I agree that the pool gets you to "pretend" you're on vacay. Very cool.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085494388583625791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16730036.post-21101530442650415202008-03-17T17:24:00.000-04:002008-03-17T17:24:00.000-04:00Hey Sara!!

I think most people just walk in off the street and lounge out (meaning they spend nothing). And I bet most of them sneak into the Hamam even though you are supposed to pay to get in. <BR/><BR/>I have used the Hamam twice - once I paid for a massage and it was included, second time I paid for a do it yourself spa thing and I was allowed to use everything. I paid a little extra and I got a full body do-it-yourself mud treatment outdoors not far from the pool. Totally recommend the mud - a lot of fun and you get to soak in a huge outdoor tub overlooking the bay to wash it all off.<BR/><BR/>I am also a fan of the Sunday night Bingo. I went for a friend's birthday and there were free drinks and tons of winners that night. One friend won a free night stay, another won 10 yoga lessons. <BR/><BR/>And agreed, the food at the pool is yum. Perfect for a relaxing day where you don't mind spending too much to pretend that you are on vacation.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929672676582205685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16730036.post-5894359262748188062008-03-17T12:12:00.000-04:002008-03-17T12:12:00.000-04:00Never been for Sunday night bingo but my friends l...Never been for Sunday night bingo but my friends love it. I appreciate how the hotel opens itself up to the community. It's become a neighborhood institution.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085494388583625791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16730036.post-16814861144179908622008-03-17T10:51:00.000-04:002008-03-17T10:51:00.000-04:00Have you been for Sunday night bingo?

I did a few years ago and back then the menu was really boring. Steak frites were pretty good though. You dont happen to know the spa director there, do you?SteveBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203167407546384904noreply@blogger.com
