| - I went to this spa to use a "spafinder" card I had received. I chose the steam bed therapy treatment - It is an interesting treatment which involves a scrub, mud wrap + steam bed, and aromatherapy/hot stone massage at the end. The scrub was nice, nicely scented products. The steam bed portion of the treatment is the best part - once the mud is applied to your body the "steam" function of the bed you are lying on is turned on, and you are cocooned in a shell so that the warm steam covers you from neck to toe. You then step into an adjoining private shower to rinse off the mud before your massage. The "hot stone" massage was a little disappointing - the stones were actually used very little, unlike other hot stone massages I have had where the whole massage was administered using the stones - during this one, the stones were placed on the back for short periods but most of the massaging was done by hand. Overall, the treatment was nice - I didn't notice any huge difference in my skin afterwards, however. I don't believe I would get it again, unless I had a gift card to take the edge off the price a little again :)
The spa itself, is dark, quiet, clean and stylish, but not overly fancy as others have noted. The changerooms are spacious, clean and have small sauna (which I did not use on this visit). For use before/after treatments there is a tea room with loose leaf teas and apples to munch on; and a relaxation room with lounging chairs. I would come back to this spa, if I had another gift card or promotion to lure me in :)
