| - If I lived closer, I would probably spend a lot of time here. The facilities are remotely located (but not too remote) and the atmosphere is beautifully designed. The following amenities are included with your spa purchase, or made available to you when you pay a day use fee (whether you're a resort guest at the Sheraton or a non-guest):
+ gym (included in fee with resort)
+ locker room use, which includes fully stocked bathrooms/showers, a male or female-only sauna, cool-tub, and outdoor hot tub
+ use of the outdoor heated pool (so nice!), towels, lounge chairs, and hot tub
Allow me to elaborate on these amenities... I have nothing but good things to say about them. Let this also be a warning that you should DEFINITELY plan to take advantage of these features. Not doing so would surely lessen the value of your treatment! STAY ALL DAY.
LOCKER ROOM
Oh my god, the showers are from a dream... They are simple stand-up rain shower heads, but each stall has an inner curtain and an outer curtain. Every time a shower is used, someone comes and cleans the shower and re-stocks the shelves with: a bath mat, 2 large towels and 1 hand towel, and a razor. Amenities that live in the shower include body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and shaving cream. Right?? So nice! Every gym and day spa should be so nice! I was so impressed, that I took three showers the day I was there... no joke. But you should take a shower before using the pool, maybe after your appointment, and after you jump in the pool, right?
If you have a spa treatment, you get a plush robe and spa sandals along with a locker/lock to store your valuables. The locker rooms are equipped with: hair dryers, brushes, combs, cotton balls, cotton swabs, lotion, sunscreen, hand soap, hair gel, hair spray....
OUTDOOR HEATED POOL
Amazing... it is not your typical pool... shaped like a lazy river without the river features. There is handicap access and "pockets" where you can turn on jets. The pool is shallow and more for wading and relaxing than having a full on workout; and no diving!! Lounge chairs surround the pool and the pool pockets also allow for some privacy for you and your partner. Umbrellas and shade is readily available as well. Food, beer, and wine, is also provided by waitress service by the pool. Heaven!
SPEAKING of FOOD... you can order from the cafe from 11-3. The food is good but definitely on the healthy side.. I have to order a couple things to satisfy my pregnant hunger urges, but it was no problem. And it tastes good! Who doesn't like to eat healthy while on a break, anyway?
SPA SERVICES
These are expensive.. I had the mommy to be massage which was nice. I would love any number of their other offerings, including body wraps, exfoliation, special massage, etc.. but didn't want to pay the full price (for which a 20% gratuity is recommended).
But like I mentioned, you don't necessarily need to get a spa treatment in order to enjoy the delight of the warm pool and beautiful scene and Arizona sun. (Darn you... locals). I highly recommend going to this spa even without having tried any other spas in the area.
