“This was one of the best spas I’ve visited, amazing ambiance, beautifully decorated. This spa is less touristy than some of the others. He didn’t get overly busy and was beautiful from start to finish. Looking at some of the other reviews that say the staff were rude we found the staff to be extremely friendly and really helpful. We took our own flip-flops but we did hire a robe. This only cost a couple of pounds.. we had the VIP package and a glass of champagne on arrival. we would definitely recommend Mandala Day spa we felt super relaxed after it.”
