1. Sauna - yes, but at least two, better four; with different temperature ranges and smells. A plus: if besides that another external area is present (for cooling). A health-scientific description of correct application should be present additionally. You surely would not like to terminate sauna with a cold, but healthier than before, would you?

2. Solarium – just in case you want a tan additionally. I know people whose energy rose after an attendance in a Solarium. It’s not a must, but good Secret Resorts have.

3. Massage – here chaff separates from wheat. Relaxation starts with a good long intense massage. A hotel, which calls itself 'Wellness', MUST offer massage. Make sure massage is held daily and in house. It would be disturbing, if you would have to drive to another place. That way relaxation of massage treatment would get lost fast.

4. Pools – good Secret Resorts have pools. Ensure that pools are not old. If you find different pools besides that with e.g. different smells, that is a plus – therefore very pleasant and relaxing.

Again, besides all that stuff, everything written here should be in-house! You don’t want to have to drive to a next town or village, do you?

Allright. We have covered a lot.

Look forward to my last issue on how to find awesome German Secret Resorts.

In that you will get to know what another indicator of good Secret Resort is, in terms of our Hotel Classifications.

Finally you will get an overall checklist which you can keep handy. It will safe you a bunch of time, trust me.

Anyhow, enjoy your trip(s)! :o)
