Grupo Mayan Resorts: Spa Etiquette
A visit to the Grupo Mayan resort spa is indeed something that one can look forward to. Just imagining all the tension in your muscles melt away and being scrubbed and pampered will make you feel relaxed already.
However, you must keep in mind that there are actually spa etiquette that you should follow in order to make the experience enjoyable for you, the other guests and even the Grupo Mayan staff.
First, you must remember that spa goers are there to relax. It would ruin the quiet atmosphere and ambiance if you bring your cell phone and you constantly receive calls. It would probably be a good idea to leave it in your room or even your locker during the treatment or at least put it in silent or vibration mode in order to avoid disturbing the other Grupo Mayan guests.
In order to avoid feeling rushed by the Grupo Mayan therapist, it is better that you arrive early. An allowance of about 20 minutes will be enough to allow you to relax before the treatment starts. This way, the therapist can also make the necessary preparations and not wonder if you are going to show up or not.
If you are planning on using the steam room or hot tub, arriving 30 minutes before your treatment session will allow you to enjoy these facilities.
With regard to the music and the lighting, it is proper spa etiquette to ask the Grupo Mayan therapist politely to make the necessary adjustments. Always be polite and clear when asking for something in order to avoid any miscommunication.
Once the treatment session is over, your Grupo Mayan therapist will usually inform you that you can take your time getting up. It actually just means a couple of minutes – enough to allow you to get up slowly. If you are feeling sleepy, you can always head over to the meditation or waiting room and take a short nap.
As for tips, you should give your Grupo Mayan therapist at least 15 percent. If you are using a gift certificate, you can always ask if the cost covers the tip. If you are thinking of going back for another session, giving the right amount of tip will make the therapist feel appreciated and you will enjoy a good session again the next time you visit.
