What recent reviews say

Most clients praise the therapists' skill and the spa's elegant design, arriving ready to unwind. However, repeated complaints about noise during treatments, padded cleaning time deductions, and facility maintenance problems (pool grout, steam room, open doors) undermine that promise. Food quality and staff professionalism vary noticeably depending on the day and staff member you encounter.

Praised for
  • skilled, professional therapists
  • beautiful, well-maintained facilities
  • friendly, attentive staff

Watch-outs
  • noise and lack of peace during treatments
  • misleading treatment duration and deducted cleaning time
  • poor food quality and limited drinks menu
  • unprofessional staff conduct and rushed service
  • maintenance issues (pool, steam room, door seal)

Common questions

What happens to the time I pay for in a 90-minute treatment?
Around 10 minutes per treatment is deducted for 'cleaning time' (gowning, water offer), even when booking multiple treatments back-to-back. This deduction is often not clearly communicated upfront.
Is the spa quiet and peaceful?
Noise from staff conversations, banging, and other guests is frequently audible during treatments, which reviewers say detracts from relaxation despite therapists' skill.
What facilities does the spa include?
A heated pool, steam room, Rasul (body mud treatment) room, and massage, facial, pedicure, and manicure services. Food and drinks are also available, though recent reviews criticise food quality.
