When it comes to leisure facilities, no other hotel in Jersey has anything comparable to the Aquadome, an exciting subtropical paradise offering hours of fun. Inside, under the dome, the pool has a water slide, lazy river and cascade fountains, while outside is another pool for the summer months. If that weren’t enough, you can experience the thrill of surfing at the FlowRider™ Surf Wave (open seasonally).
Should you tire of watery activities, the hotel also has a fully equipped gym, fitness classes, a sauna, steam room and multi-sport ball court for fun kick-abouts, tennis or basketball. If you want to take the activity level down a notch or two, the spa suite provides a variety of massage therapies and treatments allowing you to switch off from the world. Alternatively, take time out to relax with a good book and refreshing drink in the gardens while children have designated play areas to explore and enjoy.
Additional fun is up for grabs seasonally at either the creche for those aged under 3, or the KidsZone where there’s oodles of fun for 4-14 year olds. With all the great sporting and leisure amenities, the Merton is also a perfect base if you’ve got teens in tow, plus there’s free WiFi, which is sure to keep you in their good books! All ages can also let off steam at the Games Zone which has the latest arcade games and old favourites such as air hockey and pool.
With six restaurants, cafés and bars at the hotel, there’s sure to be something to suit every taste. For hearty breakfasts, delicious dinners and Sunday lunch, make your way to The Belvedere, while if it’s pizza and pasta you crave then Bonetti’s has a menu packed with Italian classics along with seasonal dishes. For a slice of American retro, Jersey Joe’s serves up burgers, milkshakes and ice cream sundaes, there’s poolside snacks and refreshments at Cascades, while in the Lobby Bar you can feast on afternoon tea and bar snacks.
You can also look forward to some of the island’s very best evening entertainment in The Star Room. Here, you can look forward to seasonal tribute nights, the glitz and glamour of variety acts, hilarious stand-up comedy, magic and more.
