A pedicure is $225? Really?!? What in Heaven's name do they do? I've been to nice spas and $90 is the most I've ever seen a pedi cost. If the prices are that crazy, I'd do something you can't easily get done somewhere else. Do they have a signature treatment? I might go with that.
Whether I chose a wrap or a massage would depend on whether I wanted to experiment and try out something cool for the experience or really relax and feel good. If you really want to relax and feel rejuvenated, I think you can't go wrong with a massage. And I'd stick with a straight forward one like a deep tissue. If you want to experiment, something like a Thai massage or an Indian Head massage is fun. If they had a two person-four hands massage, that would be really tempting to me. I've always wanted to do that.
I personally would even skip the mani/pedi for a super long deep tissue massage.
But if I could spend as much time/money, I'd get a mani/ped + a 90 min deep tissue massage and maybe a facial,although I'm not a huge facial fan.
Oh, if they have waxing, I'd get my eyebrows waxed too.
have fun!!!

I am all about massages. I also like salt and sugar scrubs.

i would check out their packages first. top of the list for me would be a massage and some type of body treatment that involves exfoliating and moisturizing. if i could do it all, i would also want a facial, wax (full bikini, full legs, underarms, and arms) and a mani-pedi. but those are services that i might get done anyways elsewhere (i already have a person (people) whose work i like).
Thanks everyone for your input- it has been really helpful!
I decided to get a Spa Facial (90 minutes), Pre-massage Hydrotherapy, and a Specialty Body Therapy- which is a 2 hour full body mask and a head to toe massage. Sounds fabulous. And, they threw in a complimentary foot therapy! Yay! Even better, they had to stretch the appointments over 2 days since I needed it in the afternoon, so for 2 days I have full access to all the spa amenities. Heavenly. I can't wait!
Thanks again everyone!

My favorites are the longest facial they offer and the longest pedi offered. I've tried massages and I'm not a fan (I am always a little uncomfortable- even with a female masseuse) and I've had body wraps and I'm not a big fan of those either. But I tend to be pretty modest.
If you've never had a body wrap or relaxing massage, I'd say now's the time to try it! You wont' know if you like it unless you've tried it once. Oh, and if it's a really nice spa, enjoy the steam room and whirlpool.
Sounds wonderful! Enjoy!
