What is the sentiment of the following review?
Yes, this spa is probably pricey compared to other places, but it's in a nice hotel with a certain type of clientele I'm sure. But I guess maybe because I'm from LA and going to Glen Ivy and Burke Williams has spoiled me for the cheaper places? I expect not only the service but amenities as well. I want it to be a day of pampering. I took my bestie out for a spa day since she really needed one. I booked my massages and pedicures over the phone from LA. The lady that helped me on the phone gave me a few helpful tips. They have a "couples massage package" that has a scrub and a massage, but she told me how that one worked, and being that yes you get to be in the same room with your friend, mom, daughter, partner but one does the massage while the other has the scrub and then you switch. Yes it's a cheaper package, but if we get our own massages, they can set it up to be at the same time and adjoining rooms. Okay - thanks for the heads up! I also had to move the day last minute due to some scheduling problems with my bestie, but we were able to easily reschedule luckily. We arrived for our massages probably about 10-15 mins early. We were hoping for a little more time, but after going to lunch it just got a bit closer than planned. We were greeted at the front desk and we were told to head downstairs and an attendant will help us once we got there. Once we were downstairs, the guy down there called up a female attendant so that she could show us around the women's spa area and gave us our slippers. I have to say, for someone who's been to quite a few nice spas, this was more or less par for the course. Extremely clean. Plenty of towels available. I did wish there was a hot tub in the area like in most spas, but there was multiple dressing areas with lockers (that had robes waiting for us), showers, a sauna and a steam room, plus the waiting area that had an assortment of teas, coffee, water with cucumber or fruit or plain water plus a nuts/dried fruit mix and a mix of chips for us to eat. I think there were also apples. We waited for our massages (which were 80 mins aromatherapy massages that were at a discount because they were the special promotional ones for the Thanksgiving holiday) and our massage therapists came to get us. Come to find out now only were the rooms next to each other, it kinda was like having a "couples" massage anyways because the adjoining rooms actually had a door with sliding doors so it because one big room anyways. We thoroughly enjoyed our massages and when we were leaving, our massage therapists were there for us with water and three roses a piece. It was very special. Back to the waiting area for our pedicures. We stopped by the sauna on the way to relax a bit since we had about 30 mins before we needed to be "picked" up by our pedicure ladies. Our pedicures were nice. Since it was also put as a "couples" pedi, we were sitting next to each other with a nice view of the pool area and the golf course. The ladies doing our pedicures were super nice and friendly. We had a great time over all. Yeah, we could have paid less to a day spa elsewhere and a pedicure elsewhere, but we were there to have a spa experience, and we were able to have our nice girls day out.
