My favorite feature is the Roman baths in the balneario next door. These are 20 private rooms with whirlpools that rent for by the hour. The natural mineral waters are piped into the marble whirlpool tubs that could hold six, in a sort of decadently elegant rooms with Italian statues. You and a friend can share an hour of undisturbed bliss. There are two cots and a bathroom with a bidet.
Classical music plays over speakers in the room.
These rooms are available to the public, and you can rent one a la carte. For some people Ixtapan is too classic. The clientele may be a bit elderly for a visitor in their forties or fifties. All services are available on an a la carte basis for reasonable prices. The spa dining room serves a spa menu, limited to 900 calories.
