We visited this spa on my birthday, 30 June, for a couples massage session. The massage itself was lovely and the premises are undeniably beautiful. However, the overall experience left much to be desired.||After our massage, we had trouble making payment due to our bank not being notified in advance that the card would be used abroad. While we were calmly resolving the matter, the woman assisting us—presumably the receptionist—began to behave in a way that was extremely off-putting. She wasn’t outright rude, but there was a clear air of superiority, as if she believed she was somehow above us. It made the situation feel unnecessarily uncomfortable and unwelcoming.||For me personally, I don’t mind. If I’m treated poorly, I simply won’t return—but what bothers me is the principle. Some people save for months, even years, to enjoy an experience like this. Whether they arrive dressed in designer clothing or casual holiday wear, whether they are wealthy or not, they deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as anyone else. Nobody is better than the next person—especially not a receptionist working in hospitality. That kind of attitude is poor form.||To add to the disappointment, as we were leaving, my partner tried to have a quick look at the pool area out of curiosity and appreciation for the space, and he was immediately told, “No, no, you can’t go there,” because it was “only for guests.” Again, not rude in tone—but unnecessarily dismissive and unkind.||I’ve been to many spas, both locally and abroad, and this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this. The energy and attitude we were met with after what was meant to be a relaxing celebration truly took away from the experience.||Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this spa despite the beautiful setting. A service-oriented business should know that how people are made to feel is just as important as the services they pay for.
