Hi, we are thinking of going to one of these during the week (Tuesday or wednesdays) and wondered which was better? We aren’t overly concerned about ‘play’ just in terms of feeling relaxed etc, can anyone give any advance on both.
Thanks

If anyone reads your message and then recommends Rios, you need to block them immediately as they're trying to ruin your day!
BGHS 100%
No play in the spa area, only in the playrooms. But it's one of the best spas in a swinging/naturist facility we've ever seen. |

Seriously 
Thanks for the feedback. We are edging towards BGHS tbh as it’s closer to us.

Bristol gardens, definitely better, but strict, no touching, rules in the lounge area, (so as not to encourage wanky men).
Beware, the pool is freezing, but nice, after a hot jacuzzi. They do nice food, beverages, massage. It’s on four floors. Amazing decor.
Rios seems a lot tackier in comparison, and people can wear costumes, eww. They do have free beverages, and again, the pool is cold, but they have four jacuzzis.

I have not been to Rios... been to BGHS a few times now, only during the day and it’s very uncomfortable as a female to be virtually followed around everywhere by 8-10 males, even as part of a couple... I feel safe as the staff are very hot on no play/wanking on the spa areas and they are always around but it really is unpleasant not to be able to enjoy the facilities because someone comes into the steam rooms/saunas/jacuzzis and sits within a couple of inches without saying a word. The only way I’ve been able to get some respite is to lock myself (and the person I’m with) in the lockable restrooms which by the way are a bit small. Not bern to the bigger restrooms...
I want to go sometime during the evening or a weekend where I have heard it’s a completely different experience... |

Thank you! Maybe we should go in the evening too. X |

Only been to bghs, it's excellent.
If you get pestered by any man ask them to back off, if they don't then speak to the staff. They take a dim view of men acting annoyingly.
Weekend evenings are couples only, so we go during the day to enjoy the spa then use the facilities upstairs once all the singles leave at 6 |

BGHS or Rios, we have been to both. BGHS is champagne whereas as Rios is beer.
Both have their good points and bad points, BGHS wins though by a long distance, it is a more relaxing experience there. |

Could try Silverleigh, nr Brands Hatch. Naturist, swinging not encouraged but they do have a couple of rest rooms, or book one of their rooms. Very friendly and the guys won't follow you around if you make it clear. |

But if you are with the people you want to be with it’s ok.
We will be going to BGHS very soon to drink a nicer drink. |

Suggest book a room as the rest rooms are very poor and uncomfortable. |

We don’t drive, if we could get to silverleigh, we could get to eurekas lol (plus also I can throw a visit in to the parentals as they live down the road  )
Thank you though x |

"Why not try both? All answers are subjective and depend on what you want, the particular visit and who you bump into. I Love them both"
Haha why not?! |

Sorry to hear about your BGHS experience. Definitely can recommend either weekend evening as it's couples only after 5.30.
Strongly suggest never setting foot in Rio's (except for Saturday evenings) as the single guy behaviour is ten times worse! |

"shame Rios has such a bad rep....its very close to us travel wise 
Especially as the facilities are generally fine. Just a shame about the behaviour and attitudes of some of the people."
Exactly.
Not sure about Saturday couples night.
We might try and go soon. |

It gets bad press in some qtrs. The feedback on here however is more positive than negative and going as a single bloke or a couple I have never seen or experienced any really bad behaviour, just occasional irritating stuff.
Its good beer accepting that beer isn't to everyones tastes. Personally champagne gives me wind x |

Plus the “rest rooms” are awful. |

Yes, agreed. I was more meaning the spa facilities. |

Couples night is usually pretty good behaviour-wise in my experience. Certainly a LOT better than Friday evenings or the wee hours of Sunday mornings when the desparate grunts, hoping many couples are still there, are allowed back in. |

More to the point, Rio's is lukewarm piss. BGHS any day over Rio's! |
