FD: Spa guests are greeted and directed into a changing room, where they will be given a robe and a pair of spa sandals.

B: What should you do before you go into a treatment -- prep-wise?
FD: Before a spray tan, exfoliating your entire body is recommended
A warm shower before a massage help you relax.
Ask questions before getting your facial, after that, relax and enjoy.

FD: A very peaceful, well designed and tasteful decor, inspires a nurturing feeling, a sense of pampering and cocooning... It relaxes your body and mind and allows you to escape from the stress of your day .
