| - This spa looks great from the outside. I treated my partner to a manicure and pedicure, along with a couple's massage here. Now, on arrival, one is greeted by a whole host of people, and they are all really friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is a cross between an eclectic day spa and a Buddhist monastery (hushed voices and all). Having said this, my partner told me that while the pedicure was okay, the manicure was 'brilliant' (she's had her fair share of these, so she's a great judge for it!).
The couple's massage was just okay, however the spa puts in a lot of effort to make one feel relaxed (they provide refreshments at almost every station). The one drawback was that the place was a bit crowded (they do get a lot of appointments, but they're able to manage these quite seamlessly). If there was confusion or conflict, the patron would generally not know of it.
Having said this, my favorite aspects of this establishment are the salon (great haircut, head massage, etc.), and very courteous staff (I've been back for the salon alone, and the barber is superb!). The other aspect is (and I mentioned this already) that the staff is very accommodating and rather informative....not only did they treat my partner, but they catered to my every whim (I got chocolates and other items, and they delivered them at different (scheduled) times to her, per my request, to her).
The facilities are well appointed and one can come away with a very pleasant experience. The reason this isn't a five star review, however, is that, some of the service staff isn't as experienced for the levels of touted service, but, all things considered, better than a host of other establishments in this city.
