点评:I was expecting a relaxing luxury experience at the Gaia spa, as I had heard so many good things about it.
I do have MS and mobility issues which I advised on booking however i was not aware of the large number of steep stairs that I would be required to go up and down multiple times during my visit, the small lift was broken. This caused me a lot of pain and distress however it was laughed off or ignored whenever I mentioned the issue.
My friend and I had a whole day package including a hot stone massage, this experience was amazing, the afternoon tea was superb ,these were the highlights,
However there were a lot of negatives.
The spa reception gave very little information, we were allocated small lockers that were ridiculously high and difficult to access. The only area we were shown was the pool, it was unbearably hot in there , a lot of people, far too many for the space were constantly coming in, there are only about a dozen seats/ beds to go around and this was causing friction.
We did get a bed as we had arrived early in the day and went to order a drink using the QR code / APP but only iPhone users could download the app. I don't know if there was free wi-fi as we weren't provided with any guest info except for the itinerary. I didn't see any staff checking on guests or asking about drinks etc
Some guest information showing where you could go, (there were a couple of relaxation rooms that were never mentioned and empty) where the toilets are ( none on the top floor restaurant area) and advice would have been so helpful.
Unluckily for us our treatment was the last of the day, we were supposed to be having chocolates and champagne afterwards however this never arrived, reception was deserted ,no one to ask anywhere. The final nail in the coffin of many disappointments really.
Overall the location is beautiful, treatments wonderful and food delicious however after 10 minutes of arrival I felt that it wasn't the luxury relaxing experience I was expecting,far from it. There were a lot of reception staff who were busy but didn't have a friendly manner. The nicest most helpful staff member we encountered was a cleaner who was lovely .
I would return for a massage but not another 'spa' experience, they are cashing in on reputation but letting down those paying the high prices.
翻译:我原本期待在 Gaia 水疗中心享受一次放松的奢华体验,因为我听说过很多关于它的好评。
我确实患有多发性硬化症和行动不便,我在预订时就告知了这一点,但我不知道在访问期间我需要多次上下大量陡峭的楼梯,小电梯坏了。这给我带来了很多痛苦和困扰,但每当我提到这个问题时,他们都会一笑置之或置之不理。
我和我的朋友有一个全天套餐,包括热石按摩,这次体验很棒,下午茶很棒,这些都是亮点,
但是也有很多缺点。
水疗中心接待处提供的信息很少,我们被分配到的小储物柜高得离谱,很难进入。我们唯一被带去的地方是游泳池,那里热得让人无法忍受,很多人不断进来,空间太大,只有大约十几个座位/床可供使用,这造成了摩擦。
由于我们当天很早就到了,所以我们确实得到了一张床,并使用二维码/应用程序订购了一杯饮料,但只有 iPhone 用户才能下载该应用程序。我不知道是否有免费的无线网络,因为除了行程外,我们没有得到任何客人信息。我没有看到任何工作人员检查客人或询问饮料等。一些客人信息显示了你可以去哪里(有几个休息室从未提及且空无一人),厕所在哪里(顶楼餐厅区域没有厕所),建议会很有帮助。不幸的是,我们的治疗是当天的最后一项,我们本应该在治疗后吃巧克力和香槟,但这些都没有送来,接待处空无一人,任何地方都没有人可以询问。这真的是许多失望中的最后一颗钉子。总的来说,位置很美,治疗很棒,食物很美味,然而到达 10 分钟后,我觉得这不是我期待的奢华放松体验,远非如此。接待人员很多,他们很忙,但态度却不友好。我们遇到的最友善、最乐于助人的工作人员是一位可爱的清洁工。
我会再来按摩,但不会再体验“水疗”,他们利用声誉赚钱,却让那些支付高价的人失望。
