What people are saying about Quebec City

We went with our family of five (all over 21 years old) and had an amazing time! We went in without any expectations and were very pleasantly surprised at all there was to do! Due to another obligation, we only stayed two hours but could have spent much more time and actually missed a few venues. Facility was clean and organized. Experience was above and beyond! Pointers: bring flip flops or sandals to wear from space to space and colored clips (or safety pin with bead) to clip to your robe and towel to identify them from all the others.

This was an experience like no other. It was therapeutic, relaxing, rejuvenating and intense. We had such an amazing experience here learning the ways of the spa and participating in each level of water therapy. We then ate at the bistro in our robes and had a drink. The food was delicious and drinks to die for. I would recommend this spa 10x over.

Such a fun, relaxing and amazing experience- my husband, daughter and I loved it. The place is enormous so you never felt too crowded around others and were able to truly relax. Beautiful setting on the river and was so peaceful and calm.

An amazing experience! It has a nice restaurant on site that had amazing food. It's a silent experience with many silent areas so it's good to keep that in mind!

Lovely experience I would bring a bottle of water just in case you spend too much time in the thermal baths
