Hi,
I m looking forward to come to the Spa and I want to know some info:
-about the •Thermal Massage 20 minutes & Bath Ticket & Cabin (package including 3 services: massage, bath ticket & Private Cabin): €45, how it works?
– I must do before the massage and then the bath or I can do before the bath and after that the massage?
– I read that you should arrive one hour before the massage, if I want to go before to the swimming pool and then to do the massage is it ok?
– with the bath ticket is it possible to go to the open spa and also to the cover spa, right?
Thank you,
Julia
Hello Julia,
thank you for your interest.
Yes, you can use the pools before and after the massage. You enjoy all the outdoor and indoor facilities with your ticket. You can arrive anytime after 9 am/
Using the pools before the massage is all the more recommended as it relaxes the muscles, and increases the efficiency of the treatment.
Hope we can welcome you at Gellert Spa!
