"A true luxury experience that I will never forget. From start to finish you will bear witness to the prestige that is carried with the Ritz-Carlton brand. Getting to the spa felt like something out of Charlie and the chocolate factory as it’s hard to gauge how grand the hotel is from outside but I was escorted to the spa by an extremely welcoming member of staff. The massage I had here was nothing short of spectacular and was well and truly deserved after a long day of flying to Barcelona. I can’t recall a time where I’ve felt more relaxed and relieved after a massage and I have to take my hat off for how professional it was. The icing on the cake was the private spa access at the end. The sheer pleasure that it brought me to appreciate Barcelona in all of its beauty from a jacuzzi and sauna of my own is a memory that I will cherish forever. There was a nice steam room too however I spent very little time in there as the beauty of the spa experience was in soaking in the skyline. If you have the money to spare, don’t deny yourself of this experience. Due to late arrival of my flight I couldn’t book myself in for the morning treat package so I opted for the massage and complimentary spa access instead. If you can do the package with breakfast I’d highly recommend as it’s only slightly more than an hour long relaxing massage.
The only feedback I’d give is that the temperature of the sauna wasn’t what I’m used to as it felt a bit cool. I’m not sure if it required servicing or if the temperature was set low but it’d be nice to have the room a bit hotter or for there to be something to adjust it."
Nice Pseudonym (The Honest Reviewer)
"We took a package for a spa evening. It included relaxing room with a Jacuzzi and sauna (45 minutes). Massage (55 mints) and dinner. On the day of the spa visit, we were informed that we would not be able to have dinner at the restaurant and offered an alternative option - dinner at the bar with three tapas and one cocktail per person. It was necessary to pay 40 euros extra for two. The impressions were only positive! Very polite staff! Amazing view from the windows! The massage was also great! I recommend everyone to visit!"

"Amazing views from the spa located on the top floor. The staff are attentive and will try their best to make you comfortable and relaxed. My massage was wonderful and highly professional. I finished off the afternoon with a session in the private spa where you have access to the jacuzzi pool, steam room and sauna alone for complete tranquillity whilst admiring the view. Complimentary snacks and drinks are offered too.
My only criticisms would be a lack of private/closed off changing areas within the changing area. There were no doors on showers and no where completely private other than the toilets which might not be comfortable for everyone. Finally, they were lacking in larger size robes and as a mid size women I found that the largest robe they had was a bit too small for my comfort and decency. It would be necessary to invest in more inclusive robe sizes as I can’t imagine how a larger person would feel when given a smaller robe and told that they don’t have a bigger option. For this, I deducted a star."
