That's about $2/minute!!!
We went their the day before our wedding (HI had booked us in).

I must say, whilst it was very nice, I was a tad dissapointed in it (don't tell HI). I was sort of expecting the go through the glass doors and spend day in fluffy robes, but we just went to rooms, had treatments, dressed, back to small lounge, treatment room, undress, treatment, dress, back to lounge. Got a bit tedious.

Plus as you say £££££££ - 500 quid for two of us.

I think I'd have a look around before recommending Refinery. Chapneys maybe?

And lets face it, for a hundred quid, I think you can find a nice masseur called Sven who'll make you very happy
