βI just visited Westwave Pools in Henderson for the first time and it exceeded all my expectations! The facility was very clean, the staff were super friendly, and the gym had the latest machines. The badminton court was also excellent. I had a fantastic time in the pools and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!β

βThe experience was terrible. There were so many people queuing. We waited for about an hour and still hadn't gotten in. The parking lot was completely full, and parking is limited to 120 minutes, but the wait to get in was already more than 60 minutes. I strongly advise against bringing children. The kids were going crazy waiting in line.β
