| - If you're staying at the Mandarin Oriental, grab all of your girlfriends and stop by The Spa! It's located on the 8th floor (right before the hallway where the pool is). After checking in, we filled out some waivers while sipping on mint tea. We then exchanged our shoes for black rubber sandals. We were then given a tour of the facilities. The Spa is same-sex only (except for the hammam, but it was closed I think for renovations).
After putting our belongings in a locker and changing into a robe we headed over to the vitality pool. Bring your bathing suit otherwise you'll have to be in the nude (unless, of course that's your thing lol). The pool was right in front of a large set of windows so you got a nice view. We then hit up the experience showers, steam room, laconium, sat in some heated lounge seats and then finished up in the relaxation room. The relaxation room was really nice as well. There were several beds that you could snuggle in while sipping on more tea or their fruit infused waters. Again, there were large windows in this room so we got an amazing view of the sunset.
The Spa provides everything you could possibly need (hair-ties, toothbrushes, deodorant, floss, make-up remover wipes, shower caps, etc). I think it would be a smart idea to come here later in the afternoon, that way you have enough time to enjoy all of the amenities and then take a shower and get ready for a night out. Plus, not to mention there was no one else here when my friends and I stopped in around 7.
