    This is my first mud bath experience and it was super fun. 20 minutes as such is pretty short to thoroughly enjoy the experience but we did spend some time in the warm pool after our mud bath. Facility was clean and there were sufficient shower rooms. Everything was as listed.

  • Good past time in Rotorua
