ARIA administers your experience very efficiently. The greeter and helper makes what could be an otherwise awkward experience into a comfortable one. This was a highlight of our visit to Spain. Everything was top shelf treatment, including the massage and baths. Read more

Super cool experience! The massages were really good and the facilities were wonderful. We could have booked a longer massage or had more time here to relax, 90 minutes didn't seem enough to enjoy. Read more

Tips for future travelers

It's a little hard to find, give yourself extra time. The facilities are great, can shower and get ready there for the rest of your night. We did our tour around 5 which was good, I think if I did in the morning I would be so relaxed I'd need a nap.

Tips for future travelers

Pack a swimsuit! We went later at night, which was the best time in our opinion as we felt so relaxed and refreshed afterwards and got the best sleep ever that night. I would recommend going at a similar time.
