| - My partner and I tried the couples Hydro Float & Massage for $350. Luckily, our insurance covered both or else, it would just be too expensive to pay out of pocket. If you have extended health benefits, ask your insurance if they cover: "Hydrotherapy Massage Treatments administered by an RMT"
This was both our first time floating. I was super excited to try it because I read great reviews about it. The spa itself is very clean and inviting. The décor was very soothing and the colours used was very spa like. The staff was nice and friendly. As other yelpers have mentioned, there is no individual area for people to change in the change room. You just have to do it in front of everyone. It was awkward, but do-able. I would recommend having an area for those that are uncomfortable to change in the open in the future. The spa provides robes and slippers. We went to the waiting area and helped ourselves to water, ginger tea, and coffee. They also had tangerines.
Our massages were excellent. We both liked the RMTs that worked on us. In fact, we have booked another appointment with them because they were both so good! The price for the massage is industry standard.
After the massage, we went to do our float. You have the option of floating first before the massage as well, but the staff recommended the massage first because then you won't have wet hair. I liked this as well because my muscles got a chance to relax in the pool.
We did the couples float so we went to a private room with a medium size pool and shower. We were told to put on ear plugs so that the salt water does not get into our ears. The staff told us we could call them on the intercom to turn off all the lights. We took a quick rinse in the shower and hopped in. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the float experience because the salt really itched my skin. I had to take multiple showers to be able to go back in the pool. The salt water did not relax my skin, which was surprising for me. My partner liked it more, but find the salt irritated his skin after the float was over.
We spoke to the staff after who said this is not a common experience, but the amount of salt that's in the pool could irritate someone's skin. I think the float experience is great for someone that does not have an issue with salt water. The pool itself stimulated a nice calming river and it is nice to be "offline" for the hour. I told my friend about this experience and she said it sounded like being in a mother's womb. What a visual. At any point, I would recommend people to try it out for themselves and see if they like it.
