First time visiting dr Wilkinson and had a pretty good experience. The mineral pools were nice but I was kind of expecting something different, something more. The room was great, but the bed not so much. It was really hard and woke up stiff both day. Found it hard to sleep soundly through the night. Kind of defeated the purpose of a relaxing stay when you can’t sleep and wake up in pain. But it would fade away once in the waters. Food was great, however there’s not much options around if you want something different. Overall it was a good experience, would consider coming back. Maybe.
