I'm not a fan, at all, of the rounded text boxes.
If you'd fully explored the possibilities herein, you might've pulled something quite novel and engaging off. As it is, you have slightly-unreadable text delivered awkwardly, as a gimmick.
Code controlling bauble position spacks out intermittently, flicking in between two 'seed states' (I guess?). Also, the motion's not exactly smooth — I'm on a fairly fast machine here, and these delectable baubles are glitching a bit. And I'm a geek, with a high toelrance for that kind of thing. Not sure your average spa-goer would be so forgiving. Image masking on nav baubles seems broken too? (I can see rectangular edges underneath?)
Overall navigation is confusing too.
I'm guessing you've tried to drive a lot of impact from very little content, which is commendable... but tbh, I think a much, much simpler site would better serve their needs.
Perhaps not their ego, but certainly their needs.
