The wellness package is excellent! It gets you access to the rooftop pool, indoor pools, and saunas. Bring your own towels so you don’t have extra charges.

Would have been good to see the actual thermal bath part however they only allow coed visits on the weekend so me and my partner needed to use the wellness part. Which was nice but really just a hot swimming pool.
