Booked a twin and stayed with my mum in a twin room, booked spa treatments and used the sauna and steam room. The staff were exceptionally helpful at reception, sending the room keys to the spa for us so we could go directly to our room after treatments. Larger or more water in the room would be desirable as would sparkling option.
