The spa is a rather kitchy one - yet nice and comfortable. It has a rest zone, a hotel, a sports gym (paid extra), a family bath and a bathing zone with slides and an open-air sunbathing place (bathing suit requied, and can be rented); a stone spa (ladies only), and two main theme zones - Europe and Asia (shifted men/women on the 1st day of each month). Those have about two dozens pools each, decorated by corresponding regoinal motifs, saunas and steam baths, rotemburos, jet baths, bubble baths, waterfall baths - you name it. Massage and other body treatment available (extra). Robes, towels and amenities included. Swuimsuits are not worn in the main bathing zones.

24-hour, night time paid extra (rest zone has comfortable reclining chairs, blankets available). Check the house rules (loss of wristbands is fined, for example). Children are admitted (and make the place somewhat noisy).

Highly advisable.
