Aurora, The Spa at Las Alcobas

Aurora is a tiny spa with two treatment rooms and is located inside the Las Alcobas hotel. As a hotel guest, booking a treatment is a breeze and getting a same day appointment is just as easy.
Overall, I’d rate my massage fine. There were, however, two rather odd features.
1. Stomach massage
Toward the end of the massage my masseur started to rub my stomach. I found nothing untoward about this but it’s certainly not something I’ll request in future. Stomach rubbing is just… weird. I spoke to two other (male) hotel guests who had also gotten massages, neither had their tummies touched. Things that make you go hmmmm…
2. Eyelid massage
I requested scalp attention and was pleased to receive it. My masseur also massaged my face, which I really enjoyed as well. Then, with well-​oiled hands, he went for my eyelids and started rubbing them. I found this strange and somewhat shocking. Oil definitely doesn’t belong in/​on top of the eyes. I couldn’t wait to get back to my room to scrub my eyes with a clean washcloth in the shower to get it off.
The lowest rate available during my stay at Las Alcobas included a spa treatment so I didn’t have to pay for this massage. If that were not the case, I probably wouldn’t elect to come to Aurora independently for spa services.
