I had a lavender body wrap with scalp massage, the treatment was great, the hour fifteen went by too quick, not enough time wrapped up and relaxing!

The mineral pool is awesomely relaxing. Tapa restaurant upstairs (where you can lounge in your swimwear and cozy bathrobe by several fireplaces) has excellent food. Spa manager, Paulina, is a treasure. More

For an enjoyable afternoon with your sweetheart, relax in the mineral pool at the Grotto. Although there is not enough room to swim lengths, there is a little waterfall to move under, a cold shower, and relaxing hottub. After your time together in the water, you can have a massage or go upstairs to a lovely room and have tea... More
