| I visited Rios for the first time a couple of Sundays ago, staying from about 11.30 am until late lunchtime. My bus to St Pancras stopped outside, and I was feeling a little fragile after a heavyish night before, so it would have been reckless not to check it out for some rest, recuperation and vital re-hydration. (OK, I always feel extra horny when hungover, for some reason). The facilities are very good, with multiple steam rooms, hot tubs and saunas including one really large jacuzzi and a decent-sized pool. It was pretty quiet when I arrived but had filled up by the time I left. It's true there were some of those wordless-but-pushy types that give all solo guys a bad name, but plenty of laid-back and friendly people too and I think that some sensual fun would have ensued had I not had to leave just as it was getting busy to head back to Kent. I kinda like the fact that, aside from us oversexed wrong 'uns, it is used by the local community as a straightforward spa (so isn't *just* a venue for naughtiness) and love the mix and the multicultural atmosphere. I left relaxed and fully recovered so it definitely did the job. Like I said in my recent review of Eureka, I'm really glad this place exists and will go again when I find myself in central London with some 'me' time to spare.
