We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

To cater to the increased focus on overall well-being and the interconnectivity between the mind and the body, Serrano Spa at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino dedicates its energy to transformative wellness. Drawing inspiration from indigenous elements, the inventive menu is categorized by 11 healing crystal journeys, each with its own purpose. The spa team researched how each crystal benefits energy and the results it catalyzes.

If you want to take a wellness journey with a plus one, all services can be combined and customized to create a couple’s itinerary in this light and airy atmosphere. Full-service salon options are also available from cuts and color to beard grooming.

The journey doesn’t have to end after your spa treatments. Try an experience in the extensive calendar of programming, such as tarot card readings, sound healing, full-moon meditations and more.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Every journey is tailored to the amount of time you have and your desired areas of focus. The menu suggests a few treatments — including facials, body rituals and manicures and pedicures — all incorporating the chosen healing stone.
Before every service, relax in the Tranquility Lounge. There, your adventure begins with a grounding foot soak. With the beauty of the mountains in view, take a few moments to meditate and reflect.
For those seeking tranquility and purity, you will land on the turquoise journey, inspired by the currents of the ocean. A full-body enzyme exfoliation, followed by dry brushing to promote circulation and lymphatic flow, ends in a lather of cream and a wrap within a foil blanket, heating the body to remove impurities. To conclude, a deep massage with an oil blend of revitalizing eucalyptus and calming lavender brings you back into the room.
Once your therapist lays out the treatment plan, pick an additional alchemy — such as chill, inspire, meditation or reboot — to add on to the service and a colorful stone to take home, which matches to a card with an uplifting affirmation.
Arrive an hour before your treatment to enjoy the thermal amenities, as well as the sauna and steam rooms.

The Facilities

The Highland, California, spa is adjacent to the resort’s deck with two glistening pools, cabanas, a café and a bar. It is easy to slip out and take a dip.
Natural light plays a major role in the spa’s design. Treatment rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and the lights at a soothing level during services. The Tranquility Lounge features a stunning mountain vista with access to an expansive terrace.
If you arrive hungry, order a light lunch from the in-room dining menu. Refreshing fare includes the classic club sandwich, a poke bowl or light shrimp cocktail. Pair your meal with smoothies or even cocktails.
The spa boutique is not to be missed with many of the products found in Serrano’s bespoke treatment available to take home, along with jewelry, activewear, swimwear, candles and gifts.
Serrano Spa places a high importance on technology with Hyperice Hypervolt massages, LED treatments and HydraFacials.
