On August 20, 2008, we went to Landsdowne Resort. We really enjoyed this spa. After being able
to check in early, we enjoyed one of the 3 pools they offer for a few hours before our spa appointment.
When we went to our appointment we were directed into a nicely dimmed resting room to wait. We enjoyed a mixute of nuts and fruits, water and teas. The music was low and the lights dimmed with 3 lounge chairs about the size of a single bed. They were draped with blankets. There was other comfortable seating available as well.
When we were called back, we walked to a room that was a nice size to accommodate 2 people. We had two female masseuses for this experience. (keep in mind, we always get our massages together in the same room) This was the first massage I had in a long time. It was a little painful for me because I had so much built up tension. But when they were done with us, we could hardly walk out of the room. It was amazing how good we felt.
They then guided us back to the resting room, gave us warm water and had us lay down with the blankets and just relax. They said we were welcome to stay as long as we like. After relaxing for about 30 minutes we decided to venture into the saunas. They offer a wet and dry sauna and hot tub. If you do not have a bathing suit then just wrap a towel around you and enjoy!
We then enjoyed a great shower with all the girly things that you would need to walk out of there looking like a million bucks. No, they do not supply you with makeup but all bath products, combs, hair spray etc are at your disposal.
We spent almost 3 hours at this spa for what started out as a 50 minute massage. It was a great experience and we would definitely go back for the spa.
The hotel room however was not what we expected. We thought it would be nicer than it was. The hotel breakfast buffet was also something to be desired. For one night the cost of the room including taxes was $415.30 and included 2, 50 minute massages.
Overall, our rating of this spa experience was a 9.
