Camelback Spa

Posted on by

My wife and I decided to travel to Scottsdale, Arizona to try out The Spa at Camelback Inn this month. The Spa is known for it’s outstanding facilities. The location of the spa was very nice. There were unique desert and mountain backdrop. The spa offered fantastic spa treatments that my wife loved. The Camelback Inn is part of the JM Marriott Resort & Spa family so you know you are going to get high quality service and comfort.

The package that we got included the room and two sixty minute spa treatments per day. In between, you can to enjoy the beautiful pool and scenic surroundings. We are also able to do hikes in the nearby deserts which were amazing.
There are two 18 hole golf courses so I was able to get a few rounds of golf in. I really liked this resort and it was a great opportunity to travel and enjoy Scottsdale.

Local foot massage

Posted on by

We have all heard about the usefulness of getting a foot massage.  Foot massage spa are popping up all over the United States.  The benefits of a foot massage started in China.  Where certain points in your foot connect to specific regions in your body and by apply pressure on those pressure points, you can relieve specific symptoms associated to areas within your body.

In the United States, there are two types of foot massage.  Reflexology which was described above and the second version is for relaxation purposes only.  Using basic techniques, your foot is gently massage with oils .  Through gentle, gliding strokes, the entire foot is able to relax.

But if you are looking for the type of holistic foot massage that was perfected in China, you will need to go travel to China to get that type of expert treatment.  You might be able to find an adequate substitution traveling to any China town district in your area and trying a foot massage there.  At least it will give you a general idea if it is something that you want to purpose further.

Besides it’s a lot cheaper to test it out first before you send a lot of money traveling to China.

Traveling to spa

Posted on by

One of the finest things to do is to take a trip and go to a spa.  We all know that traveling can be a pain in the ass.  Whether it’s for business or recreation.  Traveling can be unpleasant.  What better way to take the edge off by visiting a spa.  Airports, like Hong Kong, have the right idea.  They have spas, inside the airport so that international travelers who are waiting on their connecting flights can go to the spa, take a shower and get a massage, facial, and almost anything else that you can think off – time permitting.  I wish those amenities were available in the United States.

Inside our concept of spa travel is to go on a trip and stay at a hotel that has a great spa.  In fact, most people go to a resort or a vacation destination purely for the spa.  Not a bad idea.  I prefer looking for a hotel for what it has to offer in terms of location, rooms, price, and conveniences.  The spa is secondary.  Besides, when I get to my hotel, I like to ask for recommendations from the locals.  I figure they would know better than any article that I can read about off the Internet.

I the days to come, we will touch on more spa ideas and tips.
