Yeah, so the decor in this Moroccan themed spa is a bit "Disneyland" but the experience is authentic.
The facility has everything you need for a deeply relaxing experience. Dimly lit rest area with comfy couches are great but a whisper area with curtained twin beds are just incredible. The spa pool-on the roof top-overlooks Camelback mountain. It's small and intimate with great food and drinks. Granted we were there on a Monday so it was pretty quiet ( highly recommended!)
The spa area-the whirlpool, cool deluge ( LOVE IT) and the wet and dry saunas are top rate.
The best part of my experience was the massage. Colleen was magical. I love the spiritual-mind-body connection with massage but usually don't expect it at a resort spa. Colleen was tuned in but also extremely competent with the physical aspects of massage. Next time I'm booking with her and it will be the 1.5 hours!
I floated through the rest of the day. I would recommend a massage early and then use the early day to relax by the pool and eat. Then do your spa rituals and don't forget the cold water plunge-it is soo worth the initial fear.
Then....take a nap!
The only negative was the front desk staff( both on the phone and in person) need to step it up in the customer service arena-you expect really over the top interpersonal skills at a high end spa.
We went on the spa week special-79.00-such a deal!
