Spa week had this to say about Pure Blue Spa in Newport Beach, CA:

About Pure Blu Spa at the Newport Beach Marriott

Pure Blu Spa boasts 14,000 square feet of spa luxury! Pure Blu is separated into a Ladies and a Men's side and each side of the spa has a eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, salt water whirlpool jacuzzi, refreshing cold water foot plunge, private and co-ed relaxation rooms, private (spa only) outdoor swimming pool with lounge chairs, cabanas and poolside food and beverage service! *robes, slippers and lockers are provided for your convenience. Spa services include complementary valet or self parking and require a 4 hour change or cancellation notice (or appointments are charged in full).

The Yelp reviews were very interesting.  The Spa got generally high marks (averaging 3.5 out of 5), with most of the negative reviews coming from guests who were there on a Groupon or other coupon.  Of special interest to this blog, the eucalyptus steam room was mentioned favorably in almost half of the reviews.  It is very unusual to see so many comments on the steam room.  But the eucalyptus seems to be the difference.  Here were some representative examples.

So, it's safe to say that I'm a spa junkie. I especially love full service day spas with relaxation rooms and eucalyptus steam rooms. I've come here a few times and taken advantage of some of their specials. My first visit, I had a deep tissue massage and boy was that different from any massage I've had before. To begin, it was with a male masseuse who worked my muscles harder than a triathlon. Amazingly enough, I felt better and more limber afterwards. I've also had a facial and a body scrub here on different occasions. Each time I had a great experience. I LOVE their steam room. It is spacious, clean and smells great.

Me and my sister came in here on a weekday morning for a facial and massage.  my massage was good, my sister RAVED about the facial.  Was happy with the spa and its amenities overall.  Everything was very clean, stocked well with towels and cucumber water.  We were the only ones there for the whole time we were there and we stayed a couple hours after our appointments.  THe jacuzzi was nice and indoors, the eucalyptus steam room, and cool foot bath was great.

I like the wet sauna (steam room) at Pure Blu more than the one at Burke Williams because PB infuses the steam with eucalyptus scent.  As a girl with allergies, I found this delightful.  If I would come back, it's for this steam room.

Indulge Yourself at Spa Avania in Scottsdale - Review


 

Spa Avania Offers Eucalyptus Oil in Their Lavish Steam Room

An enlightening spa experience, Spa Avania choreographs your visit to light, music and the body's internal clock.


Could it be true? Yet another spa in the already rich resort spa landscape of Scottsdale? Oh yeah baby. But this one is not just another spa. Sprawling amidst 2.7 acres of indoor Spa Avania is among the world's first to choreograph the entire sensual experience to the science of time and the body's internal daily clock. Aptly named for the Greek word for "tranquil," the $9 million oasis at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch opened its doors in 2005, wowing guests with both its luxe interior and thoughtful approach to the spa encounter.

Designed to provide a whole body, total immersion in tune with the body's changing daily rhythms and requirements, Spa Avania integrates seven essential elements — customized spa treatments, mineral water therapy, music styling, fitness, diet, rare teas and natural light — into the experience. For each guest, the spa concierge weaves these essential ingredients into an all-senses journey that answers to the body's needs throughout the day: invigorating, energizing treatments for the morning; balancing and rejuvenation for mid-day; and calming evening treatments that prepare the body for slumber and repair.
Guests to this 21,000-square-foot retreat are transported from the outside world into a space where art, light and contemporary design work in unison to provide subtle reminders of the spa-wide emphasis on balance and time. Arranged around a dramatic trellis-covered outdoor court — featuring mesquite wood-burning fireplaces, gorgeous pools, a lotus pond, a black granite waterfall and scenic glimpses of Camelback Mountain — are four oversized treatment rooms for couples and five elegant indoor and outdoor garden treatment suites with private entrances, pools, fountains and private relaxation lounges.
On the Spa Avania menu is expert massage therapy, heavenly facial treatments, Vichy water immersion treatments and hair and nail services. A self-contained men's suite allows the boys club to enjoy a mini bar and flat-screen digital television as spa therapists provide guest-centric experiences customized to the time of day. The spa also features a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, 16,290-gallon French Celtic mineral pool, personalized facility-wide music styling system and elaborate indoor and outdoor spaces for personal relaxation and reflection.
Services: facials, massage, body treatments, airbrush spray tanning, body wraps, hair conditioning and scalp treatments, hair updos and styling, manicures, pedicures, Vichy body scrub treatments
Products: Colorescience Cosmetics, Comfort Zone and Spa Avania Signature Collection of hair and body products
Amenities: complimentary teas, fitness center, French Celtic mineral pool, indoor and outdoor storm showers, lotus pond, meditation areas, mens suite, outdoor cold and hot plunge, spa cuisine, yoga studio, Boutique, couples suite, Lockers, Sauna, Steam and Whirlpool

Allegria Spa at Park Hyatt in Beaver Creek On Everybody's Top Spa Lists

The Best Spas in America know that Eucalyptus Oil Is A Major Part of the Experience

Over the next few months, this blog is going to take a look at major spas all over the US and even the world.  We will check out what the reviewers are saying and the guests.  We'll bring you descriptions and pictures, plus links to help you further research these facilities.

Some will be major spa resort facilities like today's offering.  Others will be hotel spas, fitness center spas, and even local wellness facilities.  There will be two criteria required to make our list, however.  The spa must have a great steam room.  And that steam room must use Suprema 100% Pure, pharmaceutical grade, Eucalyptus Oil in their steam room.   Without the soothing and healing powers of Eucalyptus oil in the steam room, how could any spa lay claim to greatness at all.

You can now enjoy to luxury of eucalyptus oil in a regular shower, too.  Buy our 8 ounce spray bottle of 100% pure pharmaceutical grade eucalyptus oil for you home shower or steam room.

Spa Finder Describes Allegria Spa at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort as follows:

Beaver Creek is a popular spot with ski-vacationing families. Its slopes total 1,805 acres and include both beginner runs and double black diamonds. Park Hyatt Beaver Creek capitalizes on its close proximity to the slopes with skier- and snowboarder-friendly amenities such as a ski valet who stores and dries guests' equipment as they come off the lift. Guests seeking even more excitement can take a shuttle to Vail, just eight miles away, where additional world-class slopes and Rocky Mountain family adventure can be found.
Camp Hyatt treats children aged three to 12 to outdoor exploration and creative indoor projects during warmer months. Parents and kids can also enjoy a s'mores "happy hour" every evening around the fire pit. In the summertime, badminton, horseshoes, and volleyball games are among the many varieties of friendly competition available.
The hotel's picturesque setting hosts a wealth of exciting outdoor activities in all weather. Beaver Creek features warm-weather sporting facilities (including a tennis center and a golf club), stables for horseback riding, hiking/rock climbing, and easy access to fly fishing in the Colorado, Eagle, or Roaring Fork rivers. Complimentary fly-fishing clinics are held at the hotel every morning. Besides downhill and cross-country skiing, guests can take advantage of tobogganing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling on the mountains as well as ice skating at a rink adjacent to the property


Online reviews would support this description.  After visiting several online review sites, I found that the ratings ranged from 4 stars to perfect 5 stars.  Prevention Magazine calls it one of the top 50 eco spas in the USForbes Travel Guide has Alegria Spa as a Star Award Winner in 2011 and 2013.  Spawards lists the spa among top 100 for 2012.
