Clearly the raves on this board are driven by people somehow affiliated with this new attempt at a spa. What this place really is is a very high end old world Russian Bath House. This is not a spa! My experience was not relaxing in any way, as a spa would be. Rather it was invigorating. The lighting throughout is not soft and soothing, but bright and harsh. The Russian men who crowd this place on men only days are loud and rude- where is the relaxation in that? The staff is mostly young Russian girls that the older Russian men can ogle, while the male attendants are clueless as to how to tend to a man's needs. Take the showers. There are no large towels available when you step out. Only floor mat towels. Everyone was looking for large towels. And the large towels ran out in the locker room. When my attendant was showing me around he warned me that the Finnish sauna was ""really just for women"" because the heat wasn't harsh- meanwhile, there was a young gentleman sitting in the Sauna with a look of total embarrassment on his face- I felt terrible for him. Though the overall design is quite nice lets not fool ourselves and say this rivals a world class spa. Please. Burke Williams is nicer and everything there is faux paint and dirty water. The owner should take a visit to The Parker in Palm Springs to see what a world class spa looks like. So for those looking for a relaxing, beautiful spa experience look elsewhere. For those looking for an invigorating time surrounded by loud, non-English speaking people who keep running up to the smoking balcony- enjoy.
Pros: Excellent and unique facilities
Cons: Noisy, rude people, not relaxing at all
