Overall is wonderful! Different temperature in different pool. The hottest pool is really hot , most people just can stay there for a few minutes, but l enjoyed it!
Well worth a visit!

Great place to soak in the mineral goodness. Can feel it sinking into your skin! Beautiful atmosphere and lovely staff too. Highly recommended.
