It's one thing to know that they are naturally heated, but to experience it is a different thing altogether. I went into the pools myself and it was so hot that I had to get out of it within 15 minutes. I remember how soothing it was while I was in there. I also like that they have a host of spa services. I remember when it was a "brand new" service when they introduced hot stone massages. It's the "in" thing now, but back nearly 20 years ago, for some reason it was "new." As far as your tips, I am in agreement. May I add that when I went, I made sure to lock up all of my things ahead of time in the safety deposit box. You can't trust the lockers they have there: Even if they're all locked up, there are always people looming around looking for that inept tourist to make a small mistake like not closing up their locker right away.

Brian, I don't know why, but I just know everybody raves about the radioactive mud. I certainly felt refreshed after my day there but it could have just been the water ...
