Very nice place but lacked communication right from the start, I had issues finding the reception office, the people out front only said around the stair case.
I wandered around and found centro lounge an the joya spa, I didnt have a room I went as a day break away from home, so when I went up to the front desk of the spa the gentlemen looked me up but didn't give me any further information no voucher for lunch which was part of my Unwind package my husband paid for.
He gave me and a few other ladies a tour upstairs but after that my experience got worse, they assigned lockers told us how to use the lockers but didnt give us a tour to where to go, where the toilets where, nothing. I had to find things myself and this was my first time there which made me feel so uncomfortable. There wasnt anyone to talk to, the staff was stocking and doing their jobs but very quite and fast paced.
My massage was great, my facial was great, but after my facial no one came to talk to me and I wondered what was next, so I went to the Whisper room to relax since no one approached me.
I got hungry so I started to look for the Terrace for lunch, I stopped a lady restocking the gym with towels and asked her where it was, and she told me it was closed till summer. So I went to the reception desk and they said they have nothing for me, he called the joya front desk to ask if he can make a voucher for me, so then I had to go back to joyas front desk for my voucher, told me where it was expected but didn't show me on a map, I knew where centro was because it's right next to joya but not the other location.
I got to the Centro lounge around 12 pm it was packed inside, the lady I spoke wi th didbt even suggest I go to the other restaurant so I had to sit in the high wind and cold OUT SIDE just after my massage and facial, which left me.cold and shivering. It took 15 minutes for me to get a menu, I had a coughing attack during that time because of the cold weather, during that time No one came out to take my order, It took a additional 15 mins to get my oder taken and food delivered, my mani & pedi was scheduled for 1pm I had to scarf my food and drink and waited 5 mins by that time it was 12:45p for some one to come out and see if I needed anything else, which no one came out to even ask that WHILE I was eating. I got up and headed inside only to be greated by the server who took my order, I went inside to pay for my drink, gave a 20 and had to wait for my change because they didn't have change, by the time I left centro I had barely 5 minutes left to spare.
The nail lady greeted me, Connie was outstandingly awesome, she was my nail lady for my mani & pedi but my manicure is peeling already,I lost two nails already as they peeled off.
My pedi was nice, even tho she messed up my big toe by rubbing it to hard, she tried to fix it but you can still see the imperfection of her finger print in it.
The Stylist was wonderful, I have to say she was the best one I have EVER had. She took what I asked and told me the perfect shape for my hair and helped me out with everything else I asked. She was simply splendid.
I'd say that needs work is the communication and better notifications if places are closed off. I was suppose to have lunch on the terrace and wasnt told anything about it being closed.
My lunch at centro was like eating at taco bell, not aspecial experience at all.
Sadly I wont be going back here, because of how uncomfortable this experience was for me. The lack of care for a person who was there their first time an lack of communication was the reason I redid my review, gel nails should not be peeling 4 days, I get better gel nails from the nail salons that messed up my feed and nails. I am shocked to be honest. With the reviews of this place I thought I would have had a better experience.
