My stay had a mix of positive and negative experiences. The service in terms of helpful staff was great, especially from the restaurant team, but the spa treatment left a lot to be desired with significant issues around the quality. The atmosphere was lively, and the mineral pools were enjoyable, but I encountered some major frustrations with the room readiness and billing errors. Overall, it felt like I got decent value for my money, but there were noticeable areas for improvement.

My experience at Dr. Wilkinson's was delightful with an overall friendly vibe and a strong focus on customer care. The mineral pools were a highlight, offering a relaxing environment but I did notice some areas need maintenance attention. The rooms were clean and stylish, which contributed positively to the experience. However, the food options could have been better, and the noise levels from neighboring areas were a bit disruptive. Overall, a solid choice for a wellness getaway.
