The only reason we visited this spa was because we were given a gift card to it. From booking to…read moretreatment, everything was just lacking. We had an extremely difficult time booking an appointment. It took about a month of calling before we finally got someone on the phone. We booked the "Couples Prestige Pedicure" which is advertised as taking 70 minutes. My fiancé's pedicure was 45 minutes and mine was just under an hour. Overall, my pedicure was very minimal--very little callous/dry skin removal. She applied exfoliating scrub, but just quickly and gently pushed it around before washing it off so it was pointless. An hour after my pedicure, I checked my heels and they were still dry/cracked. My fiancé's pedicurist did a better job--she is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. After tax, the total for the two pedicures was $215. They did not allow us to use our gift card to tip, even though we had just the right amount left on it, which seems ridiculous. The store shouldn't require you to supplement with your own cash when you've received a gift! Even if you can afford a $100+ pedicure, I don't know why you would choose to get it done here. Your run-of-the-mill strip mall nail salon will do a much better job with better results for 1/3 of the price.

After being greeted, I changed my shoes for a pair of sandals and changed into a bathrobe. Then, I soaked my feet in lavender scented warm water with rose petals, while sitting on comfy pillowed seats. They checked to make sure the temperature was right. Alas, after a few minutes, my massage therapist greeted me and guided me to a private, candle lit room for my massage. My goodness, the massage was heaven! I've been there twice, and every since, I've become highly opinionated about how my massages should feel like. It's truly hard to find good masseuses, and The Waters hires the best. Upon leaving, I also completed an anonymous survey. They take their customers' feedback very seriously. During my second visit, I noticed they implemented my suggestion. I haven't found a spa as great as this one - truly, you are getting what you pay for. I've been to cheaper spas, and it's not the same experience. Too bad it's so far away from me :(

She is a genuinely a delicate, yet grounded spirit. - There were lockboxes to tuck your things away in and you are given the key, so you don't have to stress about your belongings. You are given a big, soft blanket to cover yourself with and a towel is placed on the head of the reclining seat for hygienic purposes. - The room was small and clean, but comforting. The salt grains on the floor are about the size of a dime. The walls are covered in salt and there's lights behind several salt art pieces. There's a small TV that I didn't use, but I assume it would play nature scenes. There was also quiet, rhythmic music playing in the background. With the start of your session the ceiling lights temporarily turn on and the salt machine starts releasing the particles. It creates a quiet hum like a ceiling fan in summer that lulls you to sleep. For the first half of the 45 minute treatment I took a nap, and for the second half I laid down the blanket and did some much-needed stretches on the floor. - I had just been on bed-rest for the past 3 weeks due to recovery from a very intense procedure, and I could feel phlegm backing up in my throat as a result of a 24/7 horizontal position. It was giving me a minor cough and shortness of breath when exercising. I could physically feel the difference during the experience of my airways opening up and I am finally able to take full breaths again! Yay! 100% would go again and am curious how the reflexology massage is. Ppp00ppp
