Another great experience at Spa Na'mara with Summer! I have had two facials so far with Summer and both times I have been completely happy with my experience and the results.
First let's talk about the spa: it is located at Hotel Indigo. There is a side entrance to the spa (there are signs that lead you there) and there is parking available for spa customers. Inside the spa are lockers/changing area and shower. After changing into the robe and slippers they provided me, I was able to enjoy a refreshment (my fav-cucumber water) in the spa waiting area (there are also some magazines there). The esthetician greeted me and escorted me to the treatment room. They had soothing music playing and the bed/table was heated to perfection, just those two things alone put me in a relaxing mood instantaneously!
Now let's talk about their gifted esthetician: She actually examines your skin and listens to your concerns and needs! (What a concept!) The two facials I have had were customized based on my needs at that moment; this is important to me; If I am going to spend money on a service, I want it to make a difference and matter. I felt listened to and that my skin care needs were taken care of. The products felt good on my skin, there was an awesome shoulder, neck, scalp and hand massage (so good!), and I left each appointment with clean glowing skin. Even a week later, my skin still looked and felt great; like, "I-only-need-mascara-today" great! After my facial, I was provided a piece of dark chocolate (yes, please!) and more time to relax in the spa waiting area. I sipped on some delicious hot tea and just enjoyed the moment until I was ready to go back to reality, (just typing this description makes me want to go back to that moment, so relaxed and extremely content)!
Added bonus: Summer seems really passionate and educated on skin care and products (and since I like to know things) she was happy to ALL answer my questions regarding the products she used and the ingredients. I appreciated that I didn't get any pressure to buy products and Summer even recommended products that I could pick up elsewhere to fit my needs and budget. All in all, the most wonderful, relaxing experience with added knowledge on my skin. I will definitely be returning.
Side note (food!): on one occasion, after my facial, I was able to go to the hotel bar/lounge area and enjoy a drink and some yummy lunch (hey, might as well extend an awesome day with a cocktail!) read more
