The tour was excellent and well-organized. The bus was clean and punctual. Our guide, Sonia, was fantastic! She provided a detailed explanation of the itinerary and ensured everyone understood the meeting point and return time. During the drive to the salt mine, she shared interesting information about the historic buildings we passed and the city's history. We also requested a favor on the return trip, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. I highly recommend this tour!

Apart from initial misdirection to the meeting point, the trip was comfortable, the driver/guide was knowledgeable, helpful and able to field all questions thrown at him. The mine itself was most impressive and the staff are well trained in moving the maximum number of visitors in the minimum of time. All in all, a very smooth operation.

The food at Galaxy could have been better - the Roamnian cornmeal with cheese and pork was absolutely terrible. Saunas were not worth the extra price.

Beautiful spa as an environment, special for the vegetation and convenient for the proximity to the airport. Unfortunately I paid ticket to use all the areas but we couldn't do the slides because my partner couldn't take off a necklace and they wouldn't let us on so money wasted and not refunded and no information about it even in advance, totems didn't work to order food, few bathrooms and showers without products, music too loud, controlling staff who didn't give you directions. Whirlpools many but they ran on time so with all those people you couldn't use.

The spa is very neat and well controlled. Really spacious and modern. There are minor flaws for which there is room for improvement: unpleasant smell of water towards early afternoon, several cocktails poured into the water by tipsy clients resulting in floating sugar, limes and straws, loungers occupied throughout the day by people not present in the area and therefore impossible to relax on the loungers.

Posto incantevole... Ho prenotato ingresso per intera giornata all inclusive per vivere un'esperienza a 360. Consiglio di visitarle sia di giorno che di notte. l'atmosfera che si crea la sera,grazie ad una vasta illuminazione, rende il tutto ancora più paradisiaco. Unica pecca troppo affollato e file lunghe, Probabilmente perché era Sabato.
