"HEAD-TO-TOE REVITALIZATION" 90-MIN TREATMENT = 4 stars
OVERVIEW OF TREATMENT
Let's start with the good. I received a gift certificate for this service and wasn't sure what to expect. The website said it was a scalp, hand, and feet massage. When I arrived in the room, my masseuse Fang explained that the first part of the service is on the steam and shower pod. So it's this white plastic pod machine that looks pretty high tech (I think there's a photo on Yelp that someone else took)... She first exfoliated and scrubbed my legs and arms. Then she closed the pod and it started to steam inside. Then came the warm-hot water to wash off the scrub - you had to use your hands to rub it off inside the pod. It was definitely a cool experience and the future of all showers haha... Imagine never having to leave your bed again for anything! Even to shower, woot!
The second part of the service was on the massage table where Fang massaged my legs, arms, a tiny bit of my back, my neck/shoulder, and scalp. It was so soothing and relaxing... fell asleep a few times. Fang was terrific and I definitely felt relaxed and super soft after the whole experience! Loved it!
To take the experience from 4 stars to 5 stars, I would recommend that they:
- Use a better scented scrub... this one didn't have much of a smell, but a slight subtle smell of dog food.
- The massage oil could also have been scented with something like lavender or whatever. Fang was great though and I didn't leave feeling oily at all, which is a first for me when I get massages.
- I wish they did a full-body massage and not just arms, legs and scalp. I would've loved a back massage and more neck/shoulder.
I would definitely recommend this service for anyone who wants to try something a little bit different and willing to shill out the $$$. But the facilities need huge improvement...
OVERVIEW OF FACILITIES
I've been to a handful of high-end spas now, and the facilities definitely lack for this one.
- Everything is so small... change room only has one shower and one toilet
- Steam room initially smelled like Eucalyptus, but when I turned on the steam, there was no actual Eucalyptus steam... Boo. It's a tiny room like a shower with a small tiled area to sit (fits two people sitting). I wish it was larger or had space to actually lie down.
- The sauna and swimming pool are actually at Club Markham (the gym facilities of the hotel) that is shared with the rest of the hotel. So there are a lot of kids swimming in the pool, FYI. It's about a one-minute walk from the Spa, but i would've preferred if they had a sauna inside the Spa so I didn't have to awkwardly walk out with my robe and slippers for all hotel guests to see.
- The waiting area was nice... stocked with Tazo tea bags, bottled fruit juices, and old looking fruit (apples and bananas)... They also have iced lemon water, but when I arrived it was empty and never refilled, so I was dehydrated for quite awhile.
