SWASANA SPA Retreat

Had my first SPA retreat this morning at my client's place - Swasana Spa@Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa. Delivered some collaterals for the trial run of the spa before the grand opening and was invited as a special guest to try out their massages. The ambient of the spa was awesome after seeing it before and after the renovations which took them about 8 months.

Most of the therapists were from Bali and for sure, they don't really speak English that well....and I've to request them to repeat :P. Was served warm ginger tea upon arrival and the therapist then explain what kind of treatment I'm about to do. I have to choose 1 from 5 different massage oils - balance, energize, spice, relax and calm. After all the smell testing, I've finally decided to go for 'balance' as I love the smell. Most of the oils are from spices and flower extracts.

Proceeded to a huge treatment room which was supposingly for couples :). Get myself changed and had 15mins steam bath with aromatherapy and then to floral bath in the bath tub. Lots of rose petals around me and I felt so relaxing soaking in the big tub....and the irony is, I didn't know that there's a button to turn on the bubbles of the jacuzzi! (Just found from my colleague after all the treatment - SHIT!). Thought a floral bath is juz soaking yourself in the tub in a calm water and clean yourself with a towel. Arghhh....how 'jakun' I am.

Well, I think that the therapist should tell what and how I should do throughout the treatment. Am sure that there's people like me who are first timers that don't really know how to operate a jacuzzi isn't it. Nevermind about that. Now I know :).

After the floral bath, get myself dried up with a huge towel and lie down on the massage bed. Hehe, there's actually a hole for me to fit my face in when I'm lying against the bed. Had balinese massage from toe to head. Everypart of my body was massage and I didn't felt any pain at all. I would say that my therapist was a good one in massaging. After 90mins, the whole treatment was completed. My whole body was oily and I couldn't have a shower as the therapist said that it's better to leave the oil on the body for at least 1 hr before showering. 'Good for the skin' - she said. Well, OK...as I don't really have much time to do that either. Need to rush back to office for some work. Got myself changed and was served another weird tea which tasted sour. It's called 'JAMU' ....yuckies...drank a sip and I couldn't finish it all.

Did the evaluation and most of the things on the list I ticked - Met Expectation - Yes - and - Good -. Well, it's worth trying out the Spa here. Massage was excellent and the price also very very 'nice'...The treatment I did for 90mins was actually RM270. Yikess~...$_$...

Hoping to get another treat and be able to press the button for a bubbling floral bath! Hahaha...
