点评:The facilities and grounds at Balnea are immaculate—and have only gotten nicer with time. Balnea is hands down unchallenged and unparalleled as the nicest spa that I’ve ever been to.
Over the past 1.5 years or so, there has been a distinct, profound change in culture—in the vibe—of Balnea. A once tranquil, incredibly quiet and relaxing atmosphere has become, well, what I call a party spa.
There is open and unabashed drinking in the hot tubs, lots of talking at full volume (not whispering) throughout the facilities, groups joking and laughing and hanging out, couples not aware that Balnea is a Scandinavian spa and not a libertine club.
And staff seem ok with all of this, as they do not patrol and hush as they once did—which leads me to assume they are ok with all of this.
And no judgement at all. A party spa is fun when that’s what you want.
The Balnea vibe leans toward part and away from tranquil. It is different than it was and anyone coming should be aware of that.
Balnea is not the Balnea of times past. And this past trip very well may be my last. I’m too old for a party spa—which, I suppose, is my own doing.
翻译:Balnea 的设施和场地一尘不染,而且随着时间的推移愈发精致。Balnea 毫无疑问是我去过的最棒的水疗中心,无可争议,也无与伦比。
在过去一年半左右的时间里,Balnea 的文化——氛围——发生了显著而深刻的变化。曾经宁静祥和、令人无比放松的氛围,如今却变成了我所说的派对水疗中心。
在热水浴缸里,人们可以肆无忌惮地畅饮;在水疗中心里,人们大声交谈(而不是窃窃私语);成群结队地开玩笑、嬉笑、闲逛;情侣们甚至不知道 Balnea 是一家斯堪的纳维亚水疗中心,而不是一家放荡俱乐部。
工作人员似乎对这一切都很满意,因为他们不再像以前那样巡逻和保持安静——这让我觉得他们也接受了这一切。
而且完全没有评判。派对水疗中心的乐趣在于你想要的那种感觉。
巴尔尼亚的氛围偏向偏僻,远离宁静。它与以往大相径庭,任何来过的人都应该意识到这一点。
巴尔尼亚已今非昔比。而这次旅行很可能是我最后一次了。我年纪太大,不适合去派对水疗中心了——我想,这也是我自己的错。
