We decided to go to Agua Spa instead of having to drive 2 hours to Sedona. We wanted to stay local and save the time and apply it to shopping at Fashion Square instead.  

Pulling up to the Mondrian Hotel felt like I just left the west coast and entered Miami.  Everything was white and crisp.  We had to pass through the pool area and get cleared by the hot pool security guy like entering a VIP line at a trendy club.

Diffrerent from what I'm normally used to at S.F. Ritz Carlton, Agua Spa has a more modern boutique style.  I like how each room is provided with a private shower to make the experience more fluid.

Today Nayomi performed the AromaSoul body scrub and wrap.  Literally the best body treatment I've ever had hands down.  Most places after I leave, I feel like they missed a spot or the service didn't suffice to what I had expected.  

First, you get to choose which aromatic oil you'd like to be blended in with the scrub.  Next, you're scrubbed down using mild massaging strokes. I asked Nayomi to focus on a few areas and she was flexible to accomodate.

After the scrub, you walk over a few steps to the private shower which Nayomi started a few minutes ahead of time so the water heat is just perfect.  You're then rubbed down with theraputic oil and wrapped with two layers to enhance the hydration.  During this point Nyomi does a small facial massage.  She first asks to take a deep breath as she light masks my face with her hands lined with botanical aromatherapy oil. Then.... I fell asleep as she massaged away.

I was extremely happy with the service.  I would have given AGUA 5 stars. I gave it one shy because when I had called to book services the receptionist didn't know which facials provided extractions and it seemed tedious to get the information that I needed.

Manager Shawn was very pleasant and informative.  Jared performed my deep tissue massage. I keep alot of my stress in my neck, shoulders and upper back.  He really knew how to get into my deep knots and work them out.

Nayomi performed my facial.  She took a closer look and evaluated my skin to make sure that I chose the correct package.  We agreed on Pureness since I've had some congestion on my forehead lately and required some extractions.

The staff here take their work seriously and genuinely care about satisfying their customers' needs.  

Thanks Shawn, Jared, and Nayomi.  I'll make sure to call yo guys when I'm back in town...
