The 28,000-square-foot full-service spa, fitness facility and salon offers an Olympic-sized pool with private cabanas and balconies off treatment rooms for outdoor massages.

Diamonds and Gold not included!

by camille2323

In quick.$55 Manicure and $85 pedicure that could be done anywhere.nothing special at all! The women were rude and had no idea what a smile was or where to find one. At the end of our surprise bill of $280 (no tip included) we got this comment exactly from the girls at the front desk, We joke about it all the time that they are too expensive, we wouldnt get our nails done their either! Then they go one to tell us where we should have gone. Not exactly what you want to hear at the end of a service! So sure our nails and toes were done at the end of the day, but they were still only coated with regular polish.NOT DIAMONDS OR GOLD!

• Pros: no kids, pool
• Cons: expensive, bad attitude, sarcastic
