My boyfriend and I visited this day spa yesterday after purchasing a Groupon. The interior is nicely designed with light music and had that signature lavender smell of a spa. Check-in was easy and we filled out all the normal paperwork. The woman at the front counter was busy answering the phones, making several Groupon appointments, but we weren't offered any water or the typical, 'Your massage therapist will be right with you' once we turned in the paperwork. I was greeted by Dominic a short time later and led back to my room.
The room is typical for a day spas. The only ambiance in the room was a candle holder on the wall. There was a counter in the back and a small bench to place your clothes in the corner. The music continued to play in the room on the overhead speakers throughout the massage. It would have been nice to see a little more decoration in the room to make it feel more inviting. I'm not sure why these places don't invest a little more into decorations and give it a true spa feel. Additionally, the music overhead was okay but it would be a nice touch to be offered a different music selection if possible. Granted, this is all wishful thinking and above and beyond what you typically see in a day spa but it would have put this place over the top because my massage was fantastic!
Dominic asked if there way anything I needed extra attention on before starting and he did an excellent job of massaging just the right places. I've had several massages before but I would say this is definitely one of my top. Maybe it was because of his technique (long, slow movements) but it definitely was something I enjoyed very much. He never asked how the pressure was (I requested Medium) but luckily it was perfect throughout. Would highly recommend him to anyone!
