Wow, what a true oasis in the desert...the Spa at Green Valley Ranch was such a wonderful way to celebrate my belated birthday along with my best friend's birthday. The spa is located in the same area as the casino pool. A lush environment surrounded by beautiful fresh flowers and even grape vines covered with grape leaves, definitely a sight to behold.
Now there was a slight hiccup when we arrived to check in. Apparently the call center that books the treatments is in charge of both Green Valley Ranch and Redrock Spa, so when we arrived 10 minutes before 10am we were told our appointment could not be honored because our appointment was mistakenly set for Redrock and there were no available appointments for the two us of until 2pm. The lady working at the front desk assured my friend she would not be charged for Redrock as she would call there and explain there was a mistake with the call center and that she would ask her manager if they could give us a discount for having to push our appointments to 2pm, in the end they gave us 30% off our treatments. (later in the evening she saw there was a charge from Redrock for $175, she had to call today to see about getting it taken care of.) Luckily with our schedules we were able to make it work.
It was my besties treat, and we were looking to do a spa day at a few other casinos. Just a few days ago, she was gifted a massage here at Green Valley Ranch and loved how nice the spa was, so we decided to come here. I didn't know what to expect, but upon entering I was delighted to see how beautiful it was inside! There was beautiful spa music playing all throughout the beautiful women's locker room, the women's lounge area with hot water and different teas, juice and water bottles in a mini fridge, delicious snacks. I was thoroughly impressed, and excited for a day of relaxation. The spa provides shampoo, conditioner, body wash and shave lotion in the showers. They have q-tips, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, razors if you need as well as hair gel, face and body lotion. The vanity area has hair dryers, and curling irons, and there are flat irons available if you ask.
The women's jacuzzi was inoperable at this time, so once you exit the women's lounge there is a co-ed jacuzzi you need a swimsuit for, and all the treatment rooms are in this area. We showered first (LOVED the eucalyptus spray in the shower which turns your shower into a sauna, loved it so much we each purchased one as we were leaving for $31) then we headed to the hot tub, then both of the saunas, then to have some tea and snacks before our treatments. Now, onto my service. When we checked in I asked for the best...and I TRULY feel I got that. I was absolutely blown away by how wonderful my massage was. Roxanne was such an expert, I told her my neck and shoulders were my trouble areas and she worked such magic to melt all tension away, and even found the other areas that were bothering me but I forgot to mention, and I could literally feel the powerful healing energy in her hands as I gratefully received from her. I was able to go deep into my massage and relax in such a way that this busy mama of 3 NEEDED! I didn't want the 50 minutes to end, but I felt throughly satisfied with what she provided and I'm still floating writing this review. My bestie had a facial this time since she booked a massage a few days prior, and she really loved how knowledgeable her esthetician was. She was so happy for me, as I shared that this was seriously my best professional massage I've received. I was wowed and she was wowed for me! I don't know how it happened but we never had to wait for anything, the showers were always free, and each time we went in the saunas we were the only ones in it, even though the spa had quite a few people going in and out for their services. We only had two others in the jacuzzi with us for a few minutes, other than that it almost felt like we had the spa to ourselves! We decided to enjoy the saunas some more, then took our time showering before sitting at the vanity area to get ready to leave. It was truly such a lovely experience, I found myself getting excited at the idea of bringing my husband back to enjoy the locals discount (they offer on the weekdays) so we can enjoy some rest and relaxation together and so I can get another massage from Roxanne. I'm not even kidding guys, she has found her gift, and what a treat for me that I found her! I'm making this a 5 star review even though the whole thing with check in could have gone smoother, the 30 percent off our services was appreciated, and honestly everything else was so amazing and I will definitely be back! Thank You so much to the Spa at Green Valley Ranch, I feel so grateful to be able to indulge in such wellness just a couple days before thanksgiving! Be Well and Merry Everyone.
