Located just about two
miles from the coast highway in Dana Point, California,
this unique day spa offers services that combines the
luxury of a destination spa with that of services provided
by a physicians office.
When we arrived we found the charming stone cottage
building located in a neighborhood outdoor mall.
As we entered the building the first thing that
we noticed was the 25 foot water fall directly behind
the front desk! We both felt so peaceful. Our spa
attendant and the very friendly staff greeted us.
The energetic Spa Director, Lynn Smith then gave
us a tour of the facility. Today they were preparing
for a wedding party besides our arrival, so the place
was buzzing.
Men don’t feel intimidated from hearing
about these women, because there were men there also.
There were some couples there for treatments together.
They offer couples massage. We were shown around
the location, and noticed the beautiful water color
paintings that were displayed on the walls. The artist,
know as “Tat Shinno”, was responsible
for the gorgeous works of art that looked like photographs,
but they are watercolors! Her style must be experienced
to be believed, and no worries, if you like one of
her masterpieces, you can buy it! All of the art
work is for sale.
After our tour we were
shown to the locker room that was very well stocked
with all the items that you may need to enjoy your
experience. After the long drive, my daughter and
I chose to take a steam to help us to unwind before
our first treatment. We booth felt such a peaceful
sense of relief as we began to chat about what was
in store for us. Next we were shown to the “Bamboo
Room” where you await for your technician to
call your name. They offer various snacks and beverages
with another waterfall to help you to remain in a
peaceful mood.
Our names were called
and I could tell that my daughter was a little nervous,
but “Pavla” (her technician) reassured
her how wonderful it was going to be.
Down to the treatments: Whitney received her very
first Swedish massage! Since she plays field hockey
and had
just played the day before in a tournament, this was
a great way to ease those sore mussels. Next she received
a citrus body scrub, followed by an “airbrush
bronzing”. What a great first spa experience
for her, and I was there to share this with her!
Mom (that’s me) received the “Rosemary
Loofah Scrub” (which is very gentle on the
skin) and then the “Tri-Crystal Body Scrub”,
all enjoyed with the “Vichy Shower”.
You feel like you are in a rain forest! Then it was
time to have the “Pohaku hot stone massage”;
all of these services were performed by her outstanding
technician Lynn. What a wizard, she has these treatments
down just right with such a nurturing touch. Pure
joy!
Mother and daughter left floating back to the Blue
Lantern Inn.
After we finished our gourmet breakfast at the Blue
Lantern Inn, we set off for day two at Reniu. This
time we started earlier in the day and we both had
facials. Whitney received the “Teen Facial” with
Della, and Mom enjoyed an “Epicurean European
Facial” with Bree. The treatments rooms all
seemed to have at least some type of waterfall to
help your time to be very soothing and relaxing.
Then it was time to take a break
to eat, so they offered a special luncheon for
Whitney
and me in the “Bamboo
Room”. Some of their packages include a luncheon,
but you will need to make arrangements in advance.
After a very peaceful
lunch, it was time to finish up with the “Reniu
Foot Treatments/Spa Pedicures”.
This is where you are immersed, exfoliated,
masked, and polished (your feet of course). Our
time spent
at the Reniu Laser Day Spa was outstanding.
