| - Tagged along with a posh aunt here. I've never been one for spas, but this place is near-surreal-gorgeous. While the Phoenician tops the Princess in nearly every other way, their spa is blah compared to this place (well, except for the gym, but really, who goes to a spa to workout). I had a massage here--not the best, but still very good--and after the rub-down, the masseuse cracked open the back door to the room to let in the sound of one of their many waterfalls, and then left me to drown in super-relaxed serenity. So, after I staggered back to the main spa area, I downed a lot of ice water and some sort of tea infusion that they have sitting out at various places. After drinking and changing, I proceeded to the inner spa area. Tall ceilings and marble walls, a room used exclusively for inhaling eucalyptus oil, saunas, and smaller split-up jacuzzi pools that have all the opulence of an elite Roman bathhouse but none of the forced viewing of a stranger's ladybits. It also helped that I was there late in the day, so I didn't have to share with anyone.
Anyways, if you have the money (or in my case, if you know someone who does) treat yourself here sometime. It's mind-meltingly relaxing.
