| It had been a while, so we decided once again to visit Rios, the sauna club effectively just down the road from us. For those not in the know, Rio’s has always been a bit of oddity, it advertises itself as both a health spa on the one hand and also on the swinging scene, so for starters you can never really be sure why people are there and a great many go there just to use the facilities. (Which is fair enough) However, owned by the same chain who own many of the gay saunas in London, it knows clearly what it’s main market it is – Single men looking for an easy lay. It can’t pretend any different, otherwise what on earth are the 5 playrooms downstairs and the 6 upstairs for? Saturday is for couples only, but be aware it’s from 7 until 12 midnight, and at 12.01 it’s like the start of the Grand National as around 50 single guys pile through the doors in a record sixty seconds flat.
Upstairs is now only open on the weekends, and the big playroom at the very top has closed forever. The rest of the venue, all on one level, has three Jacuzzis, two saunas, two steam rooms, showers, a smoking garden, relaxation lounge and free soft drinks. There are also two pools, for cooling off. All the play rooms are off the ‘foam mattress, imagine the rest’ variety. Not untypical of many European sauna style clubs of this type.
Having been here several times over 5 years, our experiences have ranged from the mildly amusing (Women trying to recruit the other half as a prostitute while I was in the toilet) to the down right scary. (Having my partner being man-handled in the changing area)
However for the most part, this visit, which was between 11pm and 1.30 am on a Wednesday evening (mixed) was for the most part free of drama. There were around 6 single women in, three or four couples and 25 or so single men. There was a time when you could not go to this club without being followed pillar to post by packs of guys, it seemed for a while that this would be different, however while enjoying the larger Jacuzzi on our own, 5 guys suddenly appeared, surrounded us on all sides and started very unsubtly all moving towards us. ‘Here we go…’ We think they thought we were novices and were going to have a wank fest at our expense, no doubt hoping for more. Obviously they had all spoken beforehand, as they didn’t even casually drift in. For a first time visitor this would have been very unnerving. We wouldn’t have minded so much if they could have at least uttered one or two words of dialogue between them (Not so much as a hello) so we just left, which resulted in a whole load of rather immature whistling and cat calling. Unfortunately this typical behaviour is why many people, including most that we know, don’t go here. However if your experienced swingers, or enjoy the company of single men with limited conversational ability, then no doubt the club could be right up your street. Some of the single females weren’t too friendly either. A simple hello from Mrs Party was met by a rude blank stare, but perhaps that’s just London for you in general.
That all said, the couples we spoke to were friendly, as were the staff all of whom were extremely helpful and we also spoke to a couple of single guys (There for the first time) who were also chatty and polite, so we don’t want to tar everyone with the same brush. Saturdays have been a much more jovial and friendly experience, we just wanted to go there to chill really, after a long days work of compiling a list of 300 German clubs, it really was well needed and Jacuzzi incident aside, we had a pleasant time there relaxing. Some people do look like they live there though, you can go to the club, spot a guy, come back two years later and the same guy will be there.
If you’re looking for action with single men and can’t accommodate at home, then this will suit you, and the couples night can be fun. The club is a lot cleaner than it used to be and the smiles on the staff’s faces a welcome change from the grumpy ‘Annie Wilkes’ types of previous visits. Still, it’s a weird club and not one we would recommend to anyone for a first time visit, more a port of call for later when you’re more sure of what you want from an evening and also have the confidence to handle any potential difficult situations.

| I put ok, as wqas not bad enough to put avoid and nothing inbetween,I went one time few months back, never gone back andhave no plans to go back, I found the staff behind the bar just so miserable, puts you off having a good time, this was a daytime, the places itself looked fine, facilities good, guys a bit seedy following you around everywhere but part an parcel of these places i guess. |

| . As a Rios regular I want to apologies to the recent posters who had less than a Fab time. Yes there is a small minority of total ass holes who go there. Most never comeback as they are not scene people just wankers popping in after a night in the pub or frankly kids on a dare. Raise the age to 21 Rios please. Just want to
say there are a lot of nice people at Rios and please don't judge all of us by a minority of dickless wonders. The cowboy. |

| We went last night for the first time in about 4 years and it was good to see they had given it a facelift but they still have the same problem with people pretending to be couples to get in and then the guy wanders off on his own in the hope of some fun. They had a member of staff walking round to try and keep an eye on things but that didn't stop it totally. The staff though as always really nice and friendly. But due to the fact that these pretend couples still get in we won't be in a hurry to go back. Oh and I lost count of the amount of women in swimming costumes or bikini's - not exactly a naturist spa lol. It was much better 11 years ago when we first ever went. |

