My husband and I booked the double your leisure package during our recent honeymoon. Let me say this, the buildings and grounds of Solage Spa are breathtaking. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by a young gentleman who showed us around. Just to be clear..all of the staff were friendly and we felt right at home.
The package included lunch at Sol Bar, a one hour couple's massage, and a one hour mudslide treatment. The gentleman instructed us on how to use the lockers, which had a robe and slippers. If you need a different size, just ask them at the desk. They are more than happy to accommodate. They gave us a glass of champagne to start off our day due to it eing our honeymoon, which was super sweet.
Our first activity was lunch. We went in our robes.The package includes a non-alcoholic beverage, and an entree, however you can add on additional items if you choose. Solbar was beautiful! The interior was open. I had a chicken sandwich, and my husband had the burger. Both were more than filling, and delicious.
We had a little time before our massages, so we sat in beautiful heated waiting area. There are two, one outside of each locker room, so there was plenty of seating. It started raining while we were waiting. The grounds are mostly outside, however, when our massage therapists came, they had umbrellas with them.
The massages were amazing, and relaxing. The rain added to the relaxation. It was one of the best massages that I have ever had. I did not feel rushed like I read in a prior review. When you schedule, you can choose if you would like a male or female masseuse.
After our massages, we had some time, so we went into the heated mineral pool. It was raining a little bit. While I was waiting for my husband, I sat under one of the cabanas for shelter. One of the staff members came by and told me (politely) that they had a cabana on the end for everyone when it rains, and I was welcome to rent one for $20/hour. I get it, however it was raining, and not exactly bustling with business that day. I just felt it was uncecessary. They knew that I was there for my husband, and for what we paid, if I want to stand under a cabana while it is raining... let me stand there for 5 minutes.
Either way, the pool was amazing. It was warm, and you can feel the minerals doing their thing on your skin. They also have clothing optional mineral pools that are private that you can use.
Next was our mudslide treatment. It was cool because you get to choose what type of mud/clay that you want, and the essential oils that they mix it with, along with the mineral water. I chose the stress relief, which had lavender. My husband chose something for muscle relief. Once the mud was mixed, we headed into the private heated mudslide room. You basically apply the mud onto your body, you can even cover your face. Then you lay there and let it detox. You can either lay in the middle of the room. They also have chairs on the outdoor patio. After about 20 minutes, the staff member knocked on the door and told us to rinse off. They had shower heads in the ceiling where you can lay down and let it hit you. They also had a traditional shower, a handheld, and one on the patio. It was pretty cool. The next step is to go next door to soak in a mineral bath. They give you sea salt to put both in your water, and to use as a scrub. The tubs we deep, and the room was heated. It felt amazing. After 20 minutes the staff member knocked and moved us to the next stage, which was the zero gravity chairs. I fell asleep for a couple of minutes, and it was relaxing. They basically give you headphones which play the same spa music, just a little louder.
By the end of our treatment, we both felt great, and relaxed. It truly was amazing. Why 1 star removed? They charge a $30pp fee to use the facilities for the day. I just feel that this is excessive when we were already paying for a package. Solage is not the cheapest spa in town either. I feel that they should either lower it (It is $50pp on the weekends), or charge 1 per couple. It is just kind of like going to starbucks, and having to pay to buy coffee there. It just did not sit well.
Other than that, it was a great way to spend the day with my husband, and the spa really is beautiful. I am sure we will return on our next trip. Thank you for an amazing day!
