I came here with a friend for a spa day. At first I thought the prices were outrageously expensive, but when I realized what you are getting in return, it's really not unreasonable. Since we booked last minute I was only able to get a manicure. My friend had called a few hours earlier and managed to get a seaweed wrap.

What makes this spa amazing is that you can literally book the cheapest service they have and then spend hours here relaxing, drinking tea, sitting in the jacuzzi and just escape from the world for a bit. There is no time limit. My manicure was $50 and it included a hand, arm and neck massage and a paraffin treatment. For that price I got 3 hours of relaxation. First we hit up the gym in the spa, which is really small but it was nice to get a little work out in before the treatment. Then we relaxed in the tea room in our bathrobes drinking herbal tea and Illy coffee, fresh biscotti and fruit. Not once did I feel rushed even though I was only there for a manicure.

My manicure was very pleasant, though my esthetician wasn't the friendliest. She was pretty serious and militant, but I found that funny. Some woman started chatting on her cell phone and my esthetician gave her such a severe look I almost started laughing. The nail polish application wasn't the greatest. I have had better. But with the massage and the relaxation of the whole experience I felt like I got more than my money's worth. My friend said the seaweed wrap was beyond amazing.

Parking can be tricky in the area but you can get valet service for $15. It is totally worth the money... and your sanity. Next time I will make sure to book in advance and get a body treatment. I'd love to make this place a habit.
