What guests report
★★★★★ 4.5 / 5 (1207 reviews)
“An amazing place to relax and reset yourself. From mud bath to hot and cold plunges, Turkish saunas and hot boxes and more, it has everything you will need to just relax and unwind. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and hospitable. I highly recommend if you are needed to get away from CUENCA and relax for the day. We did a girls day and it was so worth it!!!”
“I got the 54 dollar package and was very happy. It is very well run and professional. It was very clean. The food was good. I was happy I did it.”
“The reason this place won’t get 5 stars is because we paid for a 45 hot stone couples massage and was only massaged for 30 minutes and left the stones on us sitting for 15 solid minutes. I could understand 5 minute tops but 15 minutes feels like a cheat. Also, the food was extremely slow.”

Evidence & context
What research says about cold therapy
Recovery
Reviews of whole-body cold therapy mostly show effects on perceived muscle soreness and recovery after intense exercise. The evidence base is heterogeneous and samples are often small.
Research base
Studies describe short-term effects on pain perception and mobility. Results are inconsistent and robust long-term data is largely missing — a therapeutic benefit is not established.
Limitations
Cold therapy does not replace medical treatment. Effect, dosage and frequency vary individually — pre-existing conditions require medical clearance beforehand.
