Grupo Mayan Resorts: Becoming Conversant with Spa Etiquette

To really belong with spa-gurus and to qualify as a spa patron, you must learn and practice a certain code of conduct.  Knowing what is expected of you while in a spa makes the experience rewarding and deeply satisfying, say the spa professionals within the Grupo Mayan resorts.

The following is a simple guideline of what to do during your session at a favourite spa:

  1. When booking for a session in advance, ensure that you have all the details at hand. Just pick a brochure of the spa in advance and study the pricing of all available treatments. If however you need to reschedule or even cancel a booked appointment, call at least a day before the appointment is due, say the Grupo Mayan experts.
  2. It is also advisable to request for detailed information about the specific type of treatment you would like to book before making commitments. This avoids disappointments in your part.
  3. You can also ask which therapist has been assigned to you. This gives you an opportunity to choose either a male or female therapist depending on your preference, say the Grupo Mayan professionals.
  4. On the material day, ensure that you wear suitable clothes. Remember that you will have to undress in respect to the spa treatment that you have booked. Most spas avail comfortable robes and slippers for the clients. In fact, spa personnel are professionally trained in draping techniques so that they accord you both comfort and privacy during the treatment.
  5. It goes without saying that you should arrive early with at least 20 minutes to spare prior to the scheduled appointment. This ensures that you gain a calm and relaxed poise before beginning the spa treatment, say the Grupo Mayan experts.
  6. Before the treatment begins, or preferably during the booking stage, ensure that you alert your therapist of any current or chronic health complication or condition you may be having. This allows for special arrangements and precautions to be in place before commencing on your treatment.
  7. During the time you are in the spa, consider and respect the other spa clientele. Keep away the cell phones or pagers, say the Grupo Mayan experts, because the reason you are there anyway, is to relax.
  8. Be willing and ready to listen and respect the therapist’s advise and guidance while preparing for or going through your treatment. Just relax and enjoy the spa treatment.
  9. However, don’t accept anything meekly. You have a right to speak during the treatment. Express your preference and likes, request for clarifications, give feedback about your personal comfort level, the products used or any other sensitive area.
  10. As you enjoy the comfort of the room, remember that there may be other clients waiting to use the same space. Spend only your allocated time, say the Grupo Mayan professionals.
