Didn't go in the pool as it was being worked on. Did sit outside at the café and it was very pleasant. Food was nice and the service was prompt. There is a gap of about 30 mins between breakfast and lunch.
I had the fish as the brisket burger was unavailable. It was nice and fresh.
The side order of chips were also nice.
I had a local alcohol free can of beer.

We didn’t use any of the facilities, but visited the pool to take a look at the restoration.

They’ve done a superb job. We had considered doing a yoga session and swim, but the weather wasn’t good enough to do outdoor yoga so we just had a visit.

The restoration looks great. The oools and cafe were nicely busy.

It’s a shame that some of the clean lines are spoiled by lots of safety handrails and kit to cover over the geothermal pool.

They’ve done an amazing job though and it’s fantastic to see it in good use.

Bravo!

The pools themselves were clised for cleaning and preparation for rhe winter program but the café was open, and what a great little café! Lovely staff, great menu and a very tasty big breakfast.

Went here on an August mid-week in the morning. It was very cold. Booked ahead about £8 each for the main pool. It is sea water so the same temp as the sea. In hindsight, I wish we had booked for the geothermal pool - this costs around £16 per person and includes access to the standard pool to. It is around 27-30 degrees so a lot more comfortable. We enjoyed our experience but feel it could do with a bit of better signage and modernisation. It wasn't clear we had to go into the shop to check in. Changing rooms and toilet and shower on site. Also a cafe which was quite dear but had a nice hot chocolate to warm up after the coldness of the water. Overall would recommend but advise to go on a warm day or in the geothermal pool.

Incredibly unique sea water pools right on the coast. The geothermal pool was lovely and warm even in September (at 35°C). Strongly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

There are showers to hose off and changing cabins. Limited lockers for sauna users and pool users are asked to keep belongings at the pool side.

Fantastic sea water lido. Part is geothermal heated to 30 degrees. Great coffee shop as well.

One of the oldest surviving Art Deco swimming baths in the country, built during Penzance's heyday as a fashionable seaside resort. The grade II listed pool is triangular with graceful curves and is considered the best surviving example of its type, with the exception of the Saltdean Lido in Brighton. In early 2018 work began to add a geothermal section to the pool, becoming the first of its kind in the United Kingdom to use this type of technology.

Highly recommend checking Jubilee Pool out if you find yourself in Penzance. Kitsch retro architecture and cutesy pastel coloured changing room doors make for a cool aesthetic.
The geothermal pool is like getting into a warm bath! The cold seawater pool was surprisingly not as cold as expected, likely due to being away from the currents so it works have warmed up throughout the day, so it was cold but not unbearable.
TAKE A TOWEL, NOTHING IS PROVIDED!
Worth checking the weather carefully and noting that you probably won't be drying off in the sun, so bring a nice big towel and a bag to stash your wet swimsuit in. It's recommend bringing flip flops too, as the changing rooms are quite dirty, so something for your feet helps.
