Atlantis Leisure: Opinions

4.4/5 (156 Opinions)
John Do Peppino 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What an amazing sports centre in a town of that small size! A lot of options, long opening times during the day, fair prices and free rental service.

Caroline 1 year ago

Negative experience: Soft play is not suitable for non walkers although not informed at paying before admission to the area. Under 3 section is too busy with passing (running) older children. Looks great for walkers!

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your visit. Under 1's should be free which is a rough estimation on walking. We do try to keep older kids out of the small softplay but unfortunately we cannot police this the whole time and children should be being supervised. Please come back and speak to us if we can ever help.

Fantastic experience: A really nice building

Sheila ODonovan 1 year ago

Positive experience: Wish we had more time; this was a lovely stopover between Glencoe and Loch Lomond. 3 year old granddaughter was heartily entertained in both the swimming pool and the soft play. Excellent equipment, and she had the place to herself. Luckily we parked in the local carpark and "avoided" the outdoor adventure playground, which was free. Next time!

Fantastic experience: Ero ad Oban con i miei figli (13 10anni) pioveva. Siamo stati in piscina con uno scivolo e le porto da palla. Nuoto) ci siamo divertiti molto. Se piove.. Valida alternativa per un paio di ore. Costo più che onesto sauna piacevole.

Andrew McNair 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Good play plark for toddlers and older kids up to 12.

over2u2 1 year ago

Positive experience: Have been several times for swimming, the gentle slide is open a fair bit and 1 lane usually has been reserved for people who like to do lengths. There is a small kids pool with a fairly steep slide. Their is also a fantastic multistory soft play area for young kids to enjoy right next to the cafeteria area which sells pizzas outdoor wise they have a couple of 5 a side pitches alongside tennis court and another play area. Park in the back carpark where you can get 2 hours free parking ️ rather than the closer parking areas

Rob Grassby 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ideal if your on holiday and it's raining and your stuck for something to do, we used the pool for a couple of hours.

Emma Brown 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We were a family visiting the area in the school summer holidays, we came here twice for swimming, so much fun! Loads of floats/balls etc out to play with, fun atmosphere in the pool with lots of smiles and playing. My kids loved it. Fantastic flume! Better than our local 'Scottish town' pool anyday! Friendly staff too.

Stuart Fergusson 1 year ago

Positive experience: Used the gym for a couple weeks. Staff are friendly but the gym itself is very underwhelming. It does the bare minimum really. Weird posters around the place saying no deadlifting zone, where is the deadlift area? There's no platform or anything?

Atlantis Leisure
Atlantis Leisure

We are sorry you didn't understand the deadlift posters, we will look at the wording. We only allow deadlifting and anything that may involve weights being slammed into the floor in the back area where the floor isn't sprung.

Griga 2 years ago

Negative experience: Very bad rules and manager, the water was very cold in the pool, me and my son went to the sauna because we froze in the pool, well the manager kicked us out of the sauna because my son was 11 years old, after that me and my son and 7 year old daughter went to the deep pool, I put swimming fins + a safety board on my daughter and they kicked us out of there too, despite the fact that I was always close to my children... the children cried and said that I had never brought them to this pool, a very harmful manager... I don’t recommend it go there with your children

We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your time in the pool.

Louise Dolan 2 years ago

Negative experience: So outdated. Same pool as it was in the 80s. Loads of bits floating in water and not only was water cold so was the air. Think the people of Oban deserve a better pool

Atlantis Leisure
Atlantis Leisure

Hi Louise, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your visit. I have spoken to the manager and there was unfortunately an issue with the pool last week which would account for the water quality. I can reassure you this has now been resolved. In regards to the pool its self, there has been in excess of £300K spent in the last 5 years updating and maintaining the pool. As a charity and social enterprise we have to rely on grants, funding and the day to day profits to be able to keep the pool going for the community.

Iain Carmichael 2 years ago

Positive experience: Still exactly the same as i remember as a teenager ect. Pool tiles ect could do with being updated. A bit poor looking, still enjoyable swim though.

Marie Morris 2 years ago

Positive experience: We went for a swim while holidaying in the area. There are a lot of other facilities such as kids play areas and squash courts but the pool itself is very small. Despite lane swimming supposedly being finished by the time we arrived one area of the pool was still being used for lane swimming and what looked like regular locals were using the remaining area for the same purpose. It's a great local resource but not exactly geared up towards visitors.

Positive experience: Kids soft play and cafe. Decent softplay to use while in Oban for those frequent rainy days. It isn't monitored by staff so it's not uncommon for kids who are older than 3 to go in the toddlers area and run a mock.

R K 3 years ago

Negative experience: Hasn't changed since I last visited 30 years ago. Such a poorly stocked, dingy gym. Changing rooms are awful. Can't believe the cost for such poor facilities. Staff are nice and the place is very clean.

Jonny Francis 3 years ago

Positive experience: Mixed feelings about this place… Our toddler absolutely loved the amazing playground outside. The pool is also excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. HOWEVER, the pool opening times are beyond bizarre. And the soft play, whilst well-equipped, was full of the most feral children I’ve ever seen on our visit. I’ve never before seen punches thrown in a soft play… The under 3s area was full of 7+ year olds pelting each other with balls, charging around and climbing the netting. It was actually dangerous! So much so that I stood with my very independent 2 year old the entire time after he was knocked over twice by children far too old to be in the under 3s area. When it’s as busy as it was on Saturday, staff really need to keep a keen eye on what happening.

Positive experience: Lovely place. My boys aged 11 and 13 used the swimming facilities. Reasonably priced. Girl on desk was welcoming and informative. Not much in the way of slides and stuff, but a good selection of floats to play with. However, I noticed the lifeguard was fully clothed in suit trousers, shirt and brogues. I'm thankful there was no emergency which required the lifeguard to undress his formal clothing and untie his brogues in order to enter the water to save a life. Cafe was spot on, staff were lovely and the soup was tasty and reasonably priced.
