Pamper Yourselves at One of Trinidad's Many Spas

Spa treatments range from massages (deep tissue, Swedish, aromatherapy, hot stones and more) to steams, body scrubs, peels and wraps, and saunas (which are growing in popularity). You can elect to have individual treatments, and many spas also offer package deals.
 

If you have the time, you can make a day of your spa outing by adding beauty treatments such as manicures, pedicures, facials, eyebrow tinting, and waxing (including Brazilian waxing for women).

 

The décor of local spas is often Asian inspired, designed to induce feelings of calm and relaxation. Fountains, plush furniture and cosy colour schemes combine to make each spa a retreat from the bustle of every day life.
 

Naturally, the décor and degree of luxury differ according to the target clientele, but service across the board is warm and welcoming. In some spas, wine, tea or coffee is served at no extra cost, as well as light refreshments like cheese and crackers.
 

Spa staff members are friendly and open to lively conversation, but respectful of one’s need for silence. When making appointments, clients can request the services of particular staff with whom they may have developed a relationship, or who have a reputation for doing the best work.

Tips & Tricks

• Do make an appointment beforehand. Check availability if you need same-day service
• Do ask about cancellation policies. Some spas charge you for no-shows
• Do arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment
• Do wear comfortable clothing that can be easily removed for body treatments. Some places may allow you to wear a swimsuit for your comfort, and most provide robes
• Do alert your therapist/beautician about any allergies or healthcare concerns you may have
• Do observe cell phone etiquette so as not to disturb other clients
• Tipping (at the client’s discretion) is encouraged and some spas allow you to tip the staff directly; others ask that you leave your tip at the front desk with the name of your attendant.
