Lisa's massage was a perfect balance of relaxing / aromatherapy style combined with sports / tension release techniques. Somehow she managed to work through a LOT of tension in my shoulders without it once feeling like too much pressure or too little, literally perfect, and I walked away with exactly the 'released and relaxed' feeling I was after. She's a genius! Excellent value and you can also use the steam, sauna & gym facilities at the hotel too. I have knocked one star off for ambiance because of a couple of minor niggles, the treatment room isn't that well insulated from the spa noises, and one large door in particular makes a lot of noise and we heard one gent singing to himself in the sauna which gave us a giggle but could be a bit off-putting if you want total tranquility. I also had trouble locating a cash machine on arrival and couldn't do a bank transfer (so go prepared on that one). On balance it was a small downside for otherwise great value session and I will be going back again with my swimsuit packed :-)
Treatment by Lisa Ryan•Back, Neck & Shoulders Massage
There was a lot of focus on the shoulders which was very nice but not as much on the lower back as I had hoped. The facial was very good but I wish I had blown my nose first, haha! The music and temperature of the room was amazing and everything smelled so good. Lisa was very responsive and softened up a bit when asked and didn't make me feel embarrassed at all! Very professional but welcoming environment. Definitely coming back again. I fancy trying her sports massage next to really work at my tension spots! Still so good that I fell asleep a little and have been smiling for half an hour. 100% satisfied!
