Best spa!

Posted by daffy from San Diego, CA on October 17, 2007

We have stayed in many resorts and have found our favorite! most outstanding was the spa, the therapists there are incredible, and the atmosphere and amenities are beautiful. my husband and i got the best massages of our lives, and the body treatments were beyond wonderful. highly recommended!

The good and the bad

Posted by Jaoudi from Venice, CA on September 6, 2007

The good: spa services , pool and setting; dinner at the bluefire grill; architecture; the grounds; kid friendly; the chopra center; location is beautiful and convenient. the bad: moldy/musty rooms with misleading name "deluxe spa rooms" [make sure you get a newly renovated room]; legends cafe is mediocre; bell captains are slow and scarce; room service (time to wait is excessive); poolside service; food and cafe hours at the spa are underwhelming; can be too kid friendly.
