The timeshare resort is a Thallasotherapy Spa which specializes in "seawater cures." From algae and mud wraps, massages, to the aquagym, the program is tailored to each individual's needs. One guest in each unit, must take part in the regime, but it is well worth it!

After a week at the Thalacap, you come out refreshed and invigorated. Although the program may cut into time seeing other sights in the area, if you have a car, anything is possible. During our stay, we planned trips around the spa schedule to Carcassonne (amazing !), Perpignan, Camargue, and even one day went to Andorra (in the Pyrenees).

Finally, the resort sports a very nice restaurant with an excellent breakfast buffet.

On arrival you receive a physical examination and the spa doctor discusses with you the type of "treatment" or "cure" you will receive. If you are recovering from a specific illness or injury you may want to include that information as there are quite a variety of different treatments available. Mine was "vitality and anti-stress" and consisted of a series of 4 or 5 treatments a day for 5 days.

The treatments take about 3 hours but you can continue the your entire day utilizing the additional facilities provided at the spa. I won't bore you with the details of the treatments (they were great!!)but will tell you that everyone receiving "treatment" is issued a lovely,fluffly robe,aquatic slippers, bathing cap and carryall bag on arrival. You wear a bathing suit under your robe for "communal" treatments(the most people in mine were 4). But there are several individual treatments in private rooms where removal of bathing suit is expected. The treatment rooms are immaculate and inviting,although they tend to have somewhat of a "hospital"feel to them. It is important to understand that this is a "health"treatment center rather than a beauty spa. While many beauty type treatments can be provided (pedicures, manicures,waxings,etc...) they are not the primary focus. Treatments that I received included; whirlpool and jet massage with sea water;exercise with weights in large pool;individualized exercise with jets in large pool;complete body massage;seaweed wrap, individual jet therapy with attendant;sea algae treatment;lap swimming;breathing exercises. The treatments were done on a rotating basis and each set took 3 hours per day. There were other facilities available such as spa, sauna,indoor and outdoor seawater pools. There were other treatments provided that i did not recieve but sounded great. A gift shop with various thallasotherapy products, hair salon, nail salon, facials,etc...must be reserved in advance. The schedule allowed plenty of time for sightseeing in nearby towns. Meals served in the restaurant were delineated by "weight control",etc...Service providers were all licensed and many were "over-qualified" for their position. They were not used to seeing many Americans but were solicitious and friendly and enjoyed opportunities to practice their English.
