This place is such a locals joint that I've walked by the spa a hundred time going to see a movie. But because of the 20% locals' discount they offer and because we needed a little spa time, we came here. Wow.... how delightful! My hubby and I did the \"Private Party\" for $350. We arrived 45 minutes before our appointment with our swim suits in hand. At check-in, we were escorted to separate lounges to change into our attire. From there we were joined again in the co-ed couple spa which was a giant hot tub, sauna and steam room. There were a few other couples there but we kept to ourselves. We relaxed in this area with free juices, some apples, water and free espressos (out of a machine). There were magazines for us to enjoy as well but we kept to dunking ourselves in the hot water and rotating through the sauna and steam rooms.\n\nThey came and fetched us at our reserved time and took us to a private massage room with two massage beds and a giant glass shower with steam area. They gave us a heart-shaped dish with sugar scrub and 3 different clays to smear onto our bodies. The attendees left the room explaining they'd be back in 20 minutes to remind of us our massage schedules by blinking high and low the lights to the room. The room itself was dimly lit with twinkly LED lights that are in the ceiling. Atmospheric Asian inspired music played in the background which was soothing and not a distraction.\n\nWe disrobed and entered into the shower and scrubbed the first layer of skin off each other with the sugar scrub. After a rinse off, we slathered on the different muds on our face and our bodies. The shower has at least 12 different heads where the water comes out of and it's a bit like being in a water fight and not being able to open your eyes if you're face the wrong way. Within the shower there is yet another glass door that leads to a small 2 person bench that you can sit in the steam and let the mud do it's work on your skin. We saw the lights flicker in the main room and knew it was time to rinse off again.\n\nWithin minutes we climbed into the massage table beds and the attendants were back to give us each a 50 minute massage. The massages were Swedish style and though I didn't fall asleep, the massages were quite good. They really cover you with lots of layers blankets so if you're at all self-conscious about your body, you don't have to be. Personally I felt like the masseuse was spending too much time searching for my limbs to prepare for my massage each time she rotated around the table. But I guess that's standard procedure for this spa.\n\nAfter the massages we were invited to return to the couples area with the giant hot tub, sauna, and steam room. Instead I opted to return to the women's locker room/ lounge and shower again to remove all the oil that was rubbed into my hair during the massage. There were 8 showers in the women's locker room and each room had a different scented product for the hair and body. Cute idea.\n\nThe few hours we spent in the spa were well worth the $280 we spent. The 20% discount we received basically went straight back to the tips we gave our masseuses. We'll be back again to try another couples' service.
