    Local community feel. Fascinating and surprisingly a lot of exhibits and a lot to learn. About the local fishing community way of life and tools used. About King Carlos's extensive research in marine life.

    Worth it’s cost. Personally I liked it here, besides it’s totally family friendly. The museum isn’t that big, but you can totally spend about an hour here enjoying all the mammals around. :) Appreciate information in English they have here. Of course, I’d like to see more exclusive stuff regarding the royal family, hope they will add some new items in the future.

🫤 It was the worst bowling club I had ever been. Tracks had a lot glitches, one of them counted virtual ball throws, another didn't count any throws sometimes. They didn't give bowling shoes. The kitchen didn't work.

👍 It is a beautiful place, but a bit dirty. The wind blows a lot of leaves and such into the oceanic pool so it is kinda unpleasant to go in. Still, very pretty and there is a beach right by.
