After breakfast we meandered back to our room and set up shop on our patio that resides next to the pool. It is so nice to just walk outside the room and BE at the pool! I don’t think we could vacation any other way from now on!! :)
At 1 pm, it was time
to head to the Miilé spa for our Excellence Couples Massage. OMG - what an AMAZING experience for us to have on our first real day here. The first hour of the experience was what they called Marine Wellness - a circuit that lets you work directly with salt water in aqua exercises, massages with jets, and cascades, with contrast with the iced pool and make the perfect preamble to the Hammam, the arab style steam baths. We also experienced a steam room, the sauna and several sensation showers included one where a bucket of lukewarm water is dropped over your head creating a wonderful sensation.Our next stop was the Excellence Massage - Replenish and energize your body with this exclusive blend of Swedish massage, shiatsu pressure points, body stretching, aromatherapy and lomi techniques that will help to release muscle tension and ride the body of tiredness and fatigue.
I don’t think that we have ever been more relaxed than after that massage. We both literally fell asleep - there were actual snores coming from the tables! Once we left the spa we decided the room service was in order - especially since we missed lunch at all the restaurants. Another great meal! The food at this place is really great - and you know how much we love to eat!
We are back in the room after enjoying a night of music under the stars. Tomorrow we head out for our first excursion to Chichen Itza - should be a good time. Nighty night!!
Quick note - we do not have our camera card reader so you will all have to wait on photos until we return. We do have our Flip video camera so there will be video!
