Rosenalp - Gesundheitsresort & Spa

Stayed at the Rosenalp for a wonderful 7 days on my own (solo male). Was made very welcome and shown around the hotel and spa on arrival and explained the Schroth Cure I had signed up for. First evening I was shown to a table and explained this was my table for the week. Unfortunately shared with a loved up German couple who spoke no English and I, not speaking any German, all exchanged panicked glances. I requested a solo table and after a movie scene from Ratatouille about "what's new", I got shown to another table on my own. Other solo people I think had also requested the same. There were a few of us. The food I have to say was tasty and imaginiative and served in a seperate restaurant to those not on a deto/weight loss or restricted diet. I never felt too hungry and the fruit herbal tea bar was available to stave off any cravings. First morning was a full checkup from the docs with bloods taken and a consultation on any health problems. Then an hour with the physiotherapist. Not having anything to discuss I had an hour massage- bliss. The rooms are modern and clean with beautiful views over the town or hills. The spa is massive with an indoor pool extending to the outside. Lovely and warm every time and never crowded and no screaming kids. Plenty of outdoor loungers and tables if you get there in the sunny weather. Treatments were professional and never rushed. Location is on the edge of Oberstaufen and a few minutes walk to the centre and also to the start of some amazing but gentle 5 to 10km hill walks. As a solo traveller sometimes you feel awkward in a hotel full of couples and families. This is not the case at the Rosenalp. If you want to converse with people you can. Or if you are happy to sit with a book and a glass of wine and not speak to anyone then you'll not be alone. All the staff spoke English which was a plus. Can't recommend the Rosenalp enough. Just have to put on some weight and use this as an excuse to go back and lose it.
