| - I first heard about this new spa through my managers at work and decided to take my boyfriend here for our anniversary and give it a whirl. What better way to spend the day than to be in relaxing waters! I wasn't very keen on the idea that they don't clean out the water after every session. Although, it has said that the water is filtered and sanitized, and being in such large amounts of epsom salt, it would've killed all the bacteria. They have two choices, the single pod suite (that allows you to close the pod completely) and offers and the couples' suite (that is like a miniature pool), which are completely sound-proof to allow you to find your state of "zen". We obviously went for the couples' suite, which had about 10-12 inches of water and 10,000 pounds of epsom salts. Once you get into the spa, we were asked to change into robes and slippers and walked into our treatment room as our hostess thoroughly explained everything we needed to know about the floating session. We started off showering off using their very nicely scented Soapstone products (shampoo, conditioner and body wash) and then slowly slid into the pool for our floating session. There was the option to leave the lights on or turn them off completely so you are in a pitch black room. At first, I found it was hard to relax and any movement in the water causes you to move around the pool but once you do relax it was euphoric! One thing to be cautious about is getting water in your ears and salt water in your eyes. Remember to use the earplugs they supply you and the water bottle to rinse your hands before touching your eyes. They also give you the option to use blow up pillows that help give your neck some more support when floating. After floating for an hour, we showered off afterwards and walked back into the change room to find water, a cup of ginger tea (which was delicious) and a piece of chocolate for the both of us, which was a nice gesture. All in all, it was a good one time experience, that left both our skin feel baby soft and relaxed.
