| - -Spa Review Only-
My Husband and I decided to celebrate the first day of 2014 with massages and a day at the Spa at the Camelback Inn. I've heard wonderful things about the resort and spa in particular, so I felt this would be a great way to kick off the New Year. The spa is tucked away at the back of the resort, so once we found it we were checked in a directed towards are respective locker rooms.
The women's locker room is a decent size, maybe a little outdated, but overall quite nice. My locker was tricky to get into, but had enough space. The robe I was given had stains on it, which wasn't the greatest impression, and the sandals I found to be a bit uncomfortable (as did the Hubs). Once I changed, I lounged in the waiting area, which was packed before I was called back for my massage. There were so many women being called back for services, it wasn't quite relaxing, but oh well. My massage was ok... nothing really to remember, but it was relaxing (I'll take it). After our massages, the Hubs and I met up and had lunch by the pool. I LOVE the views and it was nice and quiet outside. The waitresses were very nice and prompt. The weather was beautiful... I mean honestly, does it get better than sitting by the pool on January 1st???
The banana smoothie we ordered was delicious as were the sliders, really tasty and cooked perfectly. The beet salad was bland and the beets were a bit too hard. After several hours reading by the pool and hitting the hot tub, the Hubs and I adjourned to our locker rooms to shower and use the facilities.
All in all, I found the spa to be nice, but lacking something. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, but there is something I enjoy about a more intimate atmosphere, like the spa at Royal Palms. Despite some minor things, we had a great day enjoying the beauty at this spa and celebrating a new year.
