a non swimmer but unfortunately measure 1.21 m, you have to be really brave as they don't allow you in the children's pool. No common sense at all. My advice: don't go there if your child is of borderline height as they will get measured every time some "lifeguard"...

Visited the waterpark on a Sunday in August with my family. We booked the tickets online beforehand, €26 each. There was only a small queue when we arrived. We paid €7 for a locker and you can pay by cash or card. However, the 6 digit locker code gets printed on a piece of paper. So if you can’t remember the code where are you supposed to put the piece of paper to stop it getting wet on the slides? The slides are good fun, there just aren’t enough staff/lifeguards to watch all the slides. At one point there was one lifeguard watching 3 slides at once and people were just going down as and when they pleased, regardless of if other people were still on the slide or in the water at the bottom. Be careful on the yellow tire slide. One member of my family flew off the tire on the sharp turn and banged his head on the slide and had a big lump on his head. The lifeguard at the bottom of the slide was just looking over and laughing, he didn’t come over to ask if he was ok. But then when he realised he’d banging his head he just looked away. The long blue slide that runs around the edge of the waterpark was fun but waiting for people to come down with the tires at the end was a pain, it took about 20 minutes to get a tire. So the park could do with getting some more tires. Other than that we didn’t have to queue for more than 5 minutes to get on any of the slides which was good. There are plenty of sun loungers around the park, however some of them are a bit dirty and have green slime on them, could do with a clean. Most of the waterpark looks a bit dated and could do with a clean and a fresh paint job, this could potentially be done in the quiet seasons? The food was nice and reasonably priced. There is a shop onsite too selling drinks, snacks and gifts/merchandise. Throughout the day there was a photographer taking pictures and these could be viewed and purchased near the entrance/exit of the waterpark. There is a taxi rank outside the waterpark but we had to wait quite a while as I think the local market is...

Went to the waterpark with my family reasonably priced 4 adults €26 euros each if you buy online you receive 8% off. When we arrived it was very quiet no queues. €5 for small locker €7 for large pay by card or cash & it issues you a locker and pin number on a piece of paper which is absolutely pointless as where can I put this paper if I'm going in the water (take a waterproof bag clear bag) & it also asks for a backup phone number which I'm not sure why they need this, it must be because your paper with number on has turned to paper mache but I can't access my phone as it's in the locker!!. The park is good don't be put off it could just do with a lick of paint / jet wash in the quiet season. Rides are very good just not enough staff to man the rides it's so confusing. Beware of the yellow tyre tube, this ride is a accident waiting to happen. I flew round the bends & I was frightened of going over the edges as I got to the last two bends the tyre tipped me over & I thumped my head on the slide & the tyre shot off I was so worried someone was coming behind me as nobody knows who's got off before next person comes down. I was holding my head and my vision went blur the sos guy was in stitches that I was near drowning in the water struggling to get out. I got on the side & sat down & the sos guy just ignored me & looked away I came away with a big egg shape on my forehead (see picture). The rest of rides are good just not enough tyres budget must have gone after 10 tyre tubes (come on aquapark it can't be that expensive for 30 tyre tubes). Food was reasonable priced for what you got plenty of loungers again like the pool all green marks on everything. Toilet faciltys are OK the floor on the ramp is very slippery once it's wet. Had to wait a while for a taxi but was told this was because the markets are on Sundays & the cabs are busy. Overall apart from my little accident really enjoyed the park just needs more life guards ride operators. Not sure I will visit again. But I did enjoy most of what...
