| - Nuts! Some one beat me to writing the first review! Oh well....
But like Ruth C, I too, tried this spa out for the Spa Week Special.
Cannot beat a $50 massage to begin with, let alone at a spa like this that is well appointed, spacious and new (opened in January 2010). Plus I was staying at the Embassy across the way so it was convenient.
When you first walk in, you go into the coed Roman Bath, it's nice warm (not hot) pool with day beds along the sides. Then you go into the separate men/women facilities. The woman's facility has a very spacious and lounge sitting area with a large screen TV, comfy huge leather arm chairs and couches. It reminded me a study or library room with its heavy dark wood walls, leather chairs and wood tables. I was thinking the only thing missing would be a fire place! They offer complimentary fruits, granola, teas, coffe and water spiked with lemons.
The bathrooms come fully stocked with curling irons, hair dryers, hairspray, mouse, gel, deodarant, razors, shave get and brushes/combs. There vanity area is pretty large and spread out so you don't feel like you're in somebody elses space. The woman's area also has it's own whirlpool, steam room and sauna.
There's cold towels in ice and cold water all over the facility, in the co-ed and woman's area. The co-ed lounge area has a large flat screen on ESPN (gotta cater to the guys peppered in there with all the ladies!). and has the complimentary fruits, granola teas, etc, etc in there as well.
I got this sugar cane/bamboo stick massage. My technician was professional, didn't talk too much but was friendly enough to make me feel comfortable. Rooms and ambiance are nice and warm, not huge, just enough for the table and your technician to move around.
Over all, I liked this spa, I like it better than the Venetian's Spa and I'm come back.
Pros:
-Size of the spa and facility. It's enough to move around in and feel comfortable. I went on a Saturday at noon so I'm thinking this would be as busy as it would get as there was lots of groups but still didn't feel too crowded.
-The amenities and products provided.
-Clean and new
-Friendly and professional staff
-The ambiance of different spaces are relaxing and inviting, although not all of the same color scheme or theme.
Cons:
-It is the Hard Rock Hotel and it could get busy and crowded with large groups (think bachelorette parties, college co-ed) so you might want to consider when in the week you book your appt.
-The hallway connecting the steam/sauna area to the showers/bathroom in the woman's facility is narrow! Only 1 woman can fit in it at time, 2 have to turn sideways to pass. Weird why they designed it like that.
