| - My husband and I decided to visit the Joya Spa for Spa Week this year, and are we ever glad we did. This place is an absolute dream!
Unfortunately, we were running late for our appointment, due to unforeseen construction on the roads, and I was STRESSED. However, whatever stress I had bottled up inside of me instantly disappeared once we stepped inside the Joya. The staff was extremely accommodating, and explained they just learned about the traffic delay earlier that morning, and all appointment times would be honored for the full length of the service. Normally, spas will deduct time off your treatment to keep on schedule if you're late, so I was very happy to hear this. Five minutes after checking in, I whipped my clothes off, threw them (literally) into a locker, and dashed out to my couples massage.
We were in a large suite off the terrace, and were immediately set at ease wtih a spritz of their signature scent at the spa to invigorate our senses. Our massage therapists were wonderful. They were extremely attentive, and sensitive to the pressure they were applying. By the time it was over, my husband had to pry me off the table because I didn't want to move. I was officially jello. This was by far, one of the best massages I've had in a long time. Upon leaving the treatment room, we were greeted with glasses of champagne to wish us a happy anniversary. I had casually mentioned this to the designer on the phone when I booked the appointments, so I was extremely impressed with their attention to detail.
They led us to the co-ed lounge, which looked more like a Moroccan hideaway. The lounge was incredibly relaxing that it almost put me to sleep, which wouldn't have been a bad thing considering the state I was in.
After having a little alone time to bask in our new centered states, we decided to hang pool side. "Wow" is all I can say! You walk out to this picturesque view of the mountain--truly a divine oasis. My one qualm with the pool area, was its size. There were definitely not enough seats for the amount of clientele they had on site that day, and you could tell people were getting frustrated. Also, we ordered some spa fare poolside, and for two salads, a forty dollar bill was a bit much. But, hey, we're at a resort in Paradise Valley, so what did we expect?!?
We finished off our day with a quick workout, dunk in the whirlpool, and sweating out the toxins in the steam room and sauna. I even tried the cold deluge, which is basically is a cold shower. Even after the steam rooms, its still freezing, but helps bring your body temperature down pretty quickly.
Overall, my experience was magnificent. The staff was very pleasant, helpful, and prompt. There was always an abundance of fresh towels, all rooms, showers, and lockers were turned over and cleaned quickly, and water/ice tea and fruit spreads were always stocked and fresh. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will DEFINITELY be returning!
