Excellent Spa Break

informative tourkeyless lockcomprehensive treatmentrelaxing massage
I had a lovely afternoon tea following my treatment. The lounge and thermal suite tour was very informative. The locker was easy to use because of its keyless lock. Abbie gave me a comprehensive treatment discussion prior to my facial, head, and arm massage.
The thermal suite felt less relaxing because it was noisy and busy. It seemed like we were queuing to get into the thermal pool. The experience was broken due to this.
