Mermaid Swimming Lessons

I had the privilege to stay here for a few weeks during the summer, as a mermaid swimming instructor. Following the goal to make the hotel family-friendly, I held mermaid swimming lessons for guests, both for children and adults.  It was a fun recreation activity, where people of all ages fulfill their dreams of becoming a mermaid.

A magical experience for guests of all ages, conducted by yours truly, Mermaid Arabelle.
