| - I had recieved a gift card to Spa Lamar and decided to take advantage of the 85 minute therapeutic massage. When I called, they encouraged me to come early so that I could use the jacuzzi, steam and sauna. They mentioned it was coed so I should bring a suit. From the way they were describing the place, and by the looks of their brochure, I was expecting a top notch, luxurious spa.. WRONG!.. For starters, the sauna was cold and the steam wasn't "steaming".. when I finally found someone to question about it, she said it goes on every 15 minutes, but she would check... Well, 20 more minutes later (total of 35 minutes waiting for the steam), there was no steam and the employee never came back to see if it was working. The waiting area isn't your typical "mellow", relaxing "holding" area... First, there are men and women, which can be uncomfortable when you are walking around in a robe.. then, there are the employees banging things around and talking on their cell phones. Not exactly relaxing. When I went to take a shower after my massage, there was nothing but cold water... just what I want after a relaxing massage.. an ice cold shower!... Needless to say, I found the overall experience very disappointing. I will say, however, that the massage was, in fact good. Would havve been nice, however, if instead of the upbeat piano music they had piped into the room, there was some mellow, relaxing music... I mean, my intention in going there was to relax!
If you are looking for a high end, relaxing spa, avoid Spa Lamar.
