During my stay I had a Seasonal Botanical Spa Facial by WATERLILY which is suitable for all skin types and great for Firming and Brightening and Hydrating your skin.

My Spa Therapist was actually the Spa Director Isabelle Neil and I have to say she is one of the best Spa Therapist’s, Facialist, I have ever experienced in the Palm Cove, Far North Queensland, Cairns Region.

Isabelle Neil is originally from Switzerland, and was trained in France by creme de la creme, Clairns, Chanel, Dior and Phytomer, Isabelle specialises in intensive therapies such as anti-ageing, deep relaxation massage and slimming treatments.

I loved the tropical day spa experience and after my facial experience it was the best my skin had felt in years.  I also love their spa pool that I got to use after my treatment too.
