I had the most incredible day of pampering at Avanti Day Resort in Manalapan. From the moment you…read morewalk in, the space feels luxurious, calming, and truly world-class. I started with the Himalayan salt cave experience, which was so relaxing and restorative. It's the perfect place to unplug, breathe deeply, and just reset. The complimentary use of the sauna was such a beautiful added touch and made the whole experience feel indulgent and complete. My red carpet facial left my skin absolutely glowing -- smooth, refreshed, and event-ready. You can truly tell my esthetician was a professional. And of course, my blowout with Val was flawless. She gave me volume, bounce, and that polished finish that lasts. I walked out feeling confident and completely put together. Avanti is the definition of a full-service day resort experience. Whether you're prepping for an event or just need a little self-care, this is the place. Highly recommend treating yourself -- you deserve it.

I have been to Avanti many times over the past 8 years & had recently returned after taking a 1.6…read moreyears off from highlighting my hair. With that said, I desperately needed a haircut, single process & highlights for a graduation party. The only day available was a Sunday & unfortunately, the stylist that had previously done my hair didn't work on Sundays so, I had no choice but to book a new stylist and this turned out to be a huge mistake! My (new) stylist was nice but over booked & ultimately my hair was burnt off. It was obvious to me that while she was putting my highlight foils in that she was working with several clients at the same time which lead to her requesting that I sit at the sink so she could have her assistant (who also washes hair) apply a "quick processing" single-color on my grey-roots...followed by a glaze application (again, while the stylist attended to her other clients). When the stylist told me that her assistant would be applying both my root color & glaze...I said, "I would wait for her if she needed to tend to her other clients first" and I was dismissed and told to go to the sink. I think if you are paying upwards of $500 for an appointment it should be the trained stylist & not the assistant applying the color. My scalp felt hot & I had questioned the procedure to the young girl several times as I was clearly uncomfortable about the whole situation because my hair had never been done this way before at Avanti. After the assistant removed the foils & was washing my hair I had asked her "if I had a lot of fallout" and she told me, "no not much" which I later learned was not true. Obviously some fall out is expected with bleach but this appointment took off a shocking amount from my crown and sides of my head!! The whole experience was not up to the Avanti standard. I got there at 11:30am & left at 4:30pm with an okay haircut, bad blow out, less hair on my head (which is the most traumatic part!!) and a messy highlight job. The highlights are chunky in some spots, the glaze seems to have taken to "most" of the highlights and definetly not in other noticeable places. The front is lighter then the back. It's very blonde in the areas where clearly the hair is now missing...the bad blowout was so quick (again because I felt that the stylist was rushing to get to her other clients) and my hair can fluff-up/appear frizzy if not fully dried throughly that I didn't understand how burnt my hair actually was and how much hair loss there was until after I got home. I regret not waiting until the colorist that had done my hair previously was available...no clue if the amount that is now missing off my crown & sides will grow back in & how long that would take if it actually does?! The appointment was $500 and with tip I paid out $625 cash which is just sickening to me given how I look. I NEVER write REVIEWS but this was just too upsetting not to share.

This is a family orientated gym. Not for the serious/competing lifter. They do not allow you to…read morebring your own equipment, even if you take it back home with you. I'm specifically referring to my 200lb sandbag. I'm allowed to squat 500lbs, deadlift 600lbs, and leg press 800, but 200lbs was too heavy/dangerous!? Go figure. The roof leaked during heavy rain in the recent past, and caused me to slip and get injured. I was offered nothing for my pain/suffering. The staff can sometimes be found sitting on stationary bikes watching tv while the gym needs attention. However, after a few decades I can at least say the equipment is up to date. There are a lot of amenities (basketball court, pool, sauna, indoor track....just to name a few). The gym is clean, and the other gym-goers are friendly. Issues brought to the attention of staff are addressed. 5/5 if you're looking for a family gym, 3/5 for myself and anyone serious about fitness or competing in strength sports. They do offer a military discount, and I value that greatly.
