Perfekte Entspannung
Die Deluxe Buchung hat sich gelohnt! Wir waren fast alleine in den Becken, die sehr gepflegt und wunderbar entspannend wirkten. In wunderschöner Natur mit bezaubernden Ausblicken - einfach perfekt.

It's not worth the money
Unter deluxe spa verstehe ich etwas anderes. Wir waren nicht wirklich glücklich mit unserem Aufenthalt. Die Anlage ist ziemlich veraltet. Zwischen den sehr kleinen pools lag ein alter Kaffeebecher herum und eine Stange eines Geländers. Drei Kinder tobten zwei Stunden lang im 3 min-Takt durch alle Pools Es war nicht entspannend. Schade!
From Polynesian Spa - Deluxe Lake Spa
Thank you for the feedback. Our facilities date back to the 1800s which is when the first pools were built for people to come take the healing waters of the region, and our site is heritage protected. We have been on the site for 52 years as Polynesian Spa. It is an iconic and important historic site with some of the building elements not able to be changed. We do however update our furniture and amenities to modernise spaces wherever possible. Children are allowed in this area as we have many international visitors who have children with them and wish to visit these pools which are absolute lakeside in location. We apologise that the children ran through any of the pools, they are not supposed to run, jump, dive or bring any toys into this pool area and must be under strict supervision by parents. Our cleaners work throughout the day (24/7) to keep the pools and the facilities clean, apologies if we missed this cup which someone must have taken out to the pools.

Looking forward to it but disappointed
Sorry found the deluxe lake spa quite disappointing. The lounge area comfortable. the changing area ok but not as private as I thought it would be. The pools apart for the one which seems to be rather new are way too shallow and very uncomfortable with a stony bottom and just rocks here and there to sit on. Can't see the point of them really. The new pool by the side of the lake is also spoilt because of all the trees which hide the view of the lake. A visit to the normal pools is far better option with more choice of pools which are far more combatable but the whole area is very pricy. A senior discount which is offered at other pools would be appreciated. Thank you.
From Polynesian Spa - Deluxe Lake Spa
Thanks Christine. We appreciate your feedback. The square-shaped pool in the Deluxe area is an acidic Priest Springwater pool. It is a later edition to the area alongside the cold plunge pool. The other onsen style - designed for lying down, floating or sitting up, are rock pools, all fed with alkaline water from the Rachel Spring. It is a unique dual experience, one treats bones, joints, and muscles the other is for skin rejuvenation. Hopefully you got to enjoy the geothermally heated recliners in the area? You are right about the Pavilion Pool area catering for a deeper swim. Our regulars mostly visit this area for exercise. All other pools (in the Pavilion area) are however also sitting pools. If you were unhappy our duty manager would have moved you into the Pavilion area so that you could enjoy your stay more. We do offer a 20% discount on Pavilion Pools, 60 Minute therapies and Family Pools for all seniors. You booked through Bookme for a Deluxe Lake Spa.

A lovely way to start a rainy day but deluxe?
The weather forecast was shocking so we decided to start our Saturday at the Polynesian Spa. We had previously visited Hamner and really enjoyed it. If you're prepared to label a product as 'delux' you need to confident in what you're selling. This was a pleasant experience and a lovely way to spend a rainy morning. However, the whole place needs updating, it's all a little tired and rough around the edges.

Gut
Recht entspannend, da in der Nebensaison. Verschiedene Pool Areals für Familien, Pärchen, normale und Deluxe. Kleiner Hinweis zu Massagen wäre toll gewesen. Gibt's wohl auch...
