| - This past weekend, I got to live like a queen thanks to my wonderful bf who treated me to an entire spa day at the Camelback Inn! Knowing I had several services, I wanted to wait until it was prime pool weather and I could make it an entire day. So as the weather approached 80, I knew the time had come to book it immediately.
I arrived bright and early in the morning to be greeted by the friendly staff, a great scent lingering throughout the building and a beautiful pool staring at me from below. After a speedy check-in process, they gave me my itinerary and sent me to the woman's locker room. Upon entering, I was greeted by some more friendly staff who gave me a locker room key and took me on a tour. The locker room is complete with razors, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, mouth wash, hair spray, deodorant, full private showers, a jacuzzi, steam room and two private lounges...and the day is only just beginning!
Throughout the day, I had a facial, Swedish massage, manicure and blow-out. I scheduled them sporadically so that I was able to enjoy several hours by the pool that overlooks a gorgeous view of Camelback Inn. While lounging by the pool, I munched on a light lunch of a veggie wrap from Sprouts Cafe, the restaurant at the spa. The food was delicious and they list the nutrition next to each item so you have an idea of your intake. Following several hours at the pool, I decided to check out the gym and feel a little productive during the blissful day by working out. The gym is state of the art and each treadmill has a private tv. The staff is constantly cleaning and wiping off the equipment. So now let's go back to the most important part: the services. Each service was spectacular! The facial was relaxing and hydrating and even included a prolonged neck and shoulder massage. The Swedish massage was so heavenly it put me to sleep...in a good way. The blow-out left me feeling like a celebrity (and included a scalp massage) and the manicure made my nails weekend-ready (and included a hand massage). I've never gotten so many massages in one period of time!
The thing I like most about this spa is that it's relaxing and if you plan it right, you can make it a complete eight hour day here and make the most of the spa. I could get used to having days where I float on cloud nine like this, but in the meantime, I will just always remember my heavenly day at the Camelback Inn Spa.
