Booked a massage here on our last trip and it was awesome. I had the men's area all to myself at 11am on a Thursday. I spent about an hour going from the hot tub to the sauna to the steam room and back before the appointment. The spa has all of your usual ammenities, water, juices, fruit, grooming products.

I had an 80 minute personalized massage where I explained to the therapist that I have had lower back issues for years and for the last couple of months have been waking up with a sore back every morning. She got to work and told me that my upper middle back had very deep tightness. So I guess she did a little deep tissue which I absolutely hated. I swear because I am a big, fairly muscular guy, everyone thinks they have to completely jam their elbows into my back. It was pretty painful but I have to say that I could not complain with the results. My back felt pretty good for the rest of the day and the next morning I woke up without back pain for the first time in months. I guess she knew what I needed.
