After my plans for my boyfriends 30th birthday were cancelled (a trip to mexico vs Covid-19!) I booked us into the Bluewater Spa for a last minute spa day. I opted for the Revive spa day package and it was amazing. We both had a 30 minute back, neck and shoulder massages, then my other half had a hot stone back massage whilst I had a foot massage. It was lovely to have these in a couples treatment room and the treatments were all incredible. It was my boyfriends first experience of a professional massage and it’s safe to say it won’t be his last! The facilities were lovely at the hotel. The sauna and steam room were closed but given the current circumstances around the virus this was completely understandable and the absolute right thing to do. Lovely large pool and jacuzzi. My only comment would be that the area around the pool with the loungers was quite small and could only fit 6 loungers. This wasn’t a problem for us at all as the spa was very quiet when we were there, but be mindful that if you went on a busy weekend it would be an issue. Our package also included a complimentary hot drink, a choice of a 2-course lunch or afternoon tea, and a glass of Prosecco. We went for the 2-course lunch and it was so lovely, the service was great. All in all excellent value for money and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thanks for saving the day, bluewater spa! :)
