| - I'm not sure why I never reviewed Well & Being at Willow Stream ... Oh .. right... I want to keep it a secret.
Ok... so .. Spas are great... and most are focused on relaxation...regrettably, it appears that spas have now become the "springboard" pre-marriage or pre-baby "fun spot"... BLEK!!!!!
Thank god this place is upscale, extremely professional and does not seem to encourage a "party" environment. Although I loved Joya back when... however, it soon became abused by the "1st time spa" groups.. This type of behavior is not conducive to a relaxing experience. None-the-less I try and avoid weekends at any spa primarily for that reason.
Well & Being has the best layout in the valley.. Tranquil, multi level, professional ... and great hiding places if you want to avoid over-hearing true life comparisons to the "fifty shades of grey" book. (Side note: .. after overhearing so many of these stories... it's clear people are sheltered and not well traveled).
The Men's facilities are modern, masculine & very clean. Grooming amenities are not highly scented or offensive. Full services include swiss shower, steam, jacuzzi, cold plunge, sauna and eucalyptus inhalation room. The "shaving bar" turns a chore into a pleasure!
They have an awesome custom designed co-ed hydrotherapy / waterfall area, which has about 5 different waterfalls. Each one is specifically engineered to provide focused / defined pressure and therapies to the guest... unfortunately some people don't realize the engineering marvel and tend to "linger & chat" thus delaying others from using the therapy for its intended purpose.
The entire staff is always professional and inherently willing to go above and beyond. I have never encountered a rude or condescending staff member, which is so common in that industry. I've only booked the same massage therapist and that's Dan... I have no reason to see anyone else; he is a true professional, with the skill and background to ensure a truly effective session!
The lunches are always good...but I have to thank god that the cob salad is on the menu, That's my choice to ensure I get a good sized meal, that is not completely "spa stripped" of the typical manly enjoyments of fat and flavor.
I hope that this review has both interested the serious and frightened off the groups of loud, obnoxious people that want an inexpensive avenue to recognize a special someone.
