Nick M.Nick Mirto: Amazing spa. I have had spa massages and facials in central America, Asia, Europe and from coast to coast in the USA. Yamile gives one of the best I have ever had anywhere.

Jessica S.Jessica Santascoy: Massage is great - they use lots of oil (to help balance the body). Ask for the massage that's good for jet lag if you've been traveling. Everyone should get a consultation with Pratima.
