After researching and calling around to different spas comparing day packages, The Spa at Rock Barn seemed like the most bang for our buck. The booking process over the phone was smooth and simple. They charged half of the total price upon booking, and the other half when we left the spa the day of our visit.
We purchased the day pass for $200 a person which included a Salt Cave session, Spa lunch, Chocolate Covered Strawberries and two beverages with all day access to the pool, hot tubs, steam room and hot sauna. Upon arriving, the sign in process was quick and we were greeted with complimentary glasses of champagne. We were also provided with robes and unlimited towels to use that day. The spa also gave us goodie bags with a koozie, a scrunchie, toothpaste, a stress ball, and more! There were lockers to store our things and in the locker room there were complimentary supplies to take including cotton swabs, hairbrushes, deodorant, hairbows, make up wipes and even hair tools to use.
We started with the Salt Cave session, which was relaxing, but we prefer the Himalayan Hideaway Salt Cave in Winston-Salem. One of the zero-gravity chairs in the room was broken, so our group ended up moving to the other side. In the main Hydrotherapy Circuit area, there was a big pool, a large hot tub with jets, two waterfall hot tubs, and a cold dip plunge. They also have a hot tub outside. For it to be a Friday, it was not busy at all. There were multiple times where our group of three were the only ones in the pool. We had no problem finding chairs inside or in the smaller outdoor area for sunbathing. All the staff were so nice and attentive. We were constantly offered samples of smoothies, ice cream, and snack mix. Watermelon slices, cool peppermint towels, and water refills were also constantly provided. The staff took our drink and food orders from anywhere, even when we were in the pool. Our absolute favorite part of our experience may have to be the underwater music in the pool. It was such a relaxing and surreal experience to float, listen to the relaxing instrumental tunes and look out of the windows on the ceiling.
For her birthday, one of the members in our group got to choose a complimentary glass of champagne or a slice of cheesecake. All the alcoholic beverages we ordered did not take long to come out & were all so refreshing, flavorful and nice sizes! We were in awe at each dish we saw come out of the kitchen because they were all so big and looked so good. Two of us got the sous vide chicken sandwich which was so large and pretty good. It could have used a little more flavor and perhaps more sauce. The other member of our group got the chicken salad sandwich, which was great. The potato salad was just okay and the side salad with ranch was good.
We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone and hope to one day return! read more
