We had an awful day on a jetski tour that was in a small craft warning. Felt like getting into repeated car accidents. We were celebrating our engagement from the week prior and decided to treat ourselves to a couples massage. I also decided to book a classic manicure and spa pedicure before the message. This spa had better reviews than our hotel's spa, so we decided the walk from the hotel was worth it. (less than 2 minutes from Southernmost Beach Resort)
I showed up for my mani and pedi with Daymi. What an eccentric and outgoing young woman. I loved how she talked with me the entire 90 minutes. Typically I spend the time on my phone, but I did not even pull it out of my pocket! I really loved that about her. I picked a color and she suggested a different one because it would last longer. (she was right) She did a great manicure and pedicure. I wanted the spa pedicure because my feet were killing me. I thought there would be more massaging, but I was ok with the fact that there wasn't because I had a massage set up afterwards. The pedicure ended with putting my feet into hot wax stuff which I did not like at all. Daymi was totally cool with that and told me not to worry about it and she took it off my bill, which I did not even ask for. Much appreciated. I really cannot say enough good things about Daymi. She truly has passion for her job and it shows.
I got done early and waited a short while for my fiance to show up. We had to fill out a short form and had to wait. It was a rainy day, so when I made the reservation and they asked if I wanted the massage indoors or outdoors, I of course said indoors. The girl who did my massage came over to talk to us and ask us if we knew what the outdoor area looked like, which we did not. I am so thankful that she did this. The outdoor area was a covered, heated room, it was beautiful. I asked her if it was too late to change to that, and she said no problem and set it up.
I made sure to put on my form that I needed the massage to be gentle, as a I suffer from fibromyalgia and several other health issues. I also asked her to pay attention to my feet. I enjoyed the massage, it was very relaxing. I really enjoyed listening to the rain and the fountain the entire time. My fiance, who had never gotten a massage before, did not enjoy his. Although he has nothing to compare it to, it was not what he expected. He said she was acting more like a chiropractor pulling his arms in various directions. So I do not know if I can get him in a massage again in the future, as he was not to thrilled about this one. I was also surprised we were not given an opportunity to shower afterwards.
I would have given 5 stars for my experience, but I wanted to include my fiance's expereince which brought it to 4. I also wish that I could remember the names of the women who did our massages. The woman who did my massage was blonde, while the woman who did my fiance's was brunette with her hair tied back.
Overall, if we go back to Key West, I will see Daymi for my nails again. I might even get a single massage there. But I think we will go somewhere else for a couples massage. read more
