What a GLORIOUS way to spend an afternoon!!!
I should start off by repeating, though, what others have said. I tried calling and leaving a message, with no one answering and no call back. So, my husband and I walked over to the hotel (we were not staying at the Aria) to book a couples' massage directly with the desk staff. They were able to fit us in the next day, on a Friday, for an 80-minute couples' massage.
We came two hours early to enjoy the amenities. In the women's locker room, there are three tubs: one cold and two hot. I think they said the hot ones were different temperatures, but I couldn't tell the difference. There is also a redwood dry sauna and a eucalyptus steam room.
As for the bathing amenities, there are several shower stalls with soap/shampoo/conditioner/shaving cream, many many lockers, sinks with free toothbrushes, mouthwash, hair ties and bobby pins, hairbrushes in antiseptic, an area to dry/iron/curl your hair or do your makeup, etc.
The co-ed areas include an infinity pool (bring your sunglasses!), a lounge area, and two meditation rooms.
There are small bottles of water or gingerale throughout the locker area, as well as tea and some small snacks.
I would definitely suggest that you come at least two hours early to enjoy the amenities, and if you're able to spend time after your masssage or facial, to stay longer as well. My massage was toward the end of the day, so I only had about 20 minutes afterward to use the amenities again. I could have easily used another hour AFTER my massage to fully relax some more!! If you're a "spa person," like me, two hours before and one hour after your massage would be heaven. And PLEASE--for the price you're paying, take advantage!!! My only wish would be that they were open later in the day/evening!!!!
My massage was very nice. I was thoroughly relaxed, although my massage therapist didn't totally listen to the areas I wanted focus on/areas to ignore. But it was a good massage.
My husband, unlike me, is NOT a "spa person," and he found the afternoon to be a waste of time and money lol. You're either going to like it or you won't. I loved it!
