“Wat een fijne ervaring bij deze SPA. De haman is beneden in het hotel. Er is een sauna, turks stoombad, haman ruimte, zwembad en behandelruimtes. Wij hebben met 4 personen het uitgebreide pakket geboekt. We zijn opgehaald bij ons hotel en daarna vriendelijk ontvangen. Lekker in de sauna en turks stoombad en vervolgens het haman ritueel met modderpakking. Dat was een super ervaring! Vervolgens thee, sap en water en daarna een uitgebreide massage met voetreflex, een handscrub en gezichtsmasker, alles bij elkaar in totaal ruim 3 uur. 😃 En helemaal relaxed terug naar het hotel gebracht.”
Pick the day first, then pick who runs it.
