Popped my massage cherry at Sahra with an 80 minute signature massage! Bernard did an excellent job switching between the different techniques (Swedish, Shiatsu, Thai) that I did not think for a second I only paid for one type of massage. Before I had my massage, I was dealing with chronic pain and boy did the pain ever melt away! Its been 3 days now since the service and I can feel the difference in my body- no more stiff muscles and aches from my bad postures! I sleep better and feel more revitalized.
Check in was not an issue, I was helped promptly and luckily for me there was no line at the time. I've noticed some people had complained about the locals discount not being applied but as I was checking in, I was asked for my ID right away to verify my local status (I made sure to emphasize it at the time of booking). As I was walking down the sandstone hallway, I was greeted promptly by the locker room attendant, Karen, who to my surprise was standing right at the door as I was slowly inching to the lockers in awe of the hallway and in full on tourist mode taking pictures. She gave me a rundown of where things are in the locker room without walking to each and every space (which was fine with me) and shortly presented me with a locker. Spent the rest of my morning into the early afternoon enjoying the spa's amenities! The only downsides were the cool mist room which didn't produce a strong spritz of water and the shower stall I was in because the water didn't drain right away and the bath mat that was in the stall got completely drenched! To me these are minor things in the bigger picture because I enjoyed my massage and stay so much. Will definitely revisit!
