Following my Grand Spa Massage the night before, I took the advice of my massage therapist and booked a Deep Tissue Massage. Now, I get deep tissue work done pretty regular from my regular massage therapist (see M-Spa) and I have also written about the Deep Relief Massage at the Lodge at Woodloch. So, i...
When checking out a new spa, I always like to try one of their Signature Treatements. Its what the spa is choosing to distinguish itself with, and so I like to use that as a basis of my assessment of the spa. For the Grand Spa at Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa, this...
I had a trip to Costa Rica for work, and so i was determined to tack on a couple of personal days and experience a spa. I was on a short timeline for a spa visit, and wanted something very unique to Costa Rica, so rather than opt for the beaches and any of...

Ah, Mii Amo… When I really got serious on setting my sights to hit all the top destination spas, I had to put Mii Amo on the top of my list of spas to try because it was so highly rated (most recently, the 2019 Winner of the World’s Best Awards by Travel & Leisure). ...
So given that I was working my way through a Top 10 List of Destination Spas, it was only a matter of time before I headed out to Miraval, in Tucson, Arizona. I was curious how Miraval compared to Mii Amo, as they are both consistently in the Top 10, and usually jockeying for position....
As a hotel, the Park Kenmare Hotel is really nice, but you have to be used to the typical Irish, English and Country Manor turned hotel. So, you have to know what you are getting into from an accommodations perspective. From the hotel, you walk down a hall to connect to the more modern spa...
