Amenities & Features
About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa offers a Himalayan salt sauna and an aromatherapy steam room, which spa-goers describe as an invigorating and central part of the wellness experience. The thermal amenities are highlighted as a key feature, though guests have noted that the steam room has occasionally had a noticeable mildew smell. There is no mention of a cold plunge or specific contrast therapy protocol in the available feedback.
Atmosphere
The spa is consistently described as beautifully decorated, creating a luxurious and visually appealing environment. However, many guests feel the facility is on the smaller side and that the overall range of amenities is lacking. The hotel itself is noted for having clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere free from disruptive noise.
Pricing
Spa-goers report significant concerns regarding pricing transparency. A dynamic pricing model leads to higher weekend rates that are not always disclosed at booking. An automatic gratuity is added to services, which some guests find inappropriate. Additionally, there is an extra fee, reported as $150, for pool access on top of service costs, and the spa does not validate valet parking.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Many guests praise specific team members—such as Jendry, Johanna, Norman, Maria, and therapist Lacosta—for being amazing, fabulous, pleasant, and providing exceptional massage and facial services. Other experiences mention rushed front desk interactions, incorrect appointment details, a lack of orientation, and feeling upsold during treatments.
Additional Amenities
Amenities beyond the thermal suites receive negative remarks. The hydrotherapy shower has been found unclean, with reports of hair present. The requirement of an additional fee for pool access is a frequent point of criticism among guests who expected it to be included.
