Sandava Spa

Fantastic pedicure and nice amenities.
I love the fact that you can use the hotel’s amenities when you get a spa treatment. That means access to the gym, pool, and rooftop terrace. Did we actually use any of these facilities? No, but it is still nice to have the option. And if it wasn’t so hot, we might lay out at the pool one day. I did appreciate that they validate valet. Also, they automatically add in 18% gratuity. I like that, because then I don’t have to figure out the tip. It is the little things.
The waiting area is very nice. They have treats, a keurig, and fruit infused water. I went with two friends and we accidentally booked our spa treatments at different times (2 at 10 a.m. and 1 at 11:15 a.m.) Having such a serene waiting area where we could sip tea and eat treats made the waiting feel almost nonexistent.
You can book treatments online. Make sure you book early. We ended up having to get up «early» on a Saturday, because we decided to book the Wednesday before. I know #firstworldproblems, but still worth noting.
On to the actual treatment. I got the waterless pedicure. I asked why it was waterless and the clinician mentioned sanitary reasons. I can appreciate that. I really didn’t feel like it lost anything not soaking my feet in water. I liked being on a massage table, because I just reclined and put an eye mask on. I thought the clinician did a great job. My feet feel pristine and I love the teal green color that I chose.
Overall I think this is a great spa with an impeccable location next to the beach.

Beautiful décor and though services are limited I thought they did a nice job. Cookies and pastries are gratis in the lovely waiting area. Locker rooms while new and clean are limited to WC, shower and lockers. No steam or sauna or pool.
I had the beach boy facial and thought it very relaxing and therapeutic.
