Millpond Spa - Millpond Spa and Retreat - Stansbury Park, UT Review

I've been to spas in the past...some good, some not so good...most were very expensive as far as I'm concerned.  I don't go frequently for this reason...I usually enjoy myself and feel very relaxed afterward but can't really justify spending hundreds of dollars on something I can't hold, clean my house with, or cook my family for dinner.  I had seen ads for this place before and it looks to be fairly pretentious from the photos...it occupies what appears to be a fantastic dream house...probably 8000 sq. ft. worth with a stone facade and a big circular drive.  I was pretty surprised when my husband took it upon himself to make me an appointment for a facial as well as a deep tissue massage...each of which was an hour.  I was really worried about how much he would have spent on such a day and as the afternoon progressed I really was convinced that he had spent at least a few hundred dollars.  The atmosphere was exceptionally relaxing, quiet, beautiful.  They obviously spared no expense with this place.  The dressing rooms are plush, the lockers are carved wood, the robes are soft.  There wasn't an inch of anything unpleasant or imperfect in the whole building.  The facial was the first I have ever had and was wonderful.  The massage was one of the best I had ever had.  The people were very friendly and not snooty at all.  They fed me fruit and cheesecake with tea afterward.  I was in heaven...but then reality set in and I began to again question how much my husband had spent on this...so I asked.  $140.  That was it.  I couldn't even believe it!  I looked at the run down of the prices and sure enough...nothing on the list was half as expensive as I would have expected to pay.  In Philly I had a 60 minute massage and they served me lunch and I paid more than double what I paid at the MIllpond...and I don't think it was even as nice. 

 In my opinion this would make a fantastic Mother's Day gift...I know I want another and will probably spring for my neighbor to have the facial/massage treatment as well...she really needs it...she has rotten kids.

 They also have a full service salon and do every wax, pedicure, manicure, and hair service known to woman.
