| - I would give this spa 3.5 stars. First, I'd like to say that some of you are missing out. This spa really isn't that big at all. But it is newer and very clean. Although despite being a newer spa, the lockers don't work well. They are battery operating key pad locks and my friend went through 3 locker changes before she found one that worked. The woman on the staff helping us claimed that it was the humidity. No, she wasn't joking she was absolutely serious when she said that. I've been in enough gyms in my time that when battery operating locks don't work it's usually because they need a new battery, not because of the weather!
I spent about 7 hours here with a friend, while it was relaxing I was glad I had my iPod with me because the bass thumping from one of the pools outside the spa in the Aria hotel at times overpowered the new age spa music, even with the doors closed.
It's a very tranquil environment and there were plenty of fresh fruit, teas/juice/sodas, and snacks to be had. The vanity area had some nice amenities and items to use in the event you forgot something. However, this place isn't very big. There's only 4 toilets and maybe 6 showers. My friend said she had to wait for a shower to open up and we were there in low season (August). If this place were crowded it would not be very relaxing. For that reason alone I wouldn't ever suggest paying more than $30 for a day pass.
I did get a massage, my first Ashiatsu, which was amazeballs. I'm blanking on the guy who did my treatment but he was fantastic. Expensive but well worth it, I would definitely do this again.
The honey roasted peanuts in the snack jars were tasty.
