Usually I'm staring at myself in a mirror when I get my hair cut. But when Elaine cut my hair at Los Elementos I had a much better view -- looking out over Lake Atitlan to Toliman and Atitlan, the two volcanoes you can see from the big front windows of the spa/salon! She and her husband, Lee, provided great... more

My wife and I were massaged by Elaine. I prefer deep tissue and she doesn't, so we were a little skeptical at first. We both thoroughly enjoyed Elaine's magical touch. She was able to loosen up some of my stressful points. Her spa is just a few feet from the lakes waves hitting the shore and creating a soothing atmosphere... more

I lived in Santa Cruz for most of '07 and always had Elaine Beal cut my hair and wax my legs. I am very picky about beauty treatments (especially my hair), but I have to say Elaine was one of the best!

I have had the honor to recieve from Elaine many times and each experience was unique and perfectly addressed my needs at the time. She has the most loving warm touch with the knowledge to guide your body and mind to work together in harmony. more

Elaine provided one of the most intentional, fully present, and relaxing massages I have ever had. I look forward to getting a facial next time, along with a massage! more

During my first trip to Guatemala I had the lucky fortune to happen upon Elaine during a stay a Lake Atitlan. My massage/facial was absolutely amazing! I returned a whole year later to Lake Atitlan specifically to have a massage from Elaine with my two best girlfriends! One of my girlfriends gets massages weekly in the US and said that... more

Had a massage from Elaine a few weeks ago - $25 for an hour! It was a fantastic massage, one of the best I've ever had. She offers many other services that I wish I'd had the time to experience as well! If you are going to be on Lake Atitlan, treat yourself to a trip to Elaine's spa. more
