Not worth the money 10/7/2008

I recently visited this spa for a half day to relax and rejuvinate for my birthday. I researched several spas online, looking for a true day spa, not just a place that did all the treatments but an actual spa location. I was drawn to this spa becuase of the treatment explanations provided online and the pictures of the site. The facility was very nice and relaxing in and of itself, and I was expecting to be pampered and very relaxed and was instead disappointed. I should mention that the site does not offer a sauna, steam room or hot tub in the ladies room. There are individual saunas and tubs available for $25 each for a 15 min. time slot. Not worth the price at all! As for the treatments, my body scrub was okay, I liked the way my skin felt afterward but the experience was NOTHING like the water therapy or thermal grommage" that the website claims will follow the treatment. My massage with Natasha was very good, she was very professional and listened well to my needs and preferences. My facial was terrible. The esthitician was gruff with me and smelled terribly of cigarette smoke. It was hard to relax with the smoke smell coming out of her mouth with every breath as she stood above my head. Unlike most facials, which include a nice hand and foot massage, she skipped over that to leave the room twice, once for 10 minutes and once for 15, both times returning smelling even stronger of smoke so I assume she went out for a smoke break instead of giving me the massages. She did very lightly rub lotion on my hands for about 1 minute each, and gave a wimpy face massage for a few minutes with her long nails pushing into my skin. Not a relaxing treatment at all, and I can't even say that my skin felt particularly refreshed or better afterwards. This facial was NOT worth the $100 price tag at all! So of the three treatments, the massage was very nice but not worth the 45 minute drive there, and the scrub and facial were a disappointing. more
