Bad... It's not enough to describe it, the pool had so much chlorine that it ended up causing burns to my daughter, when we mentioned this to one of the girls in charge, not to mention the only one there, she only told us "seriously", they didn't even have a place to file a complaint or talk to the person in charge of the place, since we had to take my daughter to the medical unit since her skin was falling off and it hurt from having bathed in less than an hour in the pool, they should improve the quality of the place or close it permanently, DON'T DO IT I RECOMMEND....!!!!
