Monthly Spa Update – New Season

The new season has started, the weather is beautiful and it feels good to welcome our guests to the Spa. Whether they are “first-timers” or some of our many “regulars”, we enjoy sharing with them and helping them to relax and release all the stress that everyone carries around.

costa rica toucanSpeaking of our returning guests, the other morning on my way into the Spa, I was quite surprised to see a large Toucan perched on the back of a chair on the front veranda! The Toucans are almost always around up in the trees around the resort, but they usually don’t make themselves quite so “at home”.

This month, I’m going to highlight one of our most enjoyed treatments, the Deluxe Hot Chocolate Massage, so that you may begin to get a feel for what ways we use ordinary items to create an extra-ordinary experience!

Deluxe Hot Chocolate

Relax and indulge yourself with a sweet, soft and warm application of Chocolate all over your body. The cacao, rich in natural antioxidants, (vitamin A & E) softens your skin and makes it more elastic. Our exclusive formula of warm cocoa revitalizes and nourishes the skin as it relaxes the body. The body is then wrapped in plastic and a blanket to enhance the total effect. A luxurious Hot Stones massage follows, then finishing with a fondue application of chocolate oil.

Have you heard about Hot Stones Massage? If you have never experienced this unique indulgence, you are missing out!!!

Our Hot Stones massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with a Swedish massage.

Hot Stones massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all the stress that is in your muscles. It is really an amazing experience for yourself or to offer to the ones you know will love it!!!

This treatment is perfect people all ages, adults and children!

See you at the Spa!
