| - So I am definitely not rich enough to be regular member of Gainey Village...or any Village for that matter. However, for a special treat, my husband booked us a couple's massage at the Gainey Village Spa recently.
So my review is a little biased because up until this point I was a professional massage virgin. Yep, that's right, I had never before had a professional massage. Pretty crazy, huh? I have to admit that I was surprisingly nervous about going in for my first massage. I didn't really know what to expect, but had heard that it was a romantic experience that sometimes ended in a warm bath together. That initially sounded a little weird to me, but decided it might be kind of fun. I was a little disappointed when the couple's massage turned out to be just that: a couple's massage. We both laid in a room together and had a simultaneous massage. So that was a little disappointing, but I have to say that the massage itself was so relaxing that it didn't matter what my expectations had been.
I really wish that I could remember the name of my masseuse because she was great. Upon telling her that it was my first massage she immediately went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. She was warm, friendly, and checked on me regularly to make sure I was relaxed and enjoying myself. Plus, she was quite talented with her hands (yes, I'm aware that sound dirty, but I'm okay with it). I couldn't have asked for someone better.
The spa locker room is also something that deserves comment. It's pretty damn awesome. There's a lovely sitting room with plenty of complimentary beverages, magazines, and comfy chairs. I wanted to try out the steam room, but went with what I knew...the sauna. The showers were clean and heavenly and they had every toiletry I could have needed. I could have spent all afternoon just lounging in that locker room.
So, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my first spa experience. I hope to have many more!
