Unfortunately, our experience at Nouvelle D'Sp Boutique in the Mall of San Juan was very…read moredisappointing, especially considering the price and the expectations we had.
For Christmas, I bought my wife a facial package that included several services for $275, including a glass of champagne. The intention was for her to have a relaxing, special, and truly pampering experience. That's not what happened.
From the beginning, the orientation was practically nonexistent. They didn't properly explain the process or what she was supposed to do. They simply told her to go into the sauna, without any further instruction. Upon entering, she realized that the saunas weren't separated for men and women. While she was in her swimsuit, a man entered wearing only a towel. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable. The man even started talking to her, when all she wanted was to relax and meditate. Because of the discomfort, she decided to leave the sauna before 10 minutes had passed.
Then she went to the showers, where she again encountered a complete lack of privacy: open and uncontrolled doors, making it possible for anyone to see her while she showered. She couldn't relax or feel safe. She had to shower in her swimsuit for safety.
The facial itself was performed, but the entire experience was already compromised. At the end, upon seeing the alcoholic beverages, she asked if they were included and was told they were. However, she was never offered the glass of champagne that was specifically included in the package and was one of the reasons she purchased this combo.
Overall, the service was cold and disorganized. No one guided her, no one attended to her with care or made her feel pampered. It was as if she had to figure things out on her own, instead of receiving personalized attention.
For almost $300, the experience was completely unsatisfactory. It did not live up to its promises or the level of quality and privacy expected of a place like this. I would not recommend it.
