| - My fiance gifted me a spa day here for a relaxing massage on 1/28 while we stayed here from 1/27-1/29. He only had me go so he could calm his nerves about proposing to me later that night haha. Anyways, the front desk and staff were very nice, helpful, and friendly. Definitely a plus when you walk in. Provided me slippers and locker which had a robe inside. Afterwards, waited in the sitting room for my therapist to show up.
I knew what I was getting myself into getting a massage inside a Casino, I've heard most were not pleasant. I didn't want to believe it so I went without any negative thoughts. Was an older gentlemen. He didn't do a very good job of greeting me. I recently graduated from massage therapy school in Nov 2014 and thought that wasn't professional. For a relaxing massage, it wasn't very relaxing at all. I was doing more analyzing his strokes then relaxing. Some of the techniques he used on me actually hurt, and that doesn't happen rarely or never. So I cringed every time he did it and went over it 3-4 times. I wanted my neck and shoulders worked on, he barely touched them and ignored my request. Overall, it was pretty bad.... There were some things I did like, which I don't remember unfortunately, because the most I do remember were horrible. =X I wish they didn't have to add the 20% gratuity to the bill because he seriously didn't deserve that much...
What kept this from going down 1-2 stars was the amenities they offer. Sitting inside the sauna and jacuzzi made me forget about how horrible my massage was. They also have a small cold pool to cool off in. It's very nice and serene as well. For any quiet time you want for yourself, this place has it written all over it. The sitting area is also nice, comfy chairs, has water, juice, and fruit for any snacking. They also have showers and they provide everything for you. This part was truly the best part! I'd definitely come back to have a spa day here! Not the massage though, thanks I'll pass.
