Mokara Spa

I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Mokara Spa last weekend and experience all they have to offer. The Mokara spa has 10 treatment rooms and a salon with 2 hair stations, and 2 manicure & pedicure stations. I was scheduled for their 50 minute Mokara Signature Massage. Upon checking in for my appointment I was brought over to a beautiful display to start my «scent journey.» They have 6 scents to chose from — Madarin, Fresh, Sun, Ore, Oolong, and Earth. Once you pick your scent it will be used throughout all of your spa services. I decided to go with Sun, which had a light vanilla scent to it. Once I picked my scent I was sent into the locker room with Carmen, who showed me the ropes and made sure I was taken care of.
Carmen showed me to my locked and inside was the most luxurious robe I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. One of my favorite things about visiting spas are the robes. There is just something about being in a big fluffy robe that instantly puts you at ease, and this robe was no different. As soon as I was in my robe all I wanted to do was curl up and take a nap! But there was too much to enjoy before my massage to nap. Carmen showed me the whirlpool, steam room, and the tea lounge — all of which I took advantage of before my massage. I found out that the robes with the Mokara logo are available for purchase in the spa for $ 95. I’m really thinking this needs to be on my Christmas list.
Since I was early for my massage but there after the appointments before mine had started I pretty much had the the place to myself. I was at the spa after a race and immediate knew that I needed to spend some time in the whirlpool. After I almost fell asleep in there I decided to make a quick trip to the steam room before taking a shower. The Mokara spa has everything you could want or need while you are there. I grabbed a big fluffy towel and treated myself to an unusually long shower before getting back into my robe. A quick stop in the powder room just reinforced how on top of things there were. The counter was full of everything you might need — lotion, hair gel, hair spray, q-​tips, mouthwash, razors, and even a hair drier.
With about 15 minutes left until my massage I decided to head to the tea lounge, their waiting area, and enjoy a cup of tea. I made myself a cup of Tea Forte Skin Smart Coconut tea and sat down in one of the many over-​sized chairs. You can pick up an assorted box of 10 for $ 16.50 in the spa (another good Christmas gift idea). It wasn’t long before I was snuggled in and ready for that nap. Thankfully my masseuse Debbie showed up just in time and caught me before I was out cold.
I need to stop here and point our the amazing attention to personal detail at the Mokara Spa. When I made my appointment I mentioned that I would be coming straight from a race. As I was checking in that morning the Spa manager asked me about my race and how it went. When Debbie came to get me for my massage she also knew about my run that morning and asked me about it. On the way to the treatment room we talked about the aches and pains I was currently experiencing and that she’d make sure to address those during the massage.
I have to say that this was by far the best massage I’ve ever had. From the heated massage tables, to Debbie’s attention to my sore areas, to the steam towels that were wrapped around my feet after the thorough foot massage — it was all amazing.
