| - This is a great spa experience to try - a spa on a boat! Bota Bota was recommended to me by the Montreal CM and I'm glad I decided to check it out. Located in Old Montreal, it's sleek and modern yet inviting design/decor will keep you coming back.
This spa is a typical spa with massage services etc, but they also have the water circuits located outside. The water circuits if you arrive before 11am (or after 6pm) Mon-Fri is only $35 - this is an amazing deal! You have the cold pools, the hot pools, steam room,sauna, hot tubs and lounging areas and a restaurant. How can you go wrong with that for $35? If you book a 60 min treatment (I did a massage and it was the best massage of my life) you get $15 off the water circuit price! And since they issue a RMT receipt for the massage which you can claim back...well things just keep looking up.
Now I will be honest, the view from the boat isn't the best....but the pools, the lounge areas are fabulous. There are floor to ceiling windows on each floor so you get a lot of light coming in and you can can lost just staring out of the windows. Serenity at it's best.
You are given a robe and one towel (ensure you bring your own flip flops b/c you will need them to walk outside to the pool - you need to go down a metal ramp/stairs so I can only imagine in the summer it must get hot to walk on).
The locker rooms are big, they have showers and a small station to do your hair (hair dryer, flat iron etc) when you are done. You are given a magnetic key-bracelet to wear so you don't need to worry about remembering a 4 digit pin to open anything.
The spa (boat) is about 4 floors - with one floor entirely devoted to lounging - leather fluffy lounge chairs, those chairs that are suspended from the ceiling and small comfy chairs throughout. Plenty of magazines to keep you zones out and relaxed. On the floor where the massages are done there is a small lounge area with a fireplace. Lovely touch.
By the pools there is also a few areas to lounge - one whole area with about 10 of those chair-swings from the ceiling and another section that has comfy lounge chairs to the front of the pools.
All the staff are extremely friendly and pleasant - from the front desk to the massage therapists. They will definitely give you that ahhhh spa experience :)
Coming on a weekday is of course less busy (and cheaper!) than on a weekend so I would highly recommend taking a day off and visiting this spa before 11am - it will set the tone for the rest of your day and then you can walk around Old Montreal!
