Alfredo is an excellent masseuse, has a healing touch. The grounds are immaculate and so is the locker room. Nicely appointed with towels, water, combs, Qtips etc. Had delicious fish tacos at the restaurant. Only suggestion would be privilege to exit to eat and re-enter. Makes for a shorter enjoyment time.

What a great experience. I am a little particular when it comes to Spas so giving this a 5* was not without some thought. From ease of booking, checking in to our departure the experience was great. I went with the monthly special which included the facial, body treatment and massage, all in all about a 2 hour experience with time in-between to use the spa facilities. Pros: 1. Facial was wonderful. Christine was pleasant, professional and talked you through every step of the process and the treatment. I came away feeling like my face was transformed even though I take very good care of my face on a daily basis. 2. Spa area was kept clean, and is what I would expect of a classy spa. Brandon helped get settled in, made sure refreshments were available and towels were constantly available and made me feel a welcomed guest throughout the time. 3. Tanya was very professional, knowledgeable and attentive to requested pressure on the message and treatments. 4. Finished with a cup cake and a glass of champagne Cons: 1. I do like a dry sauna, but the facility (at least in the met area) only has a wet steam room. This however is not a deal breaker, but a preference.
