This spa has been winning awards all over the place and they are well-deserved, we think.

The St Davids Hotel and Spa in Cardiff is pretty fantastic to look at, and the setting is perfect for either a relaxing day of spa-ness or an overnight treat.

The Marine Spa is an absolute treat, and as you'd expect from somewhere that's been voted one of the top 15 spas in the UK by Conde Nast Traveller, it's full of all the best spa goodies ...inspired by treatments across the world, Indian Ayurveda to Mediterranean body wraps.

Views are amazing, pools and hydrotherapy areas a delight...the perfect spa break!

Special birthday short break away

Me and my partner booked a lovely night away to celebrate my birthday. We thought we would treat ourselves and decided upon this hotel due to the good reviews we had read. We arrived half an hour before our treatments were booked due to bad traffic but were greeted in a very friendly and relaxed way. We both enjoyed our 55 minute treatments and felt relaxed to enjoy the rest of our evening. Our three course meal was lovely and the attention to detail was superb. We then made full use of the spa,swimming pool and Jacuzzi jets before enjoying a lovely bottle of bubbly in our deluxe room. All of the staff were extremely friendly and took care of everything during our stay. Our room was lovely especially providing us with a balcony view of Cardiff Bay andour short break was made even better by my partner proposing which was the icing on the cake.

Very nice.

On arrival there was some confusion with regards to our booking. However the hotel did not make any fuss they were delightful, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. A very nice hotel and a wonderful treatment in the spa. this was a birthday present so I was delighted that we enjoyed it so much. I would love to go again.

relaxing

The experience was marred initially by the difficulty in parking. I had to park outside the hotel on yellow lines go into reception and find out about parking arrangements. Otherwise the experience was relaxing. I was not bowled over by the lunch although the staff were friendly and helpful. I wouldn\'t say overall that it was a 5 star experience!

Could do better!

Changing room very nice, clean and tidy; shower gel and shampoo all provided. We went straight into the pool which was nice, but a bit small compared to a normal leisure centre pool. They also had 2 warm hydrotherapy pools but I felt they were too hot for me (pregnant). The steps in and out of the various pools were a bit steep and a struggle for anyone pregnant/elderly/arthritic. Unfortunately, our day was a bit spoiled by not having a tour on arrival. The receptionist bombarded us with information, far too much to take in, and we therefore missed out on some things (e.g. never found the relaxation room). Reception also told us the wrong start time for our treatments, which meant they were a bit rushed and cut short. Otherwise a nice place, lovely views of the bay, good treatments, nice lunch, juice bar area and lovely outdoor sun terrace. Just make sure you get an introductory tour!

Excellent service

Staff were welcoming and friendly on arrival, did not wait around long for my treatment to start. Cleanliness of the spa was excellent. Very relaxing day to end a hectic week, would definitely return and also recommend to a friend.

Can\'t wait to go back for more

I purchased this \'Pamperday\' experience to treat my mum and myself for mother\'s day. We had a fantastic day, using the pool and spa facilities all day, having what was described as a \'light lunch\' (not so light, but very nice) and three treatments. All the facilities were very well kept and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and all staff were very helpful and friendly. We both had a back, neck and shoulder massage, a facial and a manicure included in the cost. The massage and facial were fantastic. A lovely day out and we will certainly be treating ourselves there again.

Some good, some not so good....

I had high hopes for the day as we had all been to this spa previously for my hen do and had a fantastic time but sadly things didn\'t go so great on this occasion. On arrival to the reception at the Spa the three of us attempted to book in as requested. I had taken all of my documentation from SpaSeekers with me thankfully as they did not have the birthday girl on ANY of their reservations! I showed them all of my paperwork and after much fretting by us, and stressed looks by the management, they managed to fit us all in, although our appointments meant we saw very little of each other. We started our sessions with an all over body brushing but rather than go straight into a massage afterwards, you were asked to get up and leave the room and head in to another identical room for your massage! With all the spa\'s I have visited, this was a first!! The massage was excellent and the best part of the day! We also had our finger and toe nails done at the end of the day, and to be honest felt very much like an after thought. Between us we all had a dip in the pool but it would have been nice to have seen the girls with me, after all it was a special occasion!

A fantastic day!

My friend and I visit a spa every three months or so, we have visited all the spas in our area and a few further away. Some we have liked and some we would never re visit. Only a few have warranted a second visit; we are not novices when it comes to spa days. We arrived at the St David’s spa where I have been before but neither of us had visited since their refurbishment. We were greeted warmly and shown the facilities. We had a coffee and a chat in the Spa restaurant called Waves. There were lovely views across Cardiff bay. We then went for a swim and spent time in the marine salt channel and showers...hot showers with a pummelling action that stimulates the blood flow and feel divine. We rested at the pool side with a magazine and then ventured forth to the juice bar and the relaxation room. We experienced the Massage chairs which were like nothing I have known before...they were wonderful and the therapist said they are so good she fears people will not book massages. We then had a beautiful quality lunch which included three courses with hot and cold dishes available. Through out the day juice herbal teas coffee water etc and fresh fruit were freely available. After lunch we started our treatments .The rooms were beautiful and my massage was on a heated table. The facial was also carried out on the warm bed and it was so relaxing I fell asleep. We finished the treatments with a choice of manicure or pedicure. We then relaxed with a final drink and a banana before reluctantly leaving at 5 pm. It was a truly wonderful day and one we hope to repeat before too long. Thank you to spaseekers.com for organising it for us. It was excellent value for money.

Excellent value, great treatments

I had 3 treatments, full use of the facilities and lunch for £104 the SpaSeekers Pamperdays are excellent value for money and I recommend the site to anyone. Lunch was 3 courses of lovely healthy food overlooking the bay. The facilities were lovely, nice pool, whirl pool, jet spa beds and sauna, again all overlooking the bay which was lovely. The relax room came equipped with great massage chairs which was enough of a treatment alone. The treatments were great, relaxing and staff friendly. Free juice, fruit and hot drinks all day. Excellent experience, I will be booking again and have recommended it to my friends and family

Glorious pampering!

What a wonderful day! I arrived at the St David\'s Spa to be greeted with my fluffy bathrobe and slippers and guidance to the spa\'s extensive facilities along with the times of my treatments and where to go for lunch. The morning was spent floating in the Jacuzzi, enjoying a relaxing swim in the warm pool, popping into the sauna and warming from the sun streaming through the windows. Lunch was divine, three courses with drinks and fruit available to help you with the option of sitting indoors or out on the terrace. Following lunch I made my way to the treatment rooms, a full body exfoliation, massage and facial - the effort was to not drift off into a deep sleep! Finally a manicure to complete the rejuvenated feeling! This was an absolutely heavenly day. My only grumble was that as part of the day I should have received a pedicure also which was missed by the staff but did not realise this until after departing. A superb gift!
