Before you book a spa break
- Is spa access included? Ask whether the thermal suite and pool are included in your rate.
- Do you need to book a time? Ask whether hot tubs and thermal areas need a slot.
- What are the adult hours? Where only part of the day is adults only, check the times.
- Treatments for two: ask about couples treatments when you book the room.
