Review: SD Hard Rock Spa

With signature services including the Dream Weaver Massage, Amped Up Sugar Scrub, Peace and Love Facial, Iron Man, and Love Potion No. 9, Rock Spa guests are left wondering whether they should have stayed inside their suite and played Guitar Hero all morning long.

No doubt, Rock Spa at the Hard Rock Hotel is innovative in not only offerings, but how they dish it. On their ever-prescient-never-kitsch menu, they even exhibit a ‘How to Rock Spa,’ explaining spa etiquette, fees, and fitness procedures.

Offering ‘Quickies,’ the Rock Spa markets the youth and their short attention spans, and those in need of wake-up calls – who don’t necessarily want to tack on hours to their schedule. Bridal and Groom Parties are offered but are overshadowed by the Granddaddy of them all, Love Potion No. 9. Nearly six hours long, this treatment encourages you to relax with your partner while toasting champagne to lunch and the hard rock golden gods.

Natural ingredients are available for the organic-inclined, and privacy is granted for you, with separate steam rooms for women and men. Rock Spa also gives guests the opportunity to get full service in their own hotel room, a private cabana poolside, or one-of-five treatment rooms.

We’re begging to ask one question: Would you like to super-size this? The answer is quite simply ‘impossible,’ for now.

Luscious but not stuffy, the ambiance of Rock Spa is overturned by the staff’s dedication to renew the spa experience. From playing matchmaker with the man or woman in the cabana across from you, or simply touting the up-and-coming antioxidant for your skin, the all-new Rock Spa at San Diego Hard Rock Hotel will hold your breath.
