text: Okthis is as good as it gets I am a certified spa junkie and have been to some of the best There is only other spa that is in the same league as The Spa at Encore and that is the Spa at The Mandarin Oriental in NY nnThe decor is pure over the top luxury Everything is oversized from the reception area to the multiple locker rooms actually divided into boutique sized rooms for an intimate feeling to the tranquility room that you can easily take a nap in Loved the steam room nice and HOT and dry sauna but my favorite area is the wet area complete with pools cold plunge warm hot jacuzzi and even hotter jacuzzi Both jacuzzis are as big as a pool you would have in your backyard and have little nookscubbies that embrace your body perfectly and you can lean back to be enveloped by the jets There are stone lounge chairs that are in the shape to hug your body and are covered in beautiful mosaic tiles The best part is that these chairs are heated and vibrate subtly for the ultimate in relaxation Couple that with the sound of the jacuzzi and showers and you are in spa heaven Next the showers in this wet area There are or individual showers here and of them have waterfall shower heads where the water literally pours out for a great water massage with the press of a button The other or showers are these amazing Kohler rain shower experiences complete with rain head on the ceiling and a multitude of jets on either side of the walls There is also a light and a digital display where you can change the water temperature light color music and water pressure The showers in the locker area are equally nice and each shower is sort of in it is own room for privacy nnOnce my therapist retrieved me from the tranquility room he took me into the treatment room area I was transported to Southeast Asia This area was huge with a long corridor flanked by larger than life Buddah statues and was just breathtaking I signed up for The Good Luck Ritual with Eric and this was one hell of a massage First the treatment room I had the choice of music selection and lighting color The table was heated and outfitted in cozy linens The treatment was a minute full body massage followed by a moisturizing face treatment scalp massage with wild lime oil and exfoliating hand and foot treatment wmassage for a total of minutes Eric was awesome and easily was one of the best massage therapists I have ever had He was intuitive and got right into my knots leaving me refreshed and renewed nnThe ultimate and while expensive totally worth it I was a new person
