Toooo noisy.
inwas so excited to have received 3 treatments at the Agua and was looking forward to a princess day of full pampering. I had two therapists, both good (especially the masseuse Maite was really
good), but as i was justvdrifting off, I kept being disturbed by noise from the hallways. Chatter, laughing, loud gossip... And the music being played was not in the usual vein of spa music, we are talking fusion jazz and drums... Not exactly music that you doze off to, it was more like cocktail lounge music.. The staff at the reception were nice but totally not on top of things. The dressing room area is really small and offers no option For privacy. Lastly, there is only one bathroom..
Next time i spend that kind of money, it will not be at Agua, rather at the Biltmore...…
NEW AND IMPROVED!. I have been away from the spa at Delano for some time now, due to being out of town on business. When I arrived in January 2008 after not visiting for close to a year, I walked into this new AMAZING oasis of a spa. They have completely remodeled! Gorgeous, breath taking, a make-over that was much needed. (My previous experience was always excellent; the facilities just needed a little touch up to make everything perfect.) The staff remembered me when I checked in, which gave me such a warm welcoming feeling. I normally do not share my feed back on places I visit, but it would be selfish of me to keep agua a secret. I can go on and on how amazing my massage, facial, manicure and pedicure was, but I strongly recommend for all to experience. They are now a coed spa, which is great because we ladies can go in the evenings now. I will definitely be back to my home away from home!…
The emphasis is on meditation, yoga and relaxation at Delano's rooftop spa..
In Short
Aromatherapy candles, herbal tea and whitewashed walls--it's all very Zen once you sail past the downstairs gatekeepers. Align your chakras with breathing and exercise classes like
qi gong, Reiki or Thai bodywork. The Delano is also a celebrity hub--everyone from Claudia Schiffer to Madonna has lounged here. The usual shiatsu and deep tissue massages are available in small rooms divided only by white curtains, so you never know what you'll overhear.…
Change. Change is sorely needed here. The massage was ok (noisy area, but ok) The facial was a disaster. Is it too much to ask to have your blackheads removed? Is it too much to ask for a pleasant reply? The pool was the only really good thing about the whole experience.…
Cattle.
Rather than a warm and fuzzy feeling that I was expecting, my day at the Delano Spa made me feel like I was part of a herd of cattle. I was rushed to the lockers, called by the wrong name,waited for
fresh towels and then had a mediocre facial by a woman who couldn't wait to get me off the bed! It wasn't at all what I expected-
yet it certainly cost plenty.…
