Adequate. Everything was very clean. Missing little touches like dish brush, tissues, milk, etc With no one on site to communicate with it felt a little unwelcoming.

Great property, we had room G. Road traffic was loud but not much you can do about that. Nice mineral spa, make sure you read the instructions or itll be too hot to get in. Dont expect the room to actually be ready at 2pm if you're planning to show up at 2pm.

The room was spotless, we saw no - one. We appreciate that we finally had a Ph number that was answered on our arrival to help us deal with our entry problems. Apart from that, I had asked 3 separate questions by text & not one of them was answered, it felt like we were communicating with a robot.

Overall, this is a great place to stay for relaxation in the hot tub. The check-in process is great when you can just drive straight to your room. The only issue we had was that the previous guest didn't report the broken TV, so we went without it for the night. But we were only there for the mineral hot tub, so we didn't miss the TV.

Our own private mineral geothermal spa

Our own private mineral geothermal spa. This place was one of the highlights of our trip. Though the building is older and needs updating it was clean and comfortable inside the private spa on the patio was a bonus, it was clean and in good condition, during our stay we had several soaks in it.
