  • My boyfriend and I were at the Royal Palms for a long weekend on a spur-of-the-moment trip, and were lucky to get in for massages and a manicure at Alvadora at the last minute - ease of scheduling was a plus, but that's about as good as it got. When I checked in the attendant was pleasant, but didn't really explain the spa amenities or ask if I needed a locker so I had to go back out to get a key after I'd done some exploring on my own. The massage (50 minute custom) was okay - and I know it's hard to complain about ANY massage! - but quite odd: there was a lot of rubbing and strange pushing in random places, and the flow was kind of erratic and uneven without really seeming to target major muscle groups. The therapist (Judy) was pleasant enough and responded to requests, but the room was quite basic. I wish I'd saved the $165 that this one massage cost for two massages from my fantastic therapist at home. The manicure, sadly, was even more disappointing. The manicurist (Jerry) was a little rough on my fingers and cuticles, cutting them too far back so they were peeling the next day; she didn't clean the filings out from under my nails, there was no exfoliation or hand massage, and the whole thing was just pretty sloppy. The color selection was minimal, and the polishes looked old - like they'd been on the shelf for a while. I asked the manicurist if the color I'd selected was opaque or translucent - I wanted an opaque ballerina pink - and she stared at me and replied, "It's like chalky," which is apples to oranges, right?! I said, "You mean it's a matte finish, instead of gloss?" and she said, "Yeah, it's not shiny." So I was like, "But is it going to be see-through or not?" and I don't think she had any idea what I was asking. I picked a different color anyway, and when it was applied it was... translucent. Whatever. The worse part is that after it had dried the polish was full of tiny bubbles and was uneven and chipping within 24 hours. I feel like such a jerk complaining about the privilege of getting my nails done, but for $50 I really think it should be perfect. The spa itself is nice, but nothing extraordinary. It's a little small, and needs to be updated. Overall: underwhelming. It was still a relaxing and luxurious afternoon, but I kind of wish I'd spent my money elsewhere.
