Review content:
I had to come back here and write a review bc the hater review from "don't bother" almost kept me away... I had read it before my trip, but ended up staying at the hotel by a coincidence where this Spa is located- My room was a few doors down from the Spa office. I actually planned on avoiding it bc and am so glad I didn't. I feel I must fairly redeem this gem, hidden off the beaten path. First of all, they have to be the nicest ladies on the island. You know how healers have that glow? It's not like a stuffy stiff uniformed place.. it is laid back... island style.. feels real instead of that salony feel. I would pass the office on the way to my room as smell lavender, lemongrass, and eucalyptus waifing through the air... I saw one of the treatment rooms- which were HUGE- local paintings on the wall, candlelit, totally boutiquey artsy. I went to my room and canceled my massage at a place I had dropped by earlier downtown with great reviews and rude people, dinky rooms-that looked like home depot decorated them-meh. I went back and reread the review from my phone on this place and realized they it was rated as filthy and rude people by someone who had never even stepped foot in the place. In fact, they only left a message, and after reading that they were called back at their home, my guess is that they only gave them their home number...whatever, doesn't matter except, I had believed it and almost missed a cool little island sanctuary... so knowing that-I wanted to take time to write a review based on something real- So I gave it a try and I was rewarded with seriously the most amazing spa treatment I have ever had. I ordered the StressBuster, great price, actually it was a better treatment and price than the one I ditched so that was a plus too- 80min of bliss- you have to try to peppermint scalp treatment is the bomb!...Next time, I would like to spend some time looking at their packages... I noticed the web address is wrong on this listing- their address is www.spaatcatalina.
I am going to come back to the island just for the massage. If you come to stay at the Catalina Canyon hotel, book one of the Spa Rooms, it has a gigantic tub. Next trip, I am booking a massage for my husband to go with me bc the room is super large, all magically lit with little starry lights, candles, pure aromatherapy... and this giant shower for two people. I was bummed I didn't get to share the experience with him. I realized, watch out for bum reviews.. it almost seems like some one would have had to make that crap up-- I can not imagine anyone normal saying anything but angry people's energy goes a long way to mess a place up- I almost wondered if a competetor wrote the review as I did not run into really accommodating spa energy downtown.. but whatever-no loss because I found this place. Hope you do too.
