monte mare

The actual establishment was amazing. While the inside was beautiful and kept extremely clean, I rated this spa averagely due to the customer service. I understand that a language barrier is always something that causes confusion, and delay, but the two women at the front counter didn't treat me as if I were at a spa. I brought in a gift certificate and as soon as they saw that, their expressions/moods changed. Ten people came into the building and were standing in line behind me at one point in time. I was told to stand at the side and wait so that they could be checked in. I was told when making the appointment to show up 15 min early, and was glad I showed up 30 min early because I would have missed my appointment if I followed their instructions. I stood by the counter for 25 min as they struggled to look my reservation up. A little politeness and an occasional smile would go much farther than I think those women understood. All in all I came for a massage (Thai) and got just that. It was wonderful, but my first impression was crushed due to the rudeness of the two women at the front desk. I was hesitant to go upstairs. I don't think I'll ever pay to go back.

Spas are a big draw in Germany. This is a very nice spa. The place is clean and well decorated. Nice way to spend a sunny morning in Germany.

Just spent Sunday afternoon in this beautiful spa, and it definitely has the best sauna garden out of all the many German saunas I have visited. Beautifully laid out with a woodland walk, many quiet shady or sunny areas and lots of levels. Loved the "vineyard area"!The whole complex is spotlessly maintained, with plenty of variety of saunas and treatments although the "Aufgass menu" was a bit limited the day we visited, however this maybe different on other days.The food in the garden restaurant was delicious and beautifully presented, good value for money. Admission to the sauna between 20 euro & 28 euro for a day passWill definitely be returning and trying some of the other locations this company has in the region.

Monte Mare is the best complex in Kaiserslautern ! We really enjoy ,relax,and fun !Super service,very clean ,food excellent !Me ,my son and my wife were very happy !Thank you very much MONTE MARE TEAM and the manager Mr.Samuelsen ! DANKE !

If you are willing to 'Dare to Bare', you'll have a very relaxing time in this excellent local spa. It's clean, reasonably priced, and offers many options in saunas, pools, rest areas, steam rooms, etc. They also offer a very nice lunch menu. Take your beach towel, a robe, and I take a water bottle.

A little more expensive than the local outdoor pools, but very nice for a rainy or cool day. There is something for everyone. They have a few different pool areas indoors and a nice outdoor area. I haven't tried the spa here yet but it also looked very nice.

This is a very enjoyable place to visit, but a bit expensive. Food inside was pretty reasonable, but you will not be permitted to bring food in. We went for a birthday. The staff check with us to verify the time we wanted the food we ordered, and it arrived 2.5 hours later which was exactly on time. I like that when you arrive, they give you an electronic token, which is what you use to enter/exit, lock you locker and even order you food. It keeps track and you settle the bill at the end. The price is a little steep, but I will visit again.

My 3 and 5 year old girls loved this place from the non-swimmers pools (one inside and one outside) to the wave pool with a nice gradually descending entry to the blackout water slide. It was not busy at all at the end of July, so no wait times for the slides and plenty of room in all the pools, water nooks and lounge chairs. We spent 3 hours there and afterwards decided to eat at the Burger King about 500m away. Great time and really relaxing for the parents because our children are swimmers.

We had three adults and two kids go today. It was 30€ for the adults for 3 hours. The kids were under 12, so they got in free. The woman working st the front counter didnt speak very good English, so we were confused on the process. We found the lockers and they were easy to figure out. Put your chip in and you can remove the bracelet. This will lock the door. But we weren't for sure how to get to the pool. We finally found it. The indoor pool was okay size. Nothing too large. There were two seperate ones inside. They had the waves that would come through.We all enjoyed the water slides. There is one that you can take a tube down or go without. We all thought it was faster going down with the tube. The dark tunnel tube was very slow. My friend and I figured out if we went on our stomach that we went faster. Just be prepared to go up a lot of steps!It is 3 flights to get to the first tunnel and another flight to get to the dark tunnel.You can swim through to get outside. It is not very large pool, but was fun. There is a spout that sprays out water. There were also two kid areas, one inside and one outdoors.They also have food and drinks for sale. We got three adult beverage for around 10 €. We didnt try the food. The building is very nice inside and was very clean. We didn't try the sauna or the clothes free area.

The sauna park and swimming pools are very relaxing. The sauna park is "textilfrei" (no cloths). Bathing suits are worn on the swimming pool side. Like most sauna parks in Germany you pay for your admission at the front counter. They use a chip system which is inserted into a coin machine and you pass through the turnstyle. That is when the time starts. You change in a small booth with doors that open on both sides. You put your cloths in a locker, insert your coin in a bracelet attached to the locker. Remove the bracelet and the locker is secured. You can I pay for 2, 3, 4 hour or a day pass. The fruhstatt which is available Mon - Friday between the hours of 9 am and 2 pm. is the lowest cost package. This discount package costs 13.50 euros and gives you full access to both sides of the facility for 4 hours between 9 am and 2 pm. They offer free aqua exercise classes. They have some pretty cool tub slides but they are not open this time of year. I took my own towel and robe but you can also rent these items. They have a nice German breakfast buffet for 8.50 euros from 9am - 12 pm or you can order off the menu. The salads look nice but I did not eat at the restaurant. I brought in a big bottle of water, orange juice and assorted snack to hold me over til lunch.Overall, it was a very relaxing and refreshing way to spend 4 hours. The only down side was that it was too cold to lay outside and the water is not from a natural Thermal spring so there is no mineral benefits. I will definitely go back again. Wonderful way to spend a morning.

