My fiance treated me with a nice day at the Aliante spa -- I got the mani/pedi, full body massage, and a facial.
As far as the waiting rooms, I agree with the others that they were a bit small. I went on a Monday morning, almost nobody was there, so this wasn't an issue with me. Would be something to look out for if you are going at a peak time.
My full body massage was wonderful & relaxing. The massage included an essential oil and heated towels in the comfort of a cozy room. The woman who massaged me tailored to my needs -- she went pretty hard as I like deep tissue massage. If you're going to pick one thing, I'd say go for the massage.
This was my first time getting a facial, and it was interesting for me. The woman who did it was very kind and attentive. I was relaxed and my skin felt great afterward. I'm not sure how it compares to other facials as this was my first one.
The mani/pedi was very basic. They had a standard selection of colors. I was hoping to get french tips but they were $15 extra which I didn't think was worth it. Something that I didn't like was that the mani/pedi area was in the front desk/waiting room area, which was a little awkward.
Included with my trip to the spa was a pool pass for the day. I wasn't staying at the hotel (I'm a local) so this was a nice treat.
Overall I would recommend this spa! It was a calming and positive experience for me.
