Beautiful tranquel spa. Loved the steam room, amenities after showering, private pool, and facial was great.

I've been to A LOT of high-end 5 star hotels/spas (The Peninsula, The Elysian, Four Seasons, etc) and the Joya Spa is BY FAR my favorite spa! I just got back from the Montelucia last week and I already have another trip planned for this September. The place is amazing!! Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. The best 5... More

Great pool, very tranquil. No cells allowed out there, adults only. Get a cabana - it's well worth it!

I love the theme and ambiance of this spa. It really captures the Spanish-Arabic bath house environment. However, if you took that out I would have been really unimpressed. The facial I got wasn't great and I wasn't overly thrilled with the very crowded tiny pool on the patio. Plus the spa menu was limited to the point of being... More

I typically get a massage while vacationing, and have been to a variety of great resort spas around the country and this is my new favorite! It's a very relaxing and calming place and the massage was great (I did take advantage of their spring special rate, so I did save money). With full use of the entire spa for... More

I live in the area and have been to this spa twice. I try to rotate spas to change things up. The spa has a nice calming feeling upon entering guests pick a stone to help suggest meaning of what they want or should get out of the day. next guests walk to a crystal and place their hand on... More

I was immensely overcharged for a cancelation and am vey unhappy with what I had to experience to fix the problem. I would not recommend Montelucia or ant of the KSL Resorts because of this massive headache and problem. They do not do things fairly or the right way. BE CARFUL!!!

Beautiful rooms, very special atmosphere created by the "journey" through the crystal stations on your way to the lounges. Great massages, really nice showers.

Think Disneyland doing a Moroccan spa and you have a feel for the facility which I thought was nice. I enjoyed the theme touches. The spa pool area, although small, had a great view and a good menu. (The shrimp wrap and the fresh cocktails were great - who doesn't like vodka in house-made lemonade?) The gaps were in the... More
