Phoenix/Scotts Spa
 

We are visiting the inlaws in Phoenix this May and will need a day to get away. We were thinking af doing an all or half day spa. Is there one in particular that has a day of pampering we shouldnt miss?

I like the spa at the Phoenician. I'm not sure if going to the spa will also get you into the resort area for the day but if so, you'd have a lovely day(nice shops too and the grounds are just beautiful to walk through, there is a cactus garden, etc, maybe have a health drink or a drink drink by the main pool.) They treat you well. I don't know the packages available, I have just gotten massages and melted back to the room. They have a mneditation room at the spa, but otherwise it is not new age style like the ones in Sedona that I've been to.

I loved the spa at The Boulders when I went a couple of years ago. Great treatments and amenities including a restaurant and outdoor adult only swimming pool. I'd love to hear about more recent visits. I'm hoping to go back later this year.

I just recently went to the Westin Kierland and the spa was fabulous...a little pricey but I just loved it. They had a great steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and relaxation room.

They have this type of massage called a Tui-Na (sp?) and it was by far the best massage I've ever and and I didn't feel achey the day after either.

I've been to the spa at the Marriott Camelback Inn, AZ Biltmore and the Phoenician and my favorite by far was the Marriott Camelback. And that was before they underwent an $8 million renovation. A friend recently went to the Westin at Kierland and raved about it too.
