It all depends on what your body needs.

Are you more of a daytime soak or an evening soak person?
Watching the clouds drift by, soaking up the sunshine, and taking in the lake views? ⛅
Or sinking into warm mineral waters beneath a sky full of stars? 🌌
Whichever you choose, you can enjoy both. With pools open until 11pm, there's plenty of time to soak your way; whether that's watching early morning steam unfurl on Sulphur Bay, under the afternoon sun or beneath the evening sky.
Turns out, Thursday is a perfectly good excuse too. 😉
