It was a good experience but not one that worked out too well because of scheduling. Hurried to get there and weren't sure whether we could change clothes there or should change before we came. A little more info would have been nice. We aren't used to saunas and only lasted a few minutes. Read more

It was too hot for us. I could have cooled off in the water but couldn't rely on the steps out of the water to be able to get back on shore.

We had to ask for assistance to get the prior group out. After requesting towels ( not initially provided. Seems like a sanitary issue) we went in the sauna. Very hot! Can dive into the water adjacent to the floating sauna from the roof. Read more

Tips for future travelers

Bring your own towels and something for your feet. We could only stay a short time because we didn’t have flip flops.

On time availability, provide towels, advise appropriate shoes
