Iv visted this destination now multiple times throughout the year. Of course the best time to come is during summer, with warm water, sunny days reflecting off the lake surface. And lots of events including live music and kids options while the adults can relax. You have the options for boat trips. Boat higher, and there is a vast array of food options and restaurants in this location which suits everyone.

Hyvät hampurilaiset ja tankkauksen yhteydessä palvelu pelasi. En tiedä oliko veneen pysäköinti ilmaista vain muistojen suur-saimaa ajojen vuoksi mutta nyt se sitä kuitenkin oli.

Nopea ja todella ystävällinen palvelu. Mukana ollut koira sai myös oman vesikupin ja oli tervetullut mukaan terassille. Vegaani hampurilaisateria oli todella hyvä.

Very cool place, lovely outside area with Saimaa and the wind during the summer, only negative for me might be the 8 Euro beers but id def say its worth one with the scenery. Great staff, remember to get the drinks from the bar I'm pretty sure its self service.
