The baths were very relaxing and stunning! Downsides are that it does feel crowded in comparison to others, very difficult to get a sunbed :( and, finding your way around was a bit challenging sometimes but some staff were very helpful.

The building and the spa are really great. The architecture, the ambience, the pools. Overall it was very crowded, which firstly made it very noisy and secondly there was a lack of loungers to rest and relax. In addition, the outdoor pool was not open and the staff were simply unfriendly. A great pity. Important: Take a swimming cap with you or alternatively be prepared to buy one in the spa store at the entrance. Bathing caps must be worn in the swimming pool, not in the thermal pools!

Thought winter was not a good time to go...who knows, came on boxing day, sun shining, and the best experience ever, bath, sauna, and massage. Could do with a pleasant cafe or restaurant.

It was amazing but obviously I was expecting more shows or music inside, though it met my expectations it don't exceeded them! Overall I would still go there one more time!

Very fun and very well organized. A little chaos on arrival (better to get there early) but then everything was fantastic.
