Pescariu Sports & SPA
the cluster of swimming pools (indoor, outdoor, kids', and a relaxation pool)
Large sports and spa club with pools, courts, and a full gym. Friendly, organized staff; towels and lockers on site. Book spa slots and tennis courts ahead at peak times.
In Tei, Bucharest. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Pescariu Sports & SPA is a large, upscale sports and wellness complex on the banks of Lake Tei in Bucharest, holding roughly a 4.4/5 rating across ~1,950 reviews. Facilities include fitness rooms, soccer and squash/tennis courts, multiple swimming pools (indoor, outdoor, a children's pool, and a relaxation pool), a spa, a restaurant, and a kids' day-care. Reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness, well-maintained pool area, and polite staff, with some calling it one of the best pools in Bucharest. The main downsides cited are price (around €25 on weekends, among the priciest pool entries in the city, with 'spicy' food prices) and constant loud club music that some find unsuitable for relaxation or families. This corroborates the curator's notes about the broad facilities, organized staff, and on-site amenities.
