I have set a relatively low price for this because it is such a broad
question - however if you find a place I like I will tip very
generously. If I end up going there, I will tip outrageously.

Criteria you MUST worry about:

- Inexpensive full body massage 
- Some kind of thermal springs or spas available
- Not Budapest, as I have already been there a few times

Criteria you do NOT need to worry about:

- No country preferences
- Airfares (ie how much it costs to get there) 

Criteria I would PREFER:

- Eastern Europe is the obvious place that comes to mind
- segregated sex spas/hot springs where you dont have to wear a swimsuit 
- a nice place for other activities - ie there is more to do than soak
(if there is skiing, that would be amazing)

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 14 May 2005 18:43 PDT

Hello dude_nznz-ga,

What is your price range? What do you mean by "Inexpensive full body
massage"? Can you tell me where you went in Budapest and how satisfied
you were with it so I can use your experiences there as a baseline for
this research? I look forward to your clarification.

Many thanks wwwmmm-ga - Im going to make the trip there next week
after your excellent advice. Any tips on where to stay? Thanks for
your great advice. I just thought it would be nice to go somewhere
besides Budapest (although its great).

Hi,
I recommend you Eger.
I've been going there myself at least once a year for the last 10
years and I enjoy it very much.

Eger is a beautiful historic city in northern part of Hungary. There
are medicinal hot springs in the city itself as well as in close
neighbourhood. There have been significant investments done in the
city tourist infrastructure over the last couple of years, so you may
expect most of the facilities be pretty new.
There are some historical buildings in the city (a castle, minaret),
entertainment district called "valley of beautiful women" consisting
mostly of old wine cellars.

however if you like skiing, choose Slovakia; there is a number of
places with hot springs in mountains, very nice as well.
