Had a massage and pedicure at Bliss last week using the Travelocity deal.... $99 for $200 plus cocktail and lunch in the poolside lounge.
The spa itself can be considered 'boutique', very small. Two showers, toilets, sinks etc. Perfect for my mom and I on a Thursday afternoon but would have been awkward if there were other people present. Tons of Bliss spa products available and unlike previous reviewers no problems with availability or pumps. The handicap showers rain shower only gave out cold water which was a bummer but the wall unit worked. I wore my spa sandals in the shower but my mom went barefoot and said the floor was so slippery she didnt use conditioner because she was so afraid of slipping and wanted to get out quick.
The lounge room is nice......brownies, cheese and crackers were more for show than eating I suppose. When I think 'brownie bar'....this is not what I was expecting.
My massage was with Johnny, 5 stars- he was awesome. Lots of foot action :)
My pedi was with Amy, it was ok- 3 stars. The nails weren't as perfect in shape as the little asian hole in the wall I usually go to. They also used a foot bucket without running water (I am super allergic to lotions so getting the scrub off was a priority....I ended up taking a shower afterwards to make sure it was fully rinsed.) Considering what Bliss charges for the pedicures I would not recommend them.
If I had things to do over again we would have showered between the massage and pedicure to better preserve our polish. As the appointments were booked we only had about 10 minutes to get dressed between them. Booking is a total pain in the butt....you have to call their main office in NY or Chicago....and there is a LOT of wait time involved in talking to someone. The 3 times I called them it took over 10 minutes to leave a message requesting a call back.
Our tax and 20% gratuity were added. I was aware of that ahead of time but the $67 each at the end of our appt was still a little bit of shock. The free cocktail and lunch helped though (and at $15 a piece was a good deal) I would recommend Bliss if you had a good deal, ask for John!
