| - I received my first spa experience here. I was really pleased at how they were able to fit me into their schedule on such quick notice. My mother called and they told us they had time to fit us both in. Ten minutes later when we called back, it was all full! How?? But anyway, they were able to fit me in for a 25 minute back, neck, and shoulder massage with an aromatherapy add-on.
The front desk area is very pretty, with orchids and mirrors everywhere. You walk along a sunlight filled hallway and find yourself in front of the salon ( it looked very posh). Inside, at the receiving desk for the spa, the lady was very nice and offered us juices, coffee, etc there. She gave us a tour of the facility, and situated us with a locker, the key, and everything we would need.
They feature a huge jacuzzi, a steam room, a dry sauna, a relaxation lounge, and a quiet tv area.
My mother had a hot stone massage that she really liked, and she looked so smiley after, that I was so happy I had dragged her away from the slot machines for a few hours in the spa. My head, shoulders, and back massage was okay. Next time, I will opt for a longer massage, as this one was too short! I let my masseuse know that it was my first massage, so she walked me through it and was very reassuring. I was expecting lavender or chamomile, but she chose lemon. She didn't even ask me for my choice - she just assumed since I was young, I'd like lemon. Wrong /: Anyway, she told me I had to drink tons of water to cleanse out the toxins. She was so great for a first-timer!
God, I loved it. Everyone there is simply looking for relaxation and pleasure, so people mill around finding exactly that. All the patrons are nice and respectful of your privacy.
However, there were some people who were loud and disrespectful. I understand, some girls want to gab away when they have spa time, as they so rarely get a chance to be together. However, there is no need to yell your problems - I don't need to know about your bachelorette party, and how much alcohol you drank last night. Please just let me enjoy my spa time... Everyone wondered why employees didn't ask them to quiet down to a whisper, at least. And, ladies in the relaxation room : I didn't need to listen to you talk about your mansions and your pool. Be courteous, and don't ruin it for the rest of us.
You only have to pay $25 if you want to enjoy the spa facilities without a massage or facial. The facilities are included at no extra charge if you do get a massage ( thank goodness. )
There are countless water bottles chilled in things filled with ice, and a separate one filled with iced hand/face towels with chilled cucumber slices. There's an abundance of fluffy towels offered through the place, and many, many hampers where one may dispose of their used towel. In the lounge area, there's chilled water, apples, and granola bars set out, to eat to your heart's desire.
There are only a few stalls in the restroom area, which was an annoyance, but most of the time, there was no wait. There are also a few showers there, as well, completely stocked with shampoo, conditioner, shaving utensils, and body wash. I didn't like how their showers flooded, though /: The shower head was heavenly, though - it felt like I was standing in the middle of a warm, soothing (pounding) rainstorm.
True to the person who gave us a tour of the facility, you could really live in there! There are snacks, countless waterbottles, toothbrushes, toothpaste, face wash and moisturizer; mouthwash, cotton balls, q tips !
In the locker area, there's a salon area complete with straightening irons, blow dryers, hairspray, and tons of other things ! There's so much stuff there that all you need is your own makeup. Everything else is already provided for!
Ahh, heavenly. I can't wait to come back again, this time for the full 50 minute aromatherapy massage!
