Yesterday I attended an event at the spa and was leaa then impressed. What I pictured based on the description of the event and then once we got there didn't match. You paid $30 to attend the cocktail reception stated as having spa demonstrations, class demonstrations, access to spa amenities, pool etc. There were also to be light snacks and one complimentary drink. First, the parking is awful, it was insanely packed (found out after they had valet). You are supposed to arrive early to sign up for either a 5 minute chair massage or hand massage, if you didnt arrive early you lost out. The drink was a small glass of frozen wine, which tasty. There was one vegetarian option out off all the food they offered and it was a empanada. The only spa demonstration I saw was an eye treatment but that too required signing up for. I managed to get signed up for a hand massage which was comprised of a spritz of something in the air and a therapist who applied lotion to both arms and hands, then was done. I didn't come across any other demonstrations, classes, amenities (unless the free citrus water counted). They did allow access to the outdoor pool which was tempered nice. But basically I traveled an hour and paid $30 to drink frozen wine, have hand lotion placed on me and use of their pool. The staff that was working wasn't very warm/welcoming where even that would be an incentive to return. They did give away about 5 gifts thru a raffle at the very end of the event. They had gift bags at the end of the night, which contained 2 small samples like what you'd get at the cosmetic counter in the mall. Would I recommend this if you weren't staying there, no. Otherwise its a basic spa from what I could see. Not worth an hour drive or the $30 I paid for the event.
