You are taken to the back by one of the employees who explains where the lockers are and then gives you a tour of all of the different water amenities that they have. I love the Jacuzzi with the cold plunge pool right next to it. I also do enjoy all of the different sauna steam showers that they have. The muscles there are awesome. I had a deep tissue massage this time which was amazing. I love that you're able to go to the pool and enjoy lunch while enjoying your spa services. I'll definitely be back.

The service here was pretty great, the concierge was wonderful and all of the people we came across…read morewere great. The facilities themselves were just okay. If you were traveling for work and staying at this hotel, and needed a day to just forget that everyone existed, this would be great for that. My friends and I flew down from Richmond during a crazy winter storm and decided to get a day pass here among other things. The day pass included spa access during their open hours, as well as pool access. Unfortunately, because of the unseasonably cool weather, the hotel had not opened the pool which pretty much made the spa the only option for anyone else who had purchased the resort pass too, and I'm just not sure the facilities were up to that task. The spa itself had a relaxation area, which was three lounge chairs in the room with a hot tub and a cold tub. In the room next to that, there was a dry sauna, a wet sauna, and a shower. I'm not a huge fan of the dry sauna, dry heat isn't really my thing, but I did rather like the wet sauna room. It was nice and large, and the hot steamy air felt great on my poor frozen winter storm lungs. The cold plunge pool is also not my thing, but the hot tub was awesome, but it had a couple of pretty huge problems. The first was that it was up a flight of stairs. Everyone in our party has limited mobility in some fashion and One of our party uses a walker and isn't super mobile at all, so it was very difficult to actually make it to the hot tub. Might have been nice to know it wasn't actually accessible before we booked the spa. Luckily, even though she isn't super mobile, she is able to haul herself very slowly up stairs, provided it has a nice sturdy railing... Which it did have a railing... unfortunately the railing was completely loose at the bottom and not particularly sturdy since it was only partially connected. It had stone steps, and due to the nature of the room, they were a bit wet so they had nonskid stickers on them, but it had unfortunately peeled up and was mostly loose. Ultimately, our friend ended up using us as the steady banister to get up the stairs, but that probably wasn't any safer since it wasn't like we had anything to hold onto because again... slippery stairs and loose banister. We made it up safely, and then try to get in the hot tub. The tub itself is square, has a ladder railing, but we couldn't actually see any ladder steps, so we kind of had to guess where was safe to get in the pool. Being the most mobile of the group, I ended up sitting on the edge of the tub and feeling around with my feet until I figured out that the tub has three walls with stone benches around it that we could step on and get in. We only actually figured out after getting out that the pool had sunken footholds in the wall, not an actual ladder. Never would have found those getting in, but learn from our ignorance. The hot tub is awesome, the jets were great and absolutely the thing we needed after the plane flight and freezing winter storms, but everyone else felt that way too, so we were unable to get back in it again like we would have liked. We ended up heading out earlier than we intended and just sitting outside for the rest of our stay. Overall, the place is small, which makes it hit or miss as to whether or not you can use the facilities, which makes it hit or miss as to whether it is a good value for the day pass. You may luck out, or you may strike out.

I booed this spa via resort pass and it was an incredible deal! 60 minute aromatherapy massage, beach chair with umbrella and valet included for $265 was really a great deal! If I went directly through the spa reservation, that treatment alone would have been $260. Lyly, was the young lady who confirmed my appointment and she was also the same personnel at the front desk upon my arrival. She was extremely warm and welcoming. She then led me to Brianna, who worked the spa area and she was incredible! These two girls were a 20/10 with the exceptional service and hospitality in which they provided. The treats and teas were an added touch to the experience. My spa specialist, Marli was nice also and I did fall asleep during the treatment so she nailed it. The beach was PACKED but it was nice with excellent staff and delicious food options. Valet was efficient and friendly. Thank God it was complimentary or that would have been $50 out of pocket. Yikes! Great experience and beautiful Easter Day at the spa and beach. Check them out and enjoy!

Cha-cha was definitely a five star masseuse. I took one star away because of the spa facilities, they are kept very clean, however, separation between rooms is very thin, and you constantly hear, squeaking and banging, which is not very relaxing. Also at the table where they offer fresh fruit, they had a pile of apples. It would be nice to have a platter with refreshed sliced fruit or at least some variety. Also, the initial locker I was given did not work so I had to spend time speaking with someone to be changed to one that's did.

If you go over 4 hours then you get charged the full fee $35 to valet. To get to the SPA you have to walk across the lobby and outside and across to the SPA check-in area. The changing area and sauna and one person steam room shower is located here. Then to get to the treatment area you have to walk back across the outside area and the front lobby through the area with guests and all their luggage to the elevator in your robe. This is not a great experience and you must repeat this step after your treatment. The relaxing area is nice and I was excited to find my favorite tea. They only had one China tea cup and the only other option was paper cups for the 5 people in that area. I got the tea cup for myself. I poured the water and the tea pot has cold water in it. I had to start over. The tea kettle was the cheapest Breville tea kettle with not temperature settings. The water got boiling hot but the tea is herbal, green mint or chamomile which doesn't get boiling water. Anyway it was too hot for the tea. My massage therapist was a bit late as they are the ones cleaning the area on the first floor but he apologized and said I still got my full massage time. I didn't mind that. The parking lot next door is under major construction and despite it being Sunday the noise was not massage friendly and I guess the massage rooms had no soundproofing. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are heated. After the massage they rushed us out of the lounging area. We went back down to checkout and get changed and ready for brunch. See the restaurant for the brunch experience.

There is a minimum spend requirement for the cabana, but it was super easy to hit between food and drinks. And considering you're paying for a dedicated space, service, and a prime poolside setup, it felt worth it. Overall, it was the perfect day to unwind and feel a little luxe. I'd definitely book the Ivy cabana again.

You'll often see people jogging, exercising, and enjoying the outdoors, which adds to the energetic South Beach vibe.

The massage area is designed beautifully with a "chic shipwreck" kind of feel with the wave breaking background noise, soft light, and decor. Maybe changing up the music every once in a while would be welcome but I think this is their brand. I will say the main reason I stopped my membership was the cost. To add deep tissue and other enhancements is $20 each on top of tip and the membership price. it was a worthwhile investment for my body for some months, but the pricing was too indulgent for my capacity.
