My husband and I paid $115 each, plus an additional $17 fee, for a two-hour spa experience. Overall, we had a pleasant time. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service.
That said, the amenities felt more like a glorified swimming pool with a sauna and hot tub rather than a full spa experience, especially considering the price. While it was relaxing, I didn't feel it offered exceptional value for the cost.
Overall, a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

The hot tub and pool were very nice. Lots of fresh towels. Toilets and change rooms were immaculate and had lots of toiletries available for use. They had hair...read full review
