What the community said
In June, pool water heats up to around +34°C and provides almost no relief from the heat. One traveler experienced mild heatstroke and had to take a cold shower and paracetamol. The best strategy is to stay in the shade by the pool — request a room close to it when booking.

Some guests skip the pool entirely and cool down with iced drinks instead. Children can spend a couple of days at a waterpark, while the sea remains the main swimming option. No stomach issues were reported after swimming in the sea.

The fact that very few guests actually swim in the pool suggests the water is too warm to be refreshing. Those who do go in confirm it feels more like a warm bath than a cool dip in summer.
