| Fantastic room and one of the best Spa facilities I've ever experienced (and I've been to a few!).
The outdoor hot-tub is amazing, overlooking the river. A proper sized indoor pool too for those who like to do some normal laps and not just splash around.
The Thermal suite... WOW... more steam-room's and sauna's than you'll know what to do with!
Relaxation room after treatment is the kind of place you could spend all day in. |
|
 When booking our treatments, I checked if it was OK for us to use the Thermal suite beforehand.
I was told that this was fine, however I then found 2 Thermal suite charges on my bill.
Would have thought that spending €200 on treatments for me and my partner would have covered the thermal suite as well... Watch out! |
