| - I had a couple's massage with my husband at Spa Mandalay. I liked the facilities- the pool/hot tub is beautiful and relaxing- this is why my review is 2 stars instead of 1. The massage itself was not good. My masseuse (male, can't remember his name, but had glasses) asked if I had anything he wanted me to focus on before we got started. I said that I prefer to not have a lot of pressure, on the lighter side is better. He said ok, and we got started. Clearly he didn't listen to me because I was in pain for about 85% of the massage. In particular, my back/shoulder area was torn up. I have had at least 10 massages in various spas in Vegas and other locations, and I haven't had this much pain during a massage. I know the difference between healthy massage where some minor pain occurs and someone just hurting me. He took his thumb and completely dug into my shoulder blade area- several times! Plus, when I was lying on my tummy and he was working on my legs, his hands went way over my comfort zone and all over my butt. Like I said, I have had several other massages and this was not what I was used to. When he had me flip over, he just lifted the sheet completely off of me with no warning (hello! I'm naked in here!) and said "ok, time for the other side." He was holding the sheet up kind of in front of his face, but I felt very uncomfortable. Usually the masseuse asks me to flip over while the sheet is still on me.
My husband said his masseuse (female) was all over the place and didn't use enough pressure, even when asked repeatedly. I will never come back to Spa Mandalay.
