I wasn’t about to give the rest of my money to the casino so sue me if i have to wait for my mom while reading your December ’ 09 magazines. so i was a little miffed when the people at Contour kept asking me what i was waiting around in the lounge for. Now, the entire day, i had compared this experience to the very nice one i had at the Disney Grand Floridian spa (i know, those shoes are almost impossible to fill, but still!) At the Disney resort, i got a massage and was constantly encouraged to stay as long as i want and spend the rest of the day using the facilities. After my shower, i dried my hair and went to the lounge to have water and pretzels. i was also worried my dreadlocks would fall out - but i digress. i guess it was a little silly to worry whether or not washing my body with shampoo would make body hair grow insanely but I’m a worry wart like that. it felt amazing and i was totally relaxed but since the bottle marked ‘shampoo’ and the bottle marked ‘body wash’ had the same exact liquid in it, my relaxation went away. (the third shower was strictly for the handicapped) my masseuse had told me earlier that a shower after a massage would help me relax and she was right. good thing i was the only one in the locker room since there were only 3 showers. Went back to the first shower to grab the shampoo and went back to the second shower. i knew i still had awhile to wait for my mom so i went back to the locker room to take a shower and wash my hair. It felt so good that i felt myself getting a little sleepy and knew it was time to get out. (very good advice, that) i decided to unwind for a bit in the wet steam room… the best part of the whole day.
After my 60 min., «she» took me around to the steam room and the sauna then left me with an encouragement about drinking lots of water for the rest of the day. and she did an okay job… SHE who never introduced herself. I know some women work right up until they get to the maternity ward but come on! she had one of those «any day now» stomachs and frankly, i was a little creeped out that i was gonna feel her stomach which she was massaging me. Some of the light fixtures in the place had that annoying Kmart blinky light thing, and the old magazines gracing the tables irked my nerves so i couldn’t wait to get out of there and get my pampering started. The bathrooms were like sardine cans and there’s nowhere to hang a purse, let alone clothes for changing. For the Hard Rock i expected it to be a lot better. While waiting i decided to check out the locker room. She took my mom and I waited for my lady to arrive. I mean violent whopping coughs that never seemed to end. Her allergies were acting up and she was hacking up a storm. My mom’s lady came first and with her she brought germs. Once off the elevator, another young lady showed us the locker room area where we changed into our robes and waited for our masseuses. And the website simply states: «A 20% service charge will be added upon check in.» But we’d been planning this outing for awhile and we definitely deserved it so we paid and took the elevator upstairs. That should have been a huge red flag for us especially since the woman i spoke to over the phone never explained this when we went over the prices the day before.

What surprised us was the fact that the spa collects the money BEFOREHAND, PLUS they charge 20% for EACH service not the total price. A friendly young woman at the counter greeted us and gave us a review of the service we would be getting: Swedish massage for me and Swedish massage, mani/pedi, and facial for mom. The first floor is the lobby, designer sunglasses shop, and beachwear. A reliable family friend told us about a good experience she had here, however what one considers to be a good experience can be totally different to another. We wanted to go to a nice, relaxing place to get primped and pampered. My mom and I had been planning a spa day for months.
