Been wanting to visit these baths for YEARS and finally dragged my boyfriend here for my bday. Weather was COLD but the water was suuuper toasty—like, almost too hot in some spots, but after a while I started hunting for those little cooler patches. Staff were really friendly and showed us how to work the lockers (honestly I always struggle with those digital ones). The sulfur smell hits you at first but you get used to it after like 10 min. Swim-up bar was coool but wish the drinks were a bit cheaper. Overall, def worth it, even tho my hair smelled weird for days.

Visited with my parents and little sister. Pools are BEAUTIFUL, the blue color is real. Only thing is, there are random hot/cold spots, so my sister kept squealing every time she found one. Changing area was a bit of a zoo by 5pm. Staff were helpful though.

Went with my girlfriend at sunset, and it started SNOWING, which was wild. Floating in the warm water while snowflakes hit your face = pure magic. Not too crowded either, maybe because it was a Tuesday night? Bring a hat for the walk in/out, trust me.

    Honestly, it was fine but nothing mind-blowing. The pools are nice and warm but there was a lot of construction going on? Some areas were blocked off which kinda sucked. Changing rooms were crowded and floor was WET everywhere, bring ur own flipflops for sure. People kept walking around with shoes, which is gross. Good views tho.

    Honestly didn't expect to love it as much as I did. Not as flashy as some other spas but feels more local/authentic. Had a beer in the pool, chatted with some other travelers. Stayed till it got dark and the stars came out. Dreamy.
