I have friends who use to tell me that every time they went on vacation, they went to a different spa. I honestly didn’t “get it”. Well guess what? I’ve changed my mind. I get it now.
It’s been the YEAR OF THE SPA. Let’s review:
April 2010. Mandarin Oriental Hotel – Las Vegas
The atmosphere is very “zen like” with Japanese inspirations everywhere. I liked how all your treatments faced the strip so you could enjoy spactacular views while getting your treatments, relaxing, sitting in the jacuzzi etc.
See what I mean? everything faces the strip...
November 2010 – Ritz Carlton Palm Beach
This spa was truly gorgeous. I loved the color schemes, the furniture, the wishing well…even the little cupcakes. They thought of everything and I was SO glad the weather was lousy that day and I chose to go to the spa instead of the mall (I’m so smart). LOL
Ritz Carlton Spa - Palm Beach
March 2011 – Ritz Carlton Cayman Islands
This spa is one of the few spas in the world that is a La Prairie Spa…so I was intrigued. I had also hear that the caviar massage was well worth it but sadly my budget would only allow for a manicure. It was the first time I have ever had a manicure in a spa and indeed it was worth it. I took full advantage of the wet sauna, dry sauna and jacuzzi plus there were a few extra steps in the manicure that I really enjoyed.
A great spot to relax....
Next on my list: The Russian Turkish Bathhouse in New York City. I know I know..its not a spa but you know what I mean.
Now I need to discover Spas in Toronto. I’ve only been to one!!