The best swimming facility in this area in my opinion. Water slides, hot tubs, wave machines etc etc...Only downside is the cafe is rather expensive, best bet is to pack your own food and take it with you, I saw many others doing it and no one seemed to mind (don't quote me on that though)!It can get really busy at times, and if screaming kids and teenagers isn't your thing, you may not be too happy with the swimming area. There is however a health spa and relaxation areas there as well (though I have never used them so cannot comment).

Germans' attitude to work carries over into one of their favorite ways to relax and have fun - EFFICIENCY IS ABSOLUTE. Monte Mare offers two areas with very seperate foci: the swimming area (large fun pool, two large sport pools and smaller children's pool) and the Spa. The majority of our visits were to the spa where we enjoyed hours of relaxing in the steam rooms, dry saunas, aroma infused saunas, swimming areas and resting oasis "textil frei" (nude).They offer two restaurants (one for each of the "areas") that offer standard fare (sausages, french fries, salads, etc for the "family area" and health themed meals in the spa area). Prices are average for similar attractions.

I am from Orlando and I have to admit...I was in this place acting like a kid! One of my friends had her daughters B-day party here and I swear no one sat down for four hours!!! It was GREAT! I took my 2yr old and 4yr old and by the end of the day my 4yr old was going on the slides by himself! My 2yr old was going on the slides with any available person...LOL!!! I totally reccomend this place. Staff was nice...dont speak that much of English but they did ok for the most part!

This is a really nice spa and a great way to spend the day. Just, if you're not German, you might want to know the following.1. Bring your own robes and towels if you can, because the deposit (pfand) is outrageous (50 Euro per bathrobe, about 20 Euro per towel). 2. Ask to be shown how to navigate the locker rooms and use the weird chip-based payment system. There are multilingual staff here, shouldn't be hard to find someone to walk you through their quirky procedures.3. Unlike a Korean or other Asian spa it is a mixed-sex nude environment that has some overtones of a nudist resort or beach -- meaning that there's huge outdoor area where in warm weather you can basically eat, drink, walk around and do whatever you like naked. Took me a bit of getting used to -- it's a lot of jiggly flesh to behold. But no one wears bathing suits, so don't bother.. 4. A number of people seem to feel that once they've put a towel down on a lounge chair or hammock, they own it. This seems to be the unspoken law of all German resorts. The enlightened staff, however, does not feel this way and will remove towels and belongings from long-vacated chairs so others can use them. However, if you are the beneficiary of a staff decision to remove stuff from a previously occupied chair/hammock/etc., you can expect to be gruffly confronted by middle aged naked people hovering menacingly over you, demanding answers. This happened to us, and to another couple. Refer the fuming nudists to staff -- if you lack language skills, point to nearest staff member and hope for the best. Not sure why Monte Mare does not solve this simple problem with a sign saying "chairs vacated for 10 min or longer will be cleared." Maybe the drama is part of the fun. 4. Good massages in really nice massage rooms.. not cheap, but good. The food is good too.

Grundsätzlich gibt es bei dieser Saunalandschaft keine großen Mängel. Vor dem Hintergrund des sehr überdurchschnittlichen Eintrittspreises ist meine Gesamtbewertung leider nur "Durchschnitt".Sehr gut gefallen hat mir die Anzahl und Ausgestaltung der Ruheräume. Hier spürt man das Quäntchen "mehr Luxus". Der Außenbereich ist ebenfalls schön gestaltet und die Auswahl an verschiedenen Saunen ist gut.Allerdings fehlt mir das gewisse mehr an Service, das bei (günstigeren) Wettbewerbern geboten wird. Zum Beispiel das Anbieten eines Getränks, Snacks, Obstteller, ... Da die Saunen bei den Aufgüssen sehr überfüllt waren und einige Gäste keinen Platz gefunden haben, hätte ich erwartet, dass, neben dem höflichen Hinweis: leider alle Plätze belegt, sogleich ein weiterer Aufguss angeboten wird - auch das ist anderswo Standard.Desweiteren sind mir negativ in Erinnerung geblieben:- Die Duschen im Außenbereich waren für meinen Geschmack viel zu kalt.- Besucht man die Sauna am späten Abend, muss man auch für das Spaßbad mitbezahlen (Eintritt Sauna alleine nicht möglich), kann es allerdings nicht nutzen, weil schon geschlossen.- An manchen Abenden (Lange Saunanacht) wird damit geworben: "...wir schenken Ihnen 2 Stunden... ". Reist man in der Hoffnung an, der Besuch würde deshalb günstiger, wird man enttäuscht. Bei der "Langen Saunanacht" ist lediglich die Anlage zwei Stunden länger geöffnet als üblich. Man muss für diese zwei Stunden ganz regulär bezahlen.