| I would have rated this place 'fun' or 'fabulous', but as others mention it is sadly let down by the sad, desperate single blokes who simply wander around in the hope of 'stumbling' across some action.
Wednesday nights are decent, but far too many swimming costumes around when I visited on a Friday evening.
To the two girls washing each other down in the shower - thank you. |

| A pretty smart place, always great fun. Unfortunately it is a great shame that the minority still seem to continually spoil it for everyone. Went along with someone that had never experienced the club atmosphere or a spa before and although being able to stick up for herself was repeatedly touched by a small minority of guys that won't take no for an answer or keep their hands to themselves. Also the constant tapping and knocking of probably the same losers on the cabin doors is really uncalled for and should be stopped. All in all, it is a well maintained facility, the staff are friendly and it makes a welcoming oasis on a very hot and sunny day, just shame about some of the very sad single guys, You! let! it! down! for! the! rest! |

| Even with mixed reviews I visited with an open mind. It turns out I was the only naked lady in this naturist venue and got groped uninvited by several men who didn't appear to think that was a problem. When I initiated contact in one of the steam rooms a guy in there blatantly took photos with an iPhone in a waterproof bag, until I noticed and smacked him over the head with it.
Good facilities, bad behaviour with no screening or comeback from disinterested staff. If you're into very large middle aged men with absolutely no idea how to behave then this is the place for you. |

| Rios is great I have been going here for years. Ok you get the dickheads you do everywhere. But the staff are cool and there are a lot of good folks as well as the DHs. Wednesday nights tend to be the busiest and Saturday Nights Couples sessions are very popular. But as a Single Man I have rarly had a bad night, sex most times I have gone and even when I have not had sex a good steam and soak and some peace is worth its weight in Gold. I last went just before Easter and had a great night. I have met a number of my sexyest mistresses here and had some the filthyest Dirtiest sex in the Back rooms and if discreat in the wet steam rooms. I recomend this to anyone who knows how to conduct themeslves with a bit of class and understand that NO meand NO. To single Guys I would say be polite and be relaxed and you could wind up with the most sex you have ever had. |

| I've been to Rios a few times now both summer and winter the sauna, steam rooms and jacuzzi are great the facilities are clean and the staff friendly. I have met some nice people there. It is a bit Male heavy surprising given the price. I really enjoy going there and every time I go there it gets better. Hope to meet some of you there. Only complaint the outside is shut off and the big pool has been closed which is a real shame. Otherwise love you Rios |

| Ok, will put our twopenneth in. We are long standing members of Chameleons which is fabulous, and were a bit nervous of going to Rios as we had read a lot of negative reviews. There are pros and cons to this place. Cons are we felt the ladies behind the bar lacked friendliness, the upstairs area was closed, (not busy enough), and it seemed to us that the proprietors can't quite make up their minds whether this is a place for swingers or naturists, (Lucy was ticked off for playing with someone in the large jacuzzi despite the fact that the only other person in there was a working girl - she wanted £50 to play with her!). Having said that, it was a pleasant place, nice and clean, with 3 great jacuzzis, and plenty of saunas and steam rooms. The play rooms were adequate and we played with a lot of nice people and didn't have any problems with the men. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, but definitely think Chams is far superior. |

| A good night, made friends with a lovely couple, despite being let down by the couple who was meant to be there with us, Rios was fun, the place was friendly and all the staff are lovely, do not take spirits with you as it will be taken off, only take wine & beer, it was our 1st time, we was told about what happens at midnight and yes you do get a lot of single men in there BUT be strong, say no if you are not interested the couples only area was fun, again if you want to be alone with your partner, shut & lock the door & have some fun!!!! |

| Rios has now lost the use of it's swimming pool, they are going to make it into a seated relaxation area, bit of a bummer because the pool was one of the up-sides of the place. Just to add a little bit to the previous post that someone left on 29 aug - unfortunately if you stay there after midnight then they allow singles in and yes you will get the "wankers" in who lust and leer but once again be frim and tell them where to go....if they claim ignorance use your turkish/russian phrase book because that is main base of males, the turks are a problem because they cant do mixed bathing at their own baths and they assume that every female is on offer even if she is wearing a costume. |

| We went on saturday evening for the couples night,Lots of couples there and a great atmosphere.The place was very clean and tidy.At midnight the single males were let in,most were very nice but the odd one had wandering hands in the hottub without being invited.
we went back on the sunday afternoon for some more fun,met a couple of great guys and had some fun.The only downside to the club is some of the single males try to follow you into the play rooms.as long as you are firm with them then its no problem.
cant wait to go back |
