We had an amazing couples massage from Jennifer and Mauren. Very relaxing and beautiful setting. Later I saw from the pictures that they also have a sauna in there, would have loved to do that at the same time. Wished someone would have mentioned about this. Also, I would suggest having the massage rooms doors open to hear the calming sounds of nature. A calming tea after the massage would be nice as well to slowly come back after the treatment since they have a beautiful terrace.
