Ahhh – Chumash Casino and Spa!

Very relaxing afternoons can be spent in the hot tub and pool at Chumash.

The best part of travel is experiencing a hidden gem.
That is my experience at the Chumash Casino and Resort which is tucked into the Santa Ynez mountains north of Santa Barbara and near Solvang.
I loved it.
And what I loved the most was the experience for the price – just $23.50 for a day pass!
This spa offered an outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, a relaxation room of soothing tea and snacks, showers with conveniences plus various treatment rooms.
The afternoon began with my sisters and bestie celebrating a special birthday. We went upstairs to the bar which features specialty cocktails infused with what else – Tequila – a Southern California staple.
Then we each signed up for casino cards which gave us a $1.50 off the spa’s regular pass price of just $25.
We luxuriated in the pools, laid in the sun, munched on snacks, sipped complimentary water and enjoyed a day in the California sun.
This experience is HIGHLY recommended.
And I am now a spa convert – on the lookout for similar deals!
