We moved into the new Spa rooms yesterday to feel out the new digs—and wow, they nailed it. Not only did they give the rooms a facelift, but they went full-on "extreme makeover" on the entire building. Honestly, this building is now the cool, hip kid on the block, making the rest of the resort feel like they're ready for a nap and a rerun of Matlock.
Even the creaky old wooden steps and deck got upgraded to sleek concrete and tile, which feels like going from flip-flops to designer shoes. Major upgrade.
But let’s dive into the rooms themselves. They’ve got new wood look floors, swanky furniture, and totally revamped bathrooms. Oh, and they somehow extended the room by two feet—yeah, just casually stretching the room like it’s yoga class. It’s now the largest room on the property, and you can feel it. The window seat? Gone. Instead, there’s a big, not so comfy chair...but only one, so good luck deciding who gets to sit. Our test this week is to see how it holds up to the sex test. You know people are going to be riding someone looking out the window at the people outside. We hope the chair is scotch guarded!
The bathroom is a whole new level of luxury—two sinks! One inside, one outside. We’re still figuring out the proper sink etiquette, but we think we’ve cracked the code for now. The shower’s gone doorless, with half the thing glassed in( yes, expect water on the floor), and there's a mirror across from the showerhead. Is it for admiring yourself mid-shampoo, or maybe for some steamy shower sex? You decide, but it definitely adds some "showtime" vibes to your shower.
Inside the room, there’s drawer space galore, including under the bed. Sounds great, except now the luggage is playing hide-and-seek in plain sight. We’ve adjusted, but the days of discreetly stashing your suitcase are over.
As for the decor, it’s tastefully nude. No Picasso, but hey, who needs that when you've got modern art over the bed? And no, it’s not a clock—just modern art. Speaking of clocks, there isn't one anymore. Sure, the old one was never on time, but we miss its quirky charm. My wife also misses the hooks in the older rooms—there’s plenty of storage, but nothing beats grabbing a sweater from a hook on the way out. (She is always cold, even in Hedo's heat)
So what’s the final verdict? We’ve officially booked all future stays in the Spa rooms, even though they’ve jacked up the prices now that they know they've created the Beyoncé of hotel rooms. For us, worth every penny. For those who wish to book this type of room here is the category: GVX Garden View Nude XTRA
These rooms come with two sinks, a little extra floor space, and one big chair that manages to be both oversized and uncomfortable (don’t ask us how, but it is). No ceiling mirrors yet—though rumor has it they’re on the way—so you’ll have to admire yourself the old-fashioned way for now. The color scheme, however, is soothing and feels like a true upgrade. In fact, this is the only building on the property that’s been fully refreshed inside and out… and trust us, it shows.
