点评:After a couple of days relaxing at the villa, and getting quite good massages from the in-house therapists, I wanted to get out and see how it compared to the local massage therapy businesses In Cheong Mon. There's so many here that it was hard to decide, so I asked a friend who lives in Samui and they said "Just go to Body & Soul".
After slipping off your shoes, you're welcomed by smiling, uniformed therapists, and shown through the service menu. After asking what I had been doing lately, what problem areas I had, and what my preferences were I decided to follow their suggestion of a 90 minute Signature Massage.
After quickly bathing and placing slippers on my feet, I was led to an immaculately clean room, with fresh towels and flowers, cool air conditioning, and prepared for the treatment.
The Signature Massage was a combination oil massage, with a range of techniques used on the whole body, firm when it needed to be (the therapist always checked to make sure I was comfortable) while being relaxing. Sometimes when I get a massage that's longer than an hour I start hoping it will be over soon, but I was so in the zone that the time drifted past wonderfully.
Once over, I was given time to get myself ready and then when I stepped back into the main part of the salon, there was tea and some small delights to eat to prepare myself before walking out.
End to end it was a true 5 star salon experience, and I think probably better than the in house treatments at my accomodation — because the treatment felt better, less rushed, and personalised to what I needed.
I'll be back again a few times before I leave.
翻译:在别墅里放松了几天,体验了别墅内理疗师的出色按摩后,我想出去看看这里和昌蒙镇(Cheong Mon)当地的按摩店相比如何。这里按摩店太多了,我很难抉择,于是问了一位住在苏梅岛的朋友,他们说“去Body & Soul就对了”。
脱掉鞋子后,面带微笑的身着制服的理疗师会热情地迎接你,并向你介绍服务项目。我询问了最近做了什么,有哪些问题部位,以及我的个人喜好,之后我决定听从他们的建议,体验一次90分钟的招牌按摩。
快速洗完澡,穿上拖鞋后,我被带到一间一尘不染的房间,房间里摆放着干净的毛巾和鲜花,还有凉爽的空调,我做好了接受护理的准备。
招牌按摩是组合式精油按摩,结合了多种技巧,适用于全身,需要时力度适中(理疗师会一直检查以确保我感到舒适),同时保持放松。有时,当我按摩超过一小时时,我会开始希望它快点结束,但我太投入了,时间过得真快。
按摩结束后,我有足够的时间准备,然后回到沙龙的主区,那里有茶和一些小点心,让我在离开前可以好好休息一下。
从始至终,这都是一次真正的五星级沙龙体验,我觉得可能比我在酒店接受的护理还要好——因为护理感觉更好,没有那么匆忙,而且根据我的需要进行了个性化定制。
离开之前,我还会再来几次。
