A
Disheartening
Downfall
at
Alpentherme
Leukerbad
I
am
saddened
to
share
my
recent
experience
at
Alpentherme
Leukerbad,
a
spa
once
held
in
high
regard
and
thoroughly
enjoyed
by
many,
including
myself.
The
purpose
of
this
review
is
not
to
tarnish
the
establishment's
reputation,
but
rather
to
shed
light
on
the
current
situation
and
inspire
improvement.
Upon
arrival,
it
quickly
became
apparent
that
the
facility
had
fallen
into
disrepair,
giving
off
a
sense
of
neglect
and
abandonment.
Various
sections
featured
duct
tape
as
a
temporary
fix,
and
the
ceiling
in
the
entrance
resembled
a
construction
site.
A
closer
inspection
revealed
messiness
behind
doors
and
the
overall
lack
of
maintenance
throughout
the
facility.
Compounding
the
issues,
the
facility
only
accepted
cash
for
payment,
which
stands
out
as
quite
unusual
and
suspicious
in
today's
increasingly
digital
world.
Cleanliness
was
also
lacking
in
the
changing
rooms
and
showers,
which
made
using
these
fundamental
amenities
quite
unpleasant.
The
pool
area,
which
should
have
been
a
haven
of
relaxation,
was
far
from
the
calming
experience
one
anticipates
at
a
spa.
The
space
was
notably
crowded,
and
several
guests
displayed
poor
etiquette,
such
as
speaking
loudly,
not
showering
before
entering
the
pool,
and
using
mobile
phones
excessively.
Some
jets
in
the
pool
were
not
functioning
properly,
the
water
temperature
seemed
not
as
warm
as
advertised.
Additionally,
the
strange
buoys
in
the
pool
were
far
from
ergonomic
and
proved
to
be
uncomfortable
and
useless.
It
would
have
been
more
reasonable
to
remove
the
uncomfortable
buoyens
instead
of
discontinuing
the
free
shampoo
that
was
still
available
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
Security:
The
alarm
button
in
the
pool
area
has
been
reduced
to
just
a
hole
with
exposed
cables.
One
can
only
hope
that
no
one
will
ever
need
to
urgently
call
for
assistance
while
outdoors!
In
summary,
my
recent
visit
to
Alpentherme
Leukerbad
was
a
massive
disappointment,
especially
considering
how
much
I
used
to
enjoy
this
place.
The
neglect,
lack
of
maintenance,
and
apparent
disregard
for
customer
satisfaction,
combined
with
the
decline
in
the
relaxing
atmosphere,
make
it
difficult
for
me
to
recommend
this
facility
to
anyone
in
its
current
state.
As
a
popular
tourist
destination,
Alpentherme
Leukerbad
should
represent
the
core
values
of
Switzerland,
and
as
a
Swiss
citizen,
I
feel
genuinely
sorry
and
embarrassed
by
the
current
state
of
this
establishment.
I
sincerely
hope
that
my
review
serves
as
a
wake-up
call
for
Alpentherme
Leukerbad,
encouraging
them
to
address
these
issues
and
restore
the
facility
to
its
former
glory,
thereby
reflecting
the
true
spirit
of
Swiss
hospitality
and
quality.
