I recently went to this spa for a body treatment and was surprised at the improved variety of services on their spa menu. As always the facility was extremely clean and the staff helpful. Being a local to the area I like that there is a discount available for midweek services. The women's areas are completely private and serene.

It's a nice facility, part of a large resort and you can tell they get a lot of people through here. The massage, body scrub and facial I got were again "nice". The facility is in a building away from the hotel so it's quiet and pleasant, very pretty and relaxing. This is part of a resort location so the pricing reflects that.

I enjoyed the pool most of the time I was here. Gets crowded on Sat afternoons so get there early. Martini in the lounge was pricy, but staff is friendly. Not a lot of onsite food choices, but good resteraunts are nearby. Room was clean, but I was charged for mini bar items that I did not consume. Had to call back and get charges removed from my credit card.

Aqua Serena Spa at the Hyatt Grand Champions, is Indan Well's best kept secret. The facility is immaculate, the staff is very proffesional and friendly. The Serene environment is a perfect way to spend a day or even an fternoon. The facials are wonderful! Will definetly visit again in the near future. Aqua Serena Spa is everything you would expect at a resort and more!

My biggest issue with the spa was that there were no Yoga classes. Hyatt offers this yoga away program on the in-room TVs for a cost and apparently that has prevented them from finding a highly qualified yoga instructor (I guess that's the only way Hyatt will approve yoga classes at the spa). My other issue was the lack of nail colors for a manicure and pedicure. The colors were dated and somewhat old. My manicure dried very poorly but the spa director comped me for that.

Big property with golf course. New spa is just great. Nice fitness facility and fitness classes. Spa locker rooms and treatments are very good. This is a big resort hotel so just know that is what you are going to visit. Good dining, lots of people but it is the Palm Springs area.
