| After a long break from the scene, we decided to take the plunge (and by the way, the plunge pool was lovely!) and visited Rio's last night (Tuesday). Entrance fee was higher than expected, £32 for a couple, but couldn't fault the facilities and the staff, all of whom were really friendly and welcoming. Both steam rooms we used were some of the best we've been in, and lovely jacuzzi too. There were probably about 3 other couples in there, from about 7.30pm. Slightly put off relaxing at first by the few stalkers who wouldn't leave us alone, following us around and blatantly asking if we swing, despite giving no signals, one who also reached out to A(her) in the jacuzzi uninvited, but after bumping into an old friend who is a regular there, we followed his good advice to not let them ruin our experience, and not let their agenda ruin our plans. Actually then ended up humouring them, and having some good conversations with others and they eventually got the hint to leave us alone. Was as busy as we would have wanted it to be, if there were many more there, which we are told there are at the weekends, there wouldn't be the space to just be in selected company. Whole place was very clean too. Ended up rounding off the evening with some great fun as well, so the entrance fee was even more worth it!
