| - Nice beautiful quiet spa!
My friend had told me about the Joya Spa a while ago, and I was so excited to go for a facial.
Like many other spas, you can use the facilities on the day of your appointment, before/after.
Location: This is off Lincoln Drive, a beautiful area of the valley. The views from the upstairs pool are quite nice.
Parking: Free in an underground garage.
Amenities: The spa has typical spa goods, the slippers, robe, towels, etc., plus soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. There were numerous various waters around, including grapefruit-enhanced, lemon, and cucumber (separate), plus fruit in bowls here and there. The Whisper room/napping room was a dream! However, these women were "loud whispering" which kept me up the entire time. The nap room has individual beds with Tempur-PedicĀ® mattresses. However the napping room is where the staff members walk through with guests for the treatment rooms - kind of annoying. The spa includes a sauna, hot tub, cold water deluge, and a resting room with heated stones ( I think? They didn't seem heated).
Pool: If you are a spa guest only, the upstairs pool is your only option. The hotel has other pools, but spa guests can only use the top pool. This pool was OK but pretty small. Also, the pool is very thick with chlorine, which is to be expected for a public pool, but wow! It is strong. My hair is dry and smells of chlorine even after two washes, and I was not even in the pool that long.
Staff: Some of the staff were pretty friendly. Others were OK. The server at the pool was super attentive, friendly and nice. She brought us all ice waters and was quick with serving and cleaning up as well.
Food: While at the pool, I ordered the smoked coconut club which includes grilled flavored tofu, veggies, and more. It was pretty good, but I likely would not order it again. They had interesting options, like salmon salad, salads, but other foods too.
Services: I had a facial (unsure which one). It was an excellent experience. Lisa did an amazing job, and I was very comfortable.
