Clean facilities, lot of space to cruise and nice aufguss. The sauna is equiped over standard with…read morevery nice resting room and smoking facilities. I found it rather more crowded between 17 and 24 during the week and 16 - 02 on the weekend. For negative experiences: I would enjoy coming more often, when I would not find strange items on my receipt every time I check out. Last time i even got receipt where only a beer was correctly accounted. Strangest thing is that I find alcoholic drinks on my receipt (attached) while i hate hard alcohol and only drink beer. And I do not drink Thomas Henry or Jack Daniels at all. I drink juices and soft drinks. To avoid this check your balance regularly during your stay at the bar.

Montag ist gemischter Hetero / Schwuler Tag. Ich habe kein Problem damit…read more Aber ich finde nicht in Ordnung, dass in einer schwulen Sauna, mehrere Stunden lang Schwule Eintrittsverbot in die Dampfsauna bekommen, damit sich da die Heteros austoben. Entweder sollte man da eine Hetero-Party machen, dann lasst uns Schwule nicht rein, oder es ist wirklich gemischt, dann haben wir auch das gleiche Recht wie die Heteros, schliesslich sind sie bei uns in einer schwulen Sauna zu Gast und nicht wir bei ihnen. Der Angestellte am Eingang war sehr ungehalten, als ich mich darüber beschwerte. Er sagte: "So Leute wie dich braucht das Land nicht". Ich empfinde das als Beleidigung und erwarte eine Erklärung von der Geschäftsleitung. Es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn nächstes Mal ein Zaun zwischen Hetero und Schwule aufgerichtet wird. Ich bin schwer enttäuscht über die Phoenix-Sauna, die ich seit dreissig Jahren kennen und die immer sehr gut gewesen war. Schade. Nächstes Mal woanders hin.

December 26/2013: Visit with Jorge/Bea…read more **ALERT** Deceptive pricing strategy!! This is a cool facility but they missed the mark on several different fronts. First the bad info: * There was no real explanation on how everything works. Nothing online & nothing written that we could see. No one took any time to explain any rules or regulations to us either. * By the end of our reservations (2:00-6:00pm), the main pool had become very crowded. They oversold it like many other places. * The other facilities outside of the main pool area were undersized for the crowd size. If you made a mistake & walked into other areas, the bracelet they gave you pick up your signal & charged you an extra fee. Now, the good stuff: * Great changing room facilities. Loads of room where you have your own dedicated locker operated by said bracelet. Great family areas as well. * Cleanliness was solid. Constant cleaning from the on-site crew * Small but decent bar area inside the pool section & man do they charge for drinks. Not sure if I'd do this again. I felt deceived by their strategy & the facility was very pricy. If you choose to go here, be careful of extra charges. It seems they prey on your lack of knowledge. No pics allowed.
