We had a morning massage followed by a thermal journey of 3 cycles of hot and cold. I could had a…read morefew more cycles but we would have spent the whole day there which is not a bad thing at all. The facilities are modern and clean. Good secure lockers. Nice showers with I want to say mahogany floorboard. Bring a swimsuit and waterproof sandals. Towels are nice and fluffy, as well as the bathrobe. My massage therapist was excellent, I was a content , relaxed rubber noodle by the end of my session. For my "hot" I enjoyed the eucalyptus steam sauna (taking deep relaxing inhales), and the hot tub waterfall (spent several minutes with the water falling in my head which was very vigorous, then just tilt you head forward for a wonderful shoulder therapy). For my "cold", the cold plunge shower was amazing only needed the 20sec blasts, and the cold plunge tub just pinch your nose and fully submerge for 15-20 seconds. After all of that I grabbed a sofa in the resting area and just decompressed to process the entire morning. I hope to come back here every time I visit Montreal in the future

SCAM. UNSANITARY. OVERCROWDED. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED…read more This is NOT a luxury spa experience. There is 1 hot pool, 1 tiny cold plunge, 1 tiny steam room, 1 dry sauna. They allow way too many people in the thermal journey which ruins the spa experience. They do not provide spa slippers and allow customers to bring their own slippers, which could be dirty to walk around the inside of the spa. They charge you $40/slippers which is robbery. We got the duo massage which, for $500+ you'd expect a premium massage, but they hire inexperienced people who do not know how to do deep tissue massages. They increased the prices for special dates but also allow more people in, which defeats the purpose of increasing the price. MONEY HUNGRY scam artists. The bathrooms are consistently dirty, locker rooms crowded and only 3 showers and 3 toilets. This place is a JOKE. To top it off, I asked for some sort of compensation for the experience and the manager said they couldn't do anything about it. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN.

The price for entry is fine, but they will absolutely nickle and dime you for every add on and…read moreextra, but that's sort of to be expected from an attraction like this. Theres a quiet boat and a talking boat and my group tried the hot tubs and pools in both. It's very relaxing and I'm glad we went but I do wish there was an area where taking photos was okay so I could have taken some photos with my friends for memories. All in all I'd go back but do NOT forget flip flops because I went without and it was very very painful walking around on all of the mats between ships and I didn't want to pay $30 for a pair of flip flops. The restaurant could use some more vegan friendly options, but they had a gluten free menu which was nice for our friend that was Celiac. The portions were very small though so I left still hungry.

I've never actually been to a real spa before (I've had facials and massages but never a full…read morelike... spa experience) and so I figured while on my very snowy December trip to Montreal now was the time. The fact that this spa is on a boat and half of it was outdoors was the appeal! So we booked just the water circuit (no extras, just saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs) to see if this was even something we'd like. Turns out the December visit was the way to go! It wasn't packed at all, and turns out that sitting in a hot tub while the snow falls on your face is actually a top ten life experience. It was cold as heck out, mind you, but somehow you never feel chilly when you're going in and out of saunas and hot tubs. I did wish some of the relaxation rooms were a bit warmer, or there was an ability to swap out a soaking towel at some point, but I was never uncomfortable. Everything was clean and people around us were respectful. I loved the no phone policy and definitely chilled out to staring into this strangely brutalist bay. David Lynch relaxation vibes. The best was the floor where you could sit in a porthole window -- only wish we had discovered it earlier! I would totally come back here and check out some of their other offerings. Dunno, might even aim for a winter trip again because it was just that nice!

I visited Avanti last year, so I am late with my review…read more I had made appointments for a mani/pedi, and a hair cut/style. I arrived and we did nails first. My nails turned out great, no complaints at all. Very good work. When the nails were done, I went to the front desk to enquire about where to go for my hair, and they informed me that my hair appointment wasn't for another hour and a half. I have no idea why they booked it that way, and didn't inform me, but I had anticipated getting one done after the other. They were able to find an available stylist, so I was happy with that, having never been and not having a preference of stylist. My hair turned out beautiful, seemingly. I left the salon feeling very good. But after washing my hair the first time and styling it myself, I noticed that it had barely even been trimmed. I still had split ends. This was right before vacation, so I had no time to go back. Needless to say, I won't be back here for my hair.
