点评:Carden Park Spa – Twilight Package
I’ve been wanting to visit Carden Park Spa for a while, so when I got the chance to go with work, I was really looking forward to it. It was £138 per person for the Twilight Package, which included use of the spa but no treatment, canapes and one drink each.
The spa itself and the grounds are absolutely beautiful, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the facilities. There are buttons in the pods and around the pools/hot tubs that you can press if you want to order a drink, which I thought was a really nice touch. The staff were also lovely and friendly throughout our visit.
Unfortunately, for me, the biggest downside was how overcrowded it was. The smaller hot tubs in particular were very busy, with 8+ people squeezed into them, which made it difficult to relax and actually enjoy the facilities, we didn’t even go to the others it was so full. With so many people there, I didn’t feel like we were able to properly utilise everything included in the package or get our money’s worth.
There was also a drink included, but as I wasn’t drinking alcohol, I wasn’t offered a non-alcoholic alternative and had to have apple soda instead. I would have expected a proper alcohol-free option to be available, especially at this price point, I did get one seperate which was £8.50 and was lovely, the others had a bottle of pink Bollinger 2 enjoyed one couldn’t drink the first drinks as it wasn’t to her taste.
There were some canapés served during the evening. I tried the prawn tempura, which was lovely, and a small piece of chicken, although the chicken was extremely small — not even half a mouthful. The passionfruit dessert was also really nice.
There was a DJ playing throughout the evening. You couldn’t really hear the music from the hot tubs, although it became louder during the last hour or so.
Overall, Carden Park itself is a beautiful place and I’m glad I finally got to experience it. I would definitely go back for a more relaxed spa day, but personally I wouldn’t choose to attend another event there. At £138 per person, I felt it was too busy to properly enjoy the facilities and get the full value from the experience and other guest’s commented the same.
The staff and setting were lovely, they have good grounds and the changing area is great you can dry your hair and straighten, dry costumes and bikini, you get a robe bag and flip flops and they sell creams etc. I just think the number of people made a big difference to the experience.
翻译:Carden Park水疗中心——暮光套餐
我一直都想去Carden Park水疗中心,所以当有机会因工作原因前往时,我格外期待。暮光套餐的费用为每人138英镑,包含水疗设施的使用权,但不包含任何护理服务;此外还提供小吃和每人一杯饮料。
水疗中心及其周边环境美不胜收,看得出他们在设施打造上倾注了大量心血。在各个小屋以及泳池/温泉池周围都设有按钮,如果想点饮品的话就可以按下这些按钮,我觉得这个设计真是贴心又不错。在我们逗留期间,工作人员也一直热情友善。
不过对我来说,最糟糕的一点就是人实在太多、太拥挤了。尤其是那些较小的温泉池,挤满了8个人以上,根本让人无法放松身心、好好享受设施带来的乐趣。由于人太多,我们甚至都没去其他池子。由于现场人太多,我觉得我们没能充分利用套餐里提供的各项服务,也没能物有所值。
套餐里还包含一杯饮品,但由于我不喝酒,店家并没有提供无酒精的替代品,我只能喝苹果汽水。以这个价格来说,我本以为应该会有合适的无酒精饮品可选的。后来我另外点了一杯,价格是8.50英镑,味道很不错。其他人有一瓶粉红色的 Bollinger 香槟,有两人喝了一口,还有一人因为不合口味而没喝。
当晚还提供了一些开胃小食。我尝了炸虾天妇罗,味道很不错;还吃了一小块鸡肉,不过那块鸡肉实在太小了——甚至不够塞满一嘴。百香果甜点也同样非常美味。
整个晚上都有DJ在播放音乐。不过在热水浴缸旁其实听不太清音乐声。虽然在最后一个小时左右时噪音变得更大了。
总体而言,卡登公园本身是个非常美丽的地方,我很高兴终于有机会亲身体验。我肯定还会再回去享受一次轻松的水疗日,但就个人而言,我不会选择再去参加那里的其他活动。每人138英镑的价格算下来,我觉得现场太过拥挤,根本无法尽情享用各项设施,也得不到物有所值的体验;其他宾客也有类似的反馈。
工作人员和环境都很不错。他们的设施很不错,更衣区也棒极了——你可以在那里吹干头发、做直发造型,还能晾干戏服和比基尼。这里还提供浴袍、袋子以及拖鞋,甚至还出售护肤霜之类的产品。我只是觉得,人数多少对体验感影响很大。
