This is a great place for a cookout and swimming. The installations are new and a short tuk tuk or taxi ride away. You pay a small fee for access to the pool and can also rent a cabana with a table, chairs, and a grill for cooking. Just bring your own food to cook, drinks, and towels...and you are set.
