Great experience

I throughly enjoyed my afternoon relaxing at the pools. The pools are clean and gardens well tended. I enjoyed the ad on of walking around the periphery ( at an additional cost) , in order to view the pools from above, see the geyser which generates the boiling water, and learning how the pools were created. The change room could be upgraded, along with the shower curtain. But otherwise all good. Reception staff really friendly and polite. Thank you
