Terrible experience with this spa. I booked and got confirmed for a couples massage but less than 24 hours in advance they cancelled the appointment saying it was booked wrong. They have no other appointments and ruined the 40th birthday celebration we had planned. This trash business doesn't deserve your money and I would avoid Ameristar completely. Guest services pulled the classic no one wants to work and then when I asked for a supervisor they lied to me and told me none were available. Turns out three seconds later he told me is the supervisor and they won't help regarding any of the business they allow to operate at their casino. Don't give people like this your money and we should have booked with Monarch.

My ideal relaxation scenario: a deep tissue massage coupled with hydrotherapy, and just chilling stress-free for a few hours - Ara Spa easily fulfills this request. The first visit wasn't as nice as the sauna and steam room were set at a temperature way too low. The second visit, they must have fixed the issue as the dry sauna was HOT and the steam room cycled like it supposed to. The whirlpool was never an issue, always the perfect setting. A bowl of cool eucalyptus soaked towels, located next to the resting area provided an excellent face aromatherapy in-between cycles. The use of these facilities are included with any spa treatment or a day pass can be obtained for $30 on Sun-Wed, and $50 on Thurs-Sat. This is their suggested routine: shower rinse away the day's stress 3 min steam purify your mind and body 5-10 min shock plunge in the cold shower 1 min sweat feel the heat in the dry sauna 5-10 min shiver refresh with a cold shower 1 min submerge relax in the whirlpool 10-15 min shower conclude with a warm shower I opted for the Rocky Mountain Ritual (after spending a couple of hours in hydrotherapy, of course), a 50 minute treatment that included an exfoliating salt scrub with a hydrating body butter mini massage application. An in-room shower allowed for the salt can be washed off after the scrub prior to the massage. The massage portion, though short, was one of the best deep massages I have ever had. I recommended to the front desk that this be offered as a 90 minute treatment, extending the massage portion for best results. There are snacks, fruits and tea for your enjoyment in the waiting room/lounge in front of a fireplace. I don't know if any spa in Black Hawk even comes close to this one. Check it out! ______________________________ Brochure and Pricing: http://www.ameristar.com/Files/BH_Ara_Spa_Brochure.pdf

Besides the restaurants here, this is the best part of the Resort, for me at least. I am not much of a gambler person, I'd rather spend my money here than the slot machines. It's kinda hard to watch your hard work earnings disappear in a min without any full enjoyment, not even a 5 min adrenaline rush. Lol. The services are a tad pricey, but so worth it. $50.00 just to have access to the spa, sooo you might as well spend money on an hour massage or any other services to have the access for free. :) Clean facility, great service and awesome staff. Lounge area, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room are amazing and all in one area. Cheers!

I was visiting my son & daughter in-law in Denver & we decided to go to Black Hawk & stay at the Ameristar Hotel.

My husband got me a body butter as a gift, i've otherwise never heard of this place. So after…read moretrying it over the past few months, I can confidently say this is the best lotion ever! I've never liked to use lotion because of the oily feeling left behind on my hands, or it feels like it just sits on top of the skin for an unnecessary amount of time. This lotion blows my mind! It has the perfect consistancy, doesn't feel oily or sticky at all. It immediately gives relief to dry skin, and soaks in perfectly. And mine smells great! (i'm sure all of the scents would smell just as great too!) So if you're reading this & you can relate to having terrible experiences again and again with body creams & lotions, this brand is the solution!

I can always appreciate a cute little soap shop. About a year or so ago, I stumbled upon a…read moreone-of-a-kind soap shop in Manitou Springs. This place in Idaho Spring can easily complete with that. The selection of the soap bars they carry here is pretty large. I took the time to smell each one. Some didn't look pretty on the outside but their appearances and their scents didn't match in a good way. Even dark brown ugly looking soaps had some wonderful smells to them. Don't judge the book by its cover they say; this adage apparently applies to soaps, too!!! Those mountain town folks that run small businesses such as this soap shop are very warm and welcoming. A kind lady meticulously put a little banner type wrapper on each of the soaps I brought to the register. I got me one with lemongrass scent and one with some grapefruit scent. Both of them looked so pretty, too. I started to use the grapefruit one immediately after I got home. The soap gave me some nice lather feel and it coated my hands with some lotion type effect. Their soaps are all hand-made in Colorado with natural or organic ingredients. Great place for gifts as well.
