Apex Spa Hotel- Dundee


As a little treat for finishing my exams, i was taken on a much needed relaxing night away at the Apex Spa hotel in Dundee and i felt the need to share the trip with you for anyone that is looking for a relaxing weekend away or a luxury day at a spa that wont break the bank-  i couldnt recommend the Apex hotel enough!

The package that i had was amazing!! it included: one night stay; a complimentary drink on arrival; 2 luxury spa treatments; full access to the facilities (pool, gym, sauna, jaccuzi etc); a 3 course meal in the evening and a buffet breakfast in the morning- all for around £250 per person BARGAIN! I am unsure if that package is still available but there are always some great deals on the website so have a look through them before you book anything as you will save lots of money!


When we first arrived; we went straight to our spa treatments which we had pre booked. I chose to have a back and shoulder massage and a facial- pure bliss! The treatments were completely customised to you and they used products that were suited to your needs and skin type. The room was so peaceful with the lights dimmed and calming music playing. I came out of the treatments so zen- i could have fallen asleep there and then. After the treatments were done i continued the relaxation with a trip to the steam room and jaccuzzi- why not?

The room was much better than i expected, it was so spacious with extremely comfortable beds; a large flat screen tv, a bath AND a shower. It even came with a complimentary rubber duck in the bath that you could take home with you. yes you read that right! And yes of course i jumped at the chance of taking it home haha! We got a twin room which was more than enough room, it was so spacious and immaculately clean- it even had a beautiful view of a river from our window.










The staff were also so lovely, me being the typical blonde i am, couldnt work the dvd rental on the televison so at midnight i had to ask room service to come up and help. For someone to come up at that time of night just to press a simple button, she was lovely and completely laughed it off. The staff during the meals were also so kind and chatty, i love staff that will have a good conversation or two so this made me extra happy!

Moving onto the meals, i couldn't fault them, the 3 course dinner was from a set menu which was a tad to fancy for me but my mum loved it. The deal also stated that if you didn't like the set menu they would pay £25 towards your meal off of the regular menu, which is a brilliant idea for fussy eaters like me as i only had to pay £5 more and the meal amazing and definatley better than me getting the set menu that i wouldn't eat- smart move Apex!

The hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of Dundee and walking distance (around 10 minutes) from the main street with all of the shopping centres and restaurants. It is also close to the bars and clubs, and across the road from Malmaison which is perfect for fancy cocktails. This means there will always be something to do- aside from all of the things to do in the hotel- and you wont have to pay for a bus or taxi to do so!


If you are looking for a nice break away then the Apex is THE place to go! There are ones in Dundee, Edinburgh and Dundee so check them out! Let me know if you have been to the Apex before or if you are planning to go and how you liked it! I would love to hear if the Apex in London and Edinburgh compare to the Apex Dundee

Lots of Love
