As part of my ongoing "Treat Yo Self 2015" campaign, and coinciding with a serendipitous business trip, I made a day trip out of going to Ten Thousand Waves. Many friends recommended at least checking out the communal baths (one low rate gives you access to them, as well as a few other amenities). I took a taxi from town (a shuttle service between TTW and, say, the Plaza would be perfect - I ended up spending about $40 for the round trip). Once I arrived I opted to get a Japanese organic massage facial and also the CryoStem cell treatment. The staff was very professional. My aesthetician, Fatimeh, was friendly and gentle, even when dealing with my jacked up upper back and during extractions. She explained all of the steps she took and gave clear instructions on how to maximize my treatments effects. The communal women's bath was so peaceful. It comfortably fits seven, so be prepared for a little (clothes optional) crowding. Make sure to check out the restaurant nextdoor. The food is excellent and can be scaled up our down to meet your needs. My only qualm with the restaurant was the bizarre machine/construction noises coming from the kitchen, which you might not hear if you aren't seated along the side of the bar (which has the best view!).
