When I enter the spa, I head down this well lit staircase lined with little potted plants. I can here the waterfall and soothing music coming from the reception area. I cross a little bridge
a little pond of water and make my way to the front desk to check in for my appointment.
If they have me wait, I take a seat in one of these canopy daybeds and kick back with a magazine. Then I am escorted to my private room.
The foot massage room usually has two plushy purple velvet chairs with a matching footstool. Each room is geared with air conditioning and a TV if you choose to use them. Before your escort leaves you in the room to either change or get comfy in the chair, they take your order. Did I mention that they give you free food from a full menu. They offer anything from dumplings, fruit plates, beef and noodles, and hamburgers to watermelon juice, tea, and omelets. Also if you feel like it you can change into these little scrubs that they give you. Next your masseuse will come in with a giant wooden barrel of hot water. As you slowly ease your feet into the extremely hot water, they add cinnamon and aromatherapy bath salts to soothe the skin and make it smell yummy. Next the masseuse will have you turn around and sit on the foot stool with your back to him and your first half hour of the 90 minute massage begins with a deep tissue back massage. Once you're completely relaxed, he will move onto your feet. You turn back towards him, this time he brought me a couple hot pads...one for my neck and one for my back, then you recline the chair and the reflexology foot massage begins. All this for only $25!! Just writing this made me realize I should probably go back tomorrow for another one!
