We booked a 60 minute full body massage each and upgraded for £10 to use the spa totalling £180.
The massage was top notch. You are offered a deep tissue, Hawaiian or Swedish. I chose deep tissue and the technique of the masseuse was excellent. I Turku felt relaxed and my back felt great.
I was however disappointed by the condition of the spa. My shower drain was loose in the shower, the head of the shower coming off, the locker Wood was hanging off. It was clean and we were the first people in that day. The massage beds did elevate which was nice and the heated bed worked.
For a 5 star spa the attention to detail needs to be better. During the massage there was no warm blanket, just a white towel over the body so you got cold. So your under body was warm but you too and feet were freezing. The relax room had the pool pump next to it which was loud and the hot water came from a plastic kettle. St Pierre have a plumbed in instant hot water tap which is where a 5 star should be.
I also had to listen and watch the reception staff speak in their native tongue whilst eating their lunch. I’d suggest closing the door to allow for the opulent 5 star experience.
For anyone driving there is outside parking on a 1 hour limit but most likely these will be taken if you go midday. Guernsey parking in town is a challenge and 1 hour isn’t enough for a treatment.
This is a place to get an amazing massage, but an all day relaxing spa, it needs work and attention to detail to create the relaxing ambience you get from a 5 star spa.

Jack was excellent from start to finish during my job search. Before looking for any roles he phoned me up to find out a little bit more about me and ask what I was ideally looking for from my next role. He even helped tweak parts of my CV. Jack was swift with his responses and would always phone after interviews which was a nice personal touch. I will refer Jack to any friends looking for new employment.

In June 2012, Virgin_Express said about St Pierre Park Hotel
OK, so our suite was lovely, with good facilities, a connecting extra room so we could keep the kids out of earshot and a fabulous terrace garden with lovely views of the gardens/lake/golf course, loads of furniture and a hot tub to die for.
The staff were very attentive and friendly and there seemed plenty of them.
The grounds are also lovely and the common areas are fine, if not a patch on the suite. It all sort of goes down hill after that thought I'm afraid.
We had a shocking lunch when we first arrived - my seafood salad seemed to have all come straight from the 'deli' counter at Tesco with very little fresh fish in sight, and Mrs D's Caesar salad had the soggiest croutons and half cooked bacon imaginable. The kiddies' jacket potatoes had most definitely seen better days. Anyway, we voted with our feet and didn't dare eat at the hotel again...
What made this trip memorable though (for all the wrong reasons) was the incredible racket we had to put up with on our first night from the wedding party downstairs. The whole place was literally vibrating to the rhythm of the bass line. Amazing. I had a right royal rant and the very gracious receptionist Sinead immediately offered us another room. However as the kids were asleep next door one of us to stay in the suite while I, the lucky one, got to move to a quieter room. The whole thing put a major dampener on our stay though as we were pretty shattered after a hard week's work, and really just wanted to go to bed when we go to the hotel. As a result we were both tired the next day and had to deal with our lively kids without enough sleep. Hardly what you pay for a suite for!
The manager did refund the cost of the first night at my request; on the suite, not on the extra room, which might have been reasonable in the circumstances, but total war was avoided.
So, if you are planning on staying here make sure you ask if there is a wedding on and if your room is above the party venue, because if it is I very much doubt if you will sleep!

In June 2012, Shemat said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We recently spent a few days at this hotel. The rooms were of a high corporate standard without being earth shattering, but were well appointed and had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent with a massive buffet selection which all seemed fresh and very tasty. Didn't suffer from slow replenishment as some other hotels we have stayed at. Staff were plentiful, very friendly and helpful. The leisure complex was well equipped and clean. The grounds are wonderful with a large lake in the garden (although the fountain played havoc with my bladder while in the gym).
We didn't use the hotels restaurant so can't comment but there is a huge choice of places to eat in town. Hire car was worth having as its a long walk to the harbour area (about 30 mins). We had a bar snack on arrival and that was very good.

Location is little bit outside of St Peter port, about 20 minute walk. Nice pool and gym. We mostly ate in the bar, and didn't try the restaurant. Big portion sizes in the bar. Good breakfast, lots to choose from. I had a room with a coffee machine and iPod dock, although I don't think this is a standard in all rooms.
