I booked a two hour appointment with a specific person, however on arrival I was placed with someone else. This was not communicated to me. The appointment was for 2 hours, however I finished 30min early. The massage portion was just okay unfortunately. I did request a firm massage and it was quite light and didn’t target the areas i mentioned - lower back/neck (was very brief and seemed routine). The good level of firmness applied was only brief and the rest was a lot of just rubbing which didn’t really do much in terms of relieve pain/muscle tightness. The girl I had was lovely and explained things well, this review is no reflection on her - more what just seems to be standard practice at the spa. I did mention the level of firmness once, however I expected the treatment to go on for longer and improve. Perhaps it was because the treatments were combined? But either way 30min early seems a bit much. For the cost ($185) of what ended up being ~70min in the room I didn’t find it to be particularly good. In my opinion it would also be good to invest in some softer towels without a pattern as the ones you have are quite hard and leave a very noticeable skin imprint when you get up, which isn’t ideal for when you leave.
