CASA PLAYA SPA at the Rosarito Beach Hotel, Baja California, Mexico.
 

Reader Review submitted by Patricia A., 2006
I was instantly nostalgic to see your listing for Casa Playa Spa on your site. My  husband and I stopped here without a reservation (another hotel lost our reservation) for a night on our honeymoon early this year, and had spa treatments and a nice stay in an ocean front room. The Spa treatments were lovely and we could feel and smell the ocean near by.  The front staff treated us so nice when they learned our original hotel "bumped us out" on our honeymoon. They seemed genuinely happy they had a room for us and were so proud to present us with a bottle of champagne and gave me a flower.  It wasn't a luxury hotel, it was actually humble, but it was clean and comfortable and the staff were fantastic.  Without even asking, they found us a room with no families on either side saying "It's not time for children yet!" It was one of our more relaxing moments on an otherwise hectic honeymoon!

This hotel and spa work really hard at coming up with  promotions that will suit the day tripper, the weekend tripper, and the family vacationer.  While not a luxury resort by any means, it has strong ties to the community and has been in business perhaps longer than any of the hotels around it -- which is a good sign.  It's a terrific place to stop with a family member, your children, your spouse, or just your friend, for a day of good food, good beach access, that funky Mexico shopping experience in the open markets, music, fun, overindulgence, or to sleep away the day on the beach, after a spa treatment or two. The place is always clean, the food always well-repaired, the staff always friendly, the spa always welcoming.  My children love the beach day with Dad, and my wife slips away to the spa.  I recommend Casa Playa to my friends and family for the perfect spot to try a "spa weekend" for consistently reasonable prices.

I was robbed of my Raymond Weil watch at this spa. Management first insisted it was taken by another guest, and then insisted that I misplaced it. They ultimately took the position, at my departure, that there was no proof the watch was stolen. The facilities were nice and services were adequate.

This brings up a valuable point which will benefit our readers.  Most every website for a spa facility will have a "FAQ" or "Policies" section, and it is common practice for spas to request and advise that guests 1) do not wear jewelry or watches to the spa because damage from products, oils, steam, and water may result, and 2) do not bring valuables to the spa.  The spa cannot reliably guarantee security or "keep watch" over purses, valuables, and such (particularly if there are no lockers). While we've found that spa staff are almost always trustworthy, fellow guests can be less honest. -- SpaIndex.com

Aventura Spa Palace, Cancun, Mexico

Reader Review submitted by Bob R.
Pros:  I would wholeheartedly recommend the Aventura Spa Palace as a spa vacation destination. The cost of the trip was reasonable, the accommodations were first class, and we were treated extremely well. We utilized the spa quite a bit (it's world class) and we loved the gym and indoor pool, as well. I'd give the entire trip a 9 out of 10 points.  Some of the buffet style restaurants aren't that good, but the breakfasts are incredible. The rooms are great, but make sure to ask for a water view BEFORE you check in -- otherwise you may end up looking out of your window at another building.   Cons: I would recommend that you stay away from the "timeshare tour" which guest services will offer. No matter what they say otherwise, they WILL try very hard to sell you a membership. We were with them for two hours before they accepted "no" as an answer. It wasn't a very pleasant experience at all.  Finally, leave for the airport four hours before your flight. The lines at the airport are also world class -- and we just made our plane. We left Aventura Spa Palace at 11:30 for a 2:30 flight, after being assured by bellhops that we had plenty of time. We didn't, and nearly missed our plane.

For a relaxing and cost effective event -- highly recommend. Many treatments are included in the package, outdoor activities, simple, but clean rooms - spa cuisine.
