Facilities
The official spa page lists 12 treatment rooms. Three private rooms have their own terraces. Separate tranquility lounges are provided for women and men.
Facilities include eucalyptus steam rooms, a sauna, hot and cold plunge pools and an outdoor relaxation pool. The health club operates 24 hours for hotel guests.
Our photographs show a polished changing area with lockers, mirrors, towels and grooming stations. The hot and cold pools sit in tiled rooms with handrails.
The Changing Area During Our Visit
The changing room used dark wood lockers and pale stone flooring. A television was mounted opposite the central bench. Towels were stacked beside the mirrors.
The grooming area had several sinks, large mirrors and countertop amenities. A separate wet area provided showers and the plunge pools.
The design felt calm and practical. Guests could change, shower and prepare without returning to a hotel room.
Hot and Cold Plunge Pools
The plunge area was the most distinctive facility photographed during our visit. Two compact pools provided contrasting water temperatures.
Handrails made entry easier. A decorative lantern and tiled walls gave the room a warmer look than a standard health club.
Contrast bathing may not be appropriate for everyone. Ask a medical professional if you have cardiovascular concerns, are pregnant or are unsure about temperature extremes.

Arrival and Booking Rules
An appointment is required. The spa recommends arriving at least 30 minutes early when using the steam room, shower or plunge pools before a treatment.
The current brochure requests 24 hours notice for a cancellation or change. Late cancellation or failure to attend can result in a charge of 50 percent of the service fee.
Late arrival reduces the treatment time. The session still ends as scheduled to protect the next appointment.
What Is Included?
Robes, slippers, lockers and disposable underwear are available. Treatment guests are invited to use selected spa facilities, but pool, beach and resort access should not be assumed.
Confirm exactly which facilities accompany the chosen service. Day packages and special offers can use different inclusions.
The hotel asks guests to keep mobile phones silent. Photography is not permitted where other guests may be changing.
Value
This is a premium hotel spa, and the prices reflect the setting and facilities. The strongest value comes from allowing time for the steam room and plunge pools around the treatment.
A short appointment without facility access may feel expensive. Compare the length, inclusions and cancellation terms before committing.
