| - I am a university student. Going to the spa is pretty much the most amazing thing you can do while in school, aside from acing a course.
I've been to the Blue Lagoon and the Dead Sea, so I knew that going to the spa was a definite treat, but it was a big plus to discover that on Tuesdays, the entrance fee here is $38 (which is the equivalent of eating out twice).
Being a novice, I can't find much to complain about; I was happy to even have steamy glasses upon entering the lobby. The place itself is very clean, chic, and comfortable. At no point did I feel uneasy about my age, my body, or what exactly I was doing. This was a big plus.
The staff were friendly and accessible and I didn't feel bothered when they'd ask me if I needed anything. The women at the spa were nice, too, some even chatting with me for a bit. It was nice to be there with a friend but it is definitely something that can be done on your own. Both my friend and I agreed that it'd be a nice place to study, reading a book while soaking in a bath.
After soaking all day, the spa has a great vanity section with complimentary brushes, blow dryers, hair products, and lotion. I had a field day with this.
The only thing you need to bring is your bathing suit, and even that is optional. Everything else (locker, towels, bathrobes, sandals, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash) is complimentary. Hurray!
My only recommendations is that one drink be included in the price. It's a bit steep (access to the Blue Lagoon is cheaper!) and if they even tacked on an extra two dollars, it'd still be worth it. I also wished that the bathrobes didn't get soaked so easily, but they always have more.
EDIT: After talking to my friend, she complained that her rings are tarnished from the spa. The spa should make a better effort to alert patrons of this.
It's also a good idea to drink lots of water. Don't forget to do that!
I would go back in a heartbeat.
