But first, you’ll definitely want to warm up with a soak in the cannibal hot tub.

Paradise Village Don’t be nervous! A cannibal hot tub just means the giant kettle of water is heated over an open flame, so it appears to be cooking its guests. Rest assured, you will not actually be cooked in this hot tub.

The water heats slowly over the fire, allowing guests to soak comfortably.

Paradise Village Facebook Soaking this way is not only relaxing, it’s also good for the skin. And you don’t even have to be a hotel guest to enjoy it – you can call and reserve a spot in the tub and soak for $25 an hour (with a two hour minimum).

Whether or not you stay on the property, you’ll definitely want to enjoy a meal or two at the onsite restaurant, bakery and cafe.
