Popular spa next to the Bosbaan in Amsterdam. The location is modern, spacious and tidy. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Compared to other wellness resorts:

- in a positive way:
the fireplace sauna (fireplace with real logs), the large hot tub (good support for neck and body), the cold showers and cold plunge pools (really good cold), the 40 mtr indoor / outdoor swimming pool and the steam aromatic oils and fortunately a bit warmer than the indicated 45 degrees).
Also very nice are the cool air-conditioned changing rooms. A relief compared to the soggy sweathouses of some other saunas.

- in a negative sense:
the hot showers at the entrance (partly defective, many empty soap containers), the lounging areas with bubbles on the sides of the outdoor pool (bad neck support) and especially the restaurant. Food and drinks are (even for sauna standards) too expensive and of poor quality.

Note: parking is now (2016) still free. But the municipality seems to have evil plans ... check this carefully. You can also park on the site of Zuiver. Day ticket 10 euros.
