| - This was my first real experience at a spa. I have wanted to go for a long time, and was delighted when my boyfriend got me a gift certificate for my birthday. I checked the website for the spa menu and noticed that I could get a free 3 course meal at the restaurant within 7 days of my birthday. I called right away and booked my day at the spa. Since I was booking kind of last minute, there weren't many spots open - even for a weekday. However, I was able to fit in everything I wanted to do.
I started off with lunch on the terrace. I ordered the appetizer tasting trio, grilled salmon and fruit trio for dessert. It was very relaxing to be in my robe, and I didn't feel rushed at all. I enjoyed my meal and sat with a book while I finished my glass of wine. The food was excellent with beautiful flavours and presentation. I was surprised that it was only $29 to add it to any treatment regularly.
After lunch I went to the pool and hot tub to enjoy some water therapies before my Sea Flora Detox Wrap. This area was unisex. I spent a bit of time in the hot tub, then in the pool, and just relaxing in the chairs reading a magazine.
Next was my detox wrap. Although a bit pricey, I would highly recommend this body treatment. You get a little bit of everything in 100 mins, and it was very enjoyable.
Afterwards, I spent some time in the women's change room for some more water therapies. I prefer them there than the unisex area. There was a beautiful hot tub and sauna.
I ended the day with the Elmline Soothing & Repair Spa Facial. I had never had a facial before. This one felt nice at times, but I also felt like I was getting a bit of a lecture. I think I would try a different facial next time.
Prices are really high, but I very much enjoyed my time and would come back.
