My first and last massage occurred seven years ago.
Aloha! Greetings from Maui…while perusing the resort grounds, I happened upon the Spa. I asked, just for the heck of it (as my budget is tight), to see the Spa menu. I quickly skimmed through the menu…facials, massages, and body treatments.
My eyes rested when I came across the Ultimate Cocoon body treatment. The menu description read: a relaxing soak in a sea-salt and botanical-extract whirlpool. Next, sink down into a warm cocoon bed for an Ayurvedic oil-blend wrap…
A warm cocoon bed? As in caterpillar-cocoon-butterfly sort of thing? Before I could stop myself, I found a spa attendant, and quizzed her about the cocoon bed. Her reply, “It’s one of our finest services. It’s almost like being in a womb. You’re cradled, enveloped and massaged in a waterbed type machine. It simulates being on a raft bobbing and floating in the ocean.”
Seriously? Bobbing, cocooning, floating, womb? I nearly howled with laughter. Who makes this stuff up? The spa attendant continued, “It’s couples month, should you and your husband opt for this service, you’ll receive a 20% discount.
Say no more, I quickly made reservations for hubby and I. And, yes the Ultimate Cocoon body treatment was everything the spa attendant said it would be; and phenomenally more…
My favorite moments of our vacation…
Attending the Feast at Lele–a polynesian luau featuring hula dancing; Pacific O’s Pineapple and Ginger Martini; Spago’s Spicy Parmesean Flatbread and Carmelized Maui Onion Focaccia; lounging languorously by the pool while reading Semi-Charmed Life; falling asleep each night to the sound of waves gently crashing along the shoreline; and needless to say, the Ultimate Cocoon body treatment and massage.
