Iberostar Albufera Playa - how are the swimming pools?

Hi all,

We are strongly considering Iberostar Albufera Playa for mid July with our 2 and 4 year old boys, but I have read the odd, though not isolated review (s), that the toddler pool or pools in general were freezing beyond use. I understand they may not be heated but how are they, can anyone shed any light on how they find them?

Thanks!

I don’t know the hotel, but Algarve swimming pools will be fine in July! Check the date of reviews - May or October half term might be a bit more dodgy.
