A
SPA INDEX STAFF REVIEW |
|
 The
Spa at Orlando World Center
Marriott
Orlando, FL
September 2003
Spa Index sent our
graphic artist to the
Spa at Orlando World
Center Marriott for her
first facial ... and she
returned a convert.
"My visit to the Spa at
Orlando World Center
Marriott was definitely
one of the most
pleasurable experiences
I've ever had.
My teenager daughter and
I went together, and we
arrived to find a very
relaxed, yet extremely
classy atmosphere.
The first sensation was
the wonderful aroma,
both from the products
in use and the
aromatherapy candles and
lotions in the gift
area. After
checking in, we were
given keys to personal
lockers, as well as
robes and slippers, and
we were led to a large
room to change. The air
was fresh and clean with
an aroma of summer rain.
There were sinks to
refresh ourselves first,
with mouth rinse,
scented soaps and
lotions, and overstuffed
chairs to relax in. To
one side of the room was
the restroom, and to the
other side, showers a
sauna, as well as "quiet
rooms" to relax in.
After a very short wait,
we were escorted to
nicely dimmed room with
quiet, relaxing music
playing. I was
scheduled for a facial.
My aesthetician softly
explained the treatment
she would be performing,
then left the room while
I made myself
comfortable under the
linens. When she
returned, she began the
treatment with a
skincare consultation, a
gentle wash, and
exfoliation. Next, warm
damp towels to steam my
skin, a soothing mask,
and extractions.
The products were
wonderfully scented, and
her conversation was
very soothing, friendly
and quiet. While
the mask was on and she
was waiting for it to
dry, she massaged my
arms and hands with warm
lotion and then put
warmed "mittens" on my
hands. She then
massaged my legs and
feet with the warm
lotion and put warmed
"booties" on my feet.
She then returned to
massage my head and
shoulders. I
cannot express enough
how very pampering this
experience was.
After my facial, I
accompanied my teen
daughter to her massage.
Our masseuse was
Wendell, and he was
wonderful and
professional - knowing
exactly how to work each
muscle. He worked
very slowly in steady,
long strokes with
obvious concentration --
it was almost as if he
could see her muscles
and was working to relax
and soothe each one.
My daughter told me
after the massage that
she hoped we hadn't
noticed her relaxing to
the point she drooled.
After our services, we
were invited to make use
of the pool and jacuzzi
amenities, and we were
given cold water wrapped
in towels to prevent our
warm hands from being
chilled.
We found the
professional staff
members, impeccable
service, and lovely
amenities to be
remarkable.
We would highly
recommend this spa to
anyone -- even those
traveling to Florida
just to visit this hotel
and spa." -- Cheryl E.
