| - Attendant:
The attendant who showed me around this calm, quiet, and tranquil spa was ever so informative. She was upbeat, happy-go-luck, and positive. You may say/think, "Uh, hello, they are paid to be that way?!" Think again, my friend...I am sure we have all had customer service where you are left wondering why in the world the person took a job when they clearly don't like it and are taking it out on you.
Amenities:
*Room of bathrooms-Very clean, a bonus especially with all the traffic
*Locker Rooms: Where one can sit down & do one's hair and also where the slippers and oh-so-soft robes are kept
*Steam Room: It is of a good size, but I was VERY, VERY disappointed that they did not have a eucalyptus infused steam room. To me that is a basic starting point of every steam room, an absolute necessity. It is no major cost difference, but makes all the difference to the clientele. Just a couple of drops of oil in the room, and ta-dah!
*Sauna: Outside in a big bowl was ice water with rolled face towels. I didn't use this room, but I thought that was a nice touch.
*Pool/Spa/Lounge Chairs: I didn't utilize this room, but it seemed like a great room to socialize in with girlfriends and other spa-goers
*Tranquility Room: This is the room you are to come to a few minutes before your service so you can be retrieved. It has beverages, dry fruit, nuts, and magazines. Very quiet room, of course, the whole place is basically quiet, it is just an unspoken respectful rule, I guess. I started off in this room by myself, and by the time I left it was packed, yet still calming.
*THE WALK: When you walk to you therapeutic room for whatever your service is you walk through a GORGEOUS path. Look on the website for the picture. My masseuse was trying to talk to me and I couldn't focus on what she was saying as the path was so wondrous. I wanted to ask her if we could hang out there a lil bit, but I felt silly to ask such a question.
Masseuse:
Well, this is hard to describe...She was not rude, but not personable. She asked if the temperature was okay, and all the right things, but it was like I was taking to a robot, no emotions. I do not want to write her name on here, as she might have been having an off day, but honestly I would not see her again just in case. Just sort of awkward.
Service:
Lavender Stone Ritual-This was an absolute delight. You start off inhaling lovely oil, and getting a thorough scrubbing. Now anyone who has received a scrub knows that it is uncomfortable, but like waxing your nether regions..the benefit and payoff is well worth it. After the scrub you are ushered into a back room and you shower. The room has sky lights, lovely tile, and interior design. The shower itself was amazing. One of the bonuses was that the shower floor was made of small stones. It was a relaxing foot massage and great shower at the same time. This was followed by a great massage with both hot stones and hands. It then concluded with the inhalation of oil again. This was a great service that I would recommend and repeat. When I got back to the hotel room I asked my friend his thoughts on my skin, and we agreed "Absolute Butter"
