Some departures add Zakopane and a funicular ride to Gubalowka. English-speaking drivers such as Jacob and Michal provide pickup, wristbands, and practical tips.
“What a fantastic place! The spa is ran incredibly well and very smooth. You have a wrist band when you enter which is for your locker, you then pay for drinks and food with the wristband and pay at the end so no need for you to take anything in the spa. Make sure you explore everywhere as there are so many different pools and jacuzzis. The changing area is fantastic, easy to get a locker and lots of cubicles to change. Make sure you take flip flops as the floor is rough to stop slipping. We visited on an evening, be aware the food outlets in reception shut early.…”
