Everything about our several visits to the Unique Day Spa has routinely been delightful. The spa…read moreoffers multiple services and pays attention to the most minute of details. Whether it is offering driver services to its location (and home again), the hand sanitize/temperature taking device just prior to walking into their lobby, the proper ambient lighting, pleasent focal point to gaze at while being massaged, or a variety of beverages upon request - there is not a detail which this establishment has missed. I have been to the spa several times with either my daughter or husband and we have managed to enjoy several of their services (salt room, presso therapy, flotation table, and sauna room) in addition to their basic massage. Each service or experience allows the visitor to feel as though they have had a mini vacation day and return home feeling rejuvenate. I very much look forward to my next visit!

I went with two friends who have been here already a couple of times. For me it was the first time…read morethat I got to try seaweed baths at all. Already the journey to them is part of the relaxation. Beautiful views towards what feels like the end of the world. Just a small harbour and a lifeboat station are at the end of the little road. All staff that I met was very friendly, natural and competent. As it was my first time there I had to fill out a form, including any medial conditions. As this area is Gaeltacht it was first in Irish then in English. The staff speaks English. We had a special offer package via Pigsback which included a massage, facial, seaweed bath and refreshments. I enjoyed all three of them very much and felt very comfortable, enjoying some pampering. As expected you can say any special requirements for the massage or the facial. The facial can include colouring of the eye lashes and eyebrow. I got an introduction how to use the seaweed bath which included first using the cedar wood steam box, then the warm / hot seawater bath where you after a while add the seeweed that is waiting for you in a bucket. Talking to my friends afterwards the amount of seaweed seems to vary depending on the seaweed available. When I was there is was very rich and oily so it was seemingly less than on other occasions. But enough to rub it into your skin and to enjoy the treatment. The food (soup or sandwich) afterwards was tasty and nicely filling. People also came into the cafe after walks around the area just to have a coffee or for something to eat. As we were there on a lovely warm and sunny day we got to enjoy and further relax after the treatment in the tranquill surroundings. But I'd say even or especially on a cold and rainy day it's a lovely escape from our daily lives.

Luckily…read morethis beautiful spa is located in my hotel and they were more than accommodating (bonus: they didn't even charge me for polish change). Lisette and Lauren are fantastic. I'm mildly obsessed with their sticker foot coverings in lieu of paper temporary flip flops. Only caveat - for indoor use only. Can't wait to come back for hair and body services.

A luxury spa situated on Stephen's Green just a short walk from all the shops and restaurants…read moreDublin has to offer. Sounds like heaven right? Well, it's pretty close! The Shelbourne Spa is not actually in the hotel, but three doors down to the right. I've never noticed it before as it blends in as one if the big Victorian style houses but it's really easy to find. The spa is actually upstairs but you have full use of the leisure club facilities when using the spa and these are on the ground floor. In terms of decor, it is every bit as elegant as the hotel, with big chandeliers and plush furniture. When you check in you are brought to change into your robe and slippers before being led to the relaxation room which looks over Stephen's Green, which I loved. If I'm honest, I've been in better relaxation rooms, this one was very bright and probably would have been relaxing if it wasn't for a group of really loud talkers. This wasn't the staff's fault but tainted the experience a little for me. In terms of refreshments there was a selection of teas, some small nibbles and water. Also, after your treatment you get a tasting plate of fruit, juice and sorbet. I opted for the 'Tropical' which consisted of pineapple juice, kiwi and coconut sorbet and it was delicious. The highlight for me was the treatment though. I received a gift of the "Celebratory Spa Package" which consisted of an Elemis facial and a hot- stone back massage. Both of these were excellent, the therapist was lovely and spoke me through the products she used afterwards. The one criticism I would have would be that it's quite expensive at €129 for the package which only lasted an hour. I would have expected it to last a little longer at this price. With the excellent staff, treatments and location I would definitely go back, but I think I'd be waiting for a special occasion!

This place is the business as far as I am concerned…read more I happened to stumble across this place when I was looking to treat my lovely Mammy to a birthday present and I figured that I should do a lil something extra (as the bath salt hampers just don't really cut it anymore after the age of 12 when they are bursting out of the wardrobe still in their unopened crisp packaging). So off I toddled down to check out the place and I was really suprised. as when I walked in the door of the Spa the decor totally changed into a relaxing peaceful and personal sort of place with a small waiting area that you sit in before your treatment, nothing like the hotel that it is attached to (not dissing the hotel, it's just a very typical hotel decor), The parking here is free (score) if you are using the Spa, or it's right on the bus routes from the City centre so it's a easy enough place to get to. Although driving back I nearly fell asleep from relaxation! The staff are really professional and friendly and the products that the use is called Yonka, which is all organic, quite pricey to buy on it's own and extremely addictive! You have your own massage room complete with shower so your not sprinting from a mud bath to the other end of the hotel to rinse off (something like that happened to me before, I looked and felt like swamp thing) with the whole candles, nice relaxing music etc I went in bleary eyed and pale and when I came out I felt like I had just spent a week in a 5 star Spa in Thailand (minus the wallet stinging part). The price is actually really decent here, maybe due to the fact that it is outside the city centre but a 40 minute escale facial was €50 combined with full aroma stone body massage lasting 75 minutes was €100. I have been to places in the city centre that charged way more and I felt like I was paying for the location rather than the treatments. This place is a fantastic way to treat someone (or hey yourself) and the range of treatments is extensive, The one thing is though to make sure to make an appointment well in advance as they are usually booked up on the weekends in particular. They also do a full men's treatment list as well (I have seen some Macho lads come out looking suspiously fresh faced and sweet smelling, or maybe they all got lost on the way to the manly car garage...)

The facial was the real disappointment. The esthetician simply rubbed oil on my face for 30 minutes. The result was a breakout the next day.

They took my booking and I gave my card details and only that I phoned the following day did I find out that due to an error on THEIR part my booking had been double booked. On one note I have to say Aoife who answered the phone was lovely and did all she could for me but when I was passed to the manager Karen how different that experience was. I was told "did I expect her to get more staff in for my booking" ? That it was overbooked and that was it. SHE TOLD ME that there was no alternative booking for me as I had limited dates and they couldn't help. She spoke to me very abruptly and there was no way she was going to offer me any alternative. Not even a discount for a reschedule. I gave them my card details and NOT ONCE on the call did she mention my card and give me comfort that it would NOT be debited for my booking. It was their mistake and they admitted that but as for giving me any kind of customer satisfaction to turn my double booking experience into a positive one, I rate them with a huge ZERO only for I have to click on one star to get this posted thats the only reason I have one star rating if I could give -1 I would.
