| - My greeting at the front reception was warm and nice. The lady told me to go upstairs and another person greeted me at the entrance of the women's locker area. Since I've been here before I told her I can skip the tour. She gave me my locker assignment and I changed into my workout gear.
Having a fitness center in a spa is a perk I like to use. The downstairs gym area had towels, bottled water, smaller lockers for hotel guests, high tech cardio and weight machines, large TVs, kettle bells and weights. I jumped on a cardio machine, watched some TV on the individual screen for 30 minutes, then used some of the weight machines. I felt like I did more reps because the machines moved so smoothly without resistance unlike my regular gym.
The upstairs spa facilities starts with a coed sitting room which is stocked with a variety of beverages and trail mixes. My favorite was the one with pumpkin seeds. This is also the area where it splits off to the male and female locker rooms with wet facilities.
In the female area, it was pretty standard with a vanity area (full of amenities like lotions, hair stuff, etc), showers, hot tub, steam room, and sauna.
In the treatment area, there is also a quiet meditation room which a perfect place to relax and nap after a treatment. I did this after my massage.
Speaking of massage, it was good. The massage bed was already warmed and the coolest thing is instead of putting a round pillow under your ankles, the bed moves and puts you in a perfect massage position! The massage itself was relaxing with some moments of tension being released. Overall a good balance of relaxation and tight muscle release. i judge this by how many times I can fall asleep during the massage, which was at least two. My therapist was named Michael or David I believe.
I would definitely come back and stay for at least 4 hours to utilize everything.
