I like the steam room, good for my Asthma, I like all the pools, especially the one with the huge fish ready to impale someone (see picture) !! I chat to anyone who will chat back.... I spend three or four sessions in the steam room during the day, topping up my liquids with mango juice or water. I lie flat out in the main pool area and catch up on the news in the dailiies and monthlies available. At 1 pm I go for for lunch, usually the buffet which is superb. Then I have a kip and then after a shower I go back into the steam room for one last time. I go there early morning and leave about 4 pm, feeling good.

Sometimes I take for granted how relaxing this place really is, that is, until I walk outside and…read moreforget where we've left the car. That's partially to do with me going a bit nuts, but I always leave feeling rested, much lighter and incredibly happy. You don't get ultra modern neon-lit eternity pools, but a place where normal people (the ones that appreciate the nice environment that's been created there) can totally chill out. With a separate changing area for members and non-members, there's always a lot of space, secure lockers and hot showers on the way in. Once you get inside robes and sandals are encouraged as everything is quite spread out. My highlights include the giant tepidarium, containing 33 ceramic loungers heated to approx. 35 degrees to soothe the entire body. Each lounger has its own head phone socket, so you can bring your headphones and relax to your choice of music. There's also two large pool, a 49 seat spa pool with massage jets, a hydrotherapy flotation tank (with over 1.5 tonnes of salt in!) and an aromatherapy steam room. Additional things to consider are a fantastic cafe-style restaurant, where you can lounge about and eat. They do the best salads I've had anywhere outside of my home (I just like fresh ingredients and knowing what's gone into something). And the beauty salon does an exclusive range of body butters/scrubs/bath foams in ever changing varieties. I fell in love with the raspberry milkshake 'flavour' a few years ago, and I haven't been disappointed since. My last purchase was angel cake bath melt (a thick bubbling foam) and hot butter fudge shower gel. Oh my. There are three basic ways to go. One, buy a special experience pass (from £65 for entrance, a treatment and 'light supper', upwards). Second, a spa membership ranging from £9 a month for 3 visits a year up to £30 a month for 12 visits, all on top of a £99 joining fee. Or, a combined membership with the MASSIVE Pulse 8 gym across the way (literally a one minute from the spa). It's about £500 (sheesh) joining fee, then £80ish pounds for full come-any-time-you-like membership to gym and spa, then gets less as you strip away visiting at certain parts of the day. Just like most gyms and spas really. Either way, we joined at Christmas time a few years ago. It was on a special offer with no joining fee and one visit per month for £15. Bargain! It pops up at the same each year and often during Summer. I'd recommend holding out for that, because it's SO worth it.

Sukanya made me feel totally calm, relaxed, and I'd say I found my inner chi, "vital life force." as a result Her expert aof the tensions points and how to treat them proved to be exactly what I (or anyone) needed. Until I was treated I had no awareness of how much that I need this. You can only find out how good this is until you try it.

I hope you find and have the same experience through trying Sukanya massage relaxing studio. Try it I cannot imagine how you would be disappointed.

I had always…read morebeen a bit unsure of the Benefit of a massage, but after a discussion with my doctor, I felt it was time to try. The room is beautiful and a really great atmosphere is created, very relaxing and comfortable. I had a neck and shoulder massage as I have suffered with neck ache for a long time, I can honestly say the results are amazing. Sukanya was very professional and explained what she was doing during the 30 minute appointment. I had booked for an hour, but Sukanya was very fair in telling me maybe that was too much for me due to the condition of my neck and shoulder blades. I'm sure there are many places that just would have stretched out the appointment for an hour and taken the money, I feel that was great customer service! She was honest in telling me it would be painful as the knots in my shoulder and neck were very large. It did hurt during the massage a little, and the next day I felt like I had been at the gym. But following that, it's the best my neck has felt in years, honestly the movement in my neck and general feeing was great, and beyond my expectation. and I have booked my second appointment for next week. Overall, a great and comfortable environment, with a very polite, knowledgable expert. I think many people say they are great at massage, but Sukanya genuinely is. Highly recommended. 5 stars.
