“Not to be missed!”

Reviewed May 8, 2012

After a week traveling all over Brazil we were in need of a little pampering. We opted for a body scrub, massage and milk bath. I was ready to move in and never leave! The spa itself is beautiful and set on a hill surrounded by trees and forest. The staff was so attentive! We were the last two appointments... More

“Beyond Relaxing!”

Reviewed April 7, 2012

The massage I had at Shambhala Asian Day Spa was one of the most relaxing massages I have had. It was so relaxing that I fell asleep for a portion of it! The only downside is that there is a road in front of the spa so at times you can hear cars/trucks/motorcycles/etc. driving by. There is nothing you can... More

I just left Shambhala ten minutes ago and had to write about it. Ive visited spas around the world and have never received such attentive service. My package was supposed to be about 3.5 hours but I was there for over 4.5 hours and they never rushed me. The tasty snacks (fresh fruit & fresh baked goods) and beverages (tea... More

'rush' is most probably the reason why you need a good massage in the first place...when entering a spa, time should become relative to the experience. We are happy to hear that our team made you feel relaxed and at ease. Please do visit us again when you feel the need to escape from the 'urban jungle' of SP! More
