• From the time I step foot in the door I feel as though I am on a mini vacation. The music is very soothing and the decor is tropical chic. After I leave I am so relaxed and can't wait for my next tanning session! – DorothyK, Citysearch
• It is a wonderful place to tan as all the personnel is extremely helpful even with a novice tanner like me. They made sure I wouldn't look like a little red lobster instead and their recommendations for the use of products was awesome. – Niduna, CityVoter
