点评:My boyfriend and I travel extensively all over the world. And I have been lucky enough to try out some of the worlds best spas and treatments. This place is top tier, has to be best in the country if not, in the world. This was our third year in a row at Sea Island and I am greatly looking forward to our stay again, next year. My boyfriend treated me to a day at the spa this year and besides booking the services, I took full advantage of the spa facilities and I’m so glad I did. The spa is a true 5 star spa experience: everything from making your appointment, to the grandeur of the architecture, to the thoughtful amenities, to the consideration of comfort, relaxation and luxury offered in the details of every point of service. There’s a beautiful “Rotunda” fountain (of youth??) in the entrance of the spa, after you pass the coy pond on both sides of the entrance path bridge. The water from that fountain runs like a stream through an intricately designed rock filter in the floor of the entire spa. This is very easy to overlook yet, extremely delightful architectural detail captures the true essence of a spa. If you’re as lucky as I was to have the time and take the time to swim in the indoor spa pool, you might take notice that the water from said fountain naturally drains into that indoor pool and then the pool water drains into a lower level waterfall that you can access via the pool area. The waterfall has several little seats so you can sit directly under it to enjoy some extra water therapy massage from the “fountain of youth falls”. While you sit your view doesn’t get much better than overlooking the peaceful, breathtaking, outdoor tropical garden and labrynth. I walked the labrynth twice after my swim and as they say: “one never leaves a labrynth as the same person that enters”. All is surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping. Everything in the locker room was as expected it would be for a spa of this caliber. There was an extra service desk inside our locker room with helpful attendants who tend to all of your whims, schedule or reschedule you, and eagerly wait on you can even order you a healthy delicious gourmet chef prepared meal. For me, starting my services off in the mineral soaking tub is the best way to go because it warms you up and all the minerals are absorbed by the skin but whichever body service you enjoy, seals the minerals into your skin for longer lasting results. Tim was my masseur and every touch, every stroke of his hands and arms was pure and intentional and extremely relaxing and invigorating in a way that you just don’t experience from a typical massage therapist. This guys touch is intoxicating and though I opted for 90 minutes I would have asked for more if I could. The facial was also 90 minutes with Darianne. My skin was still glowing for days after my treatment. The gift shop was also a treat as I found this gorgeous silk dress which doubled for me as my dress for our dinner event with the Gov. The spa retail shop attendants were super knowledgable about the products and the products themselves were of great quality, results oriented and natural ingredients. I found out later that the buyer for the spa has a background in the medical industry so she’s super keen on choosing the newest (its always exciting to discover new skincare that you love and to bring home an extension of my unforgettable spa day with ALL my new products), most effective, natural products with science based results and the retail attendant was super friendly and helpful. I’m greatly looking forward to visiting Sea Island next year and I’ll be sure book my treatments for earlier in the day and try and stay longer if I can.
翻译:我和男朋友经常周游世界。我很幸运能够体验到世界上一些最棒的水疗中心及护理服务。这家水疗中心绝对是一流的——即便称不上世界最佳,也肯定是本国最顶尖的。这已经是我们连续第三年光顾Sea Island了,我十分期待明年能再次造访。今年,男朋友特意带我来享受了一整天的水疗服务。除了预约各项护理项目外,我还充分利用了水疗中心的所有设施,真的非常开心能有这样的体验。这家水疗中心堪称真正的五星级体验:从预约流程、宏伟的建筑设计,到贴心的配套设施,再到每一项服务细节中所体现的对舒适感、放松体验与奢华感的悉心考量,无一不令人赞叹。进入水疗中心后,你会看到一个漂亮的圆形喷泉——或许这就是传说中的“不老泉”吧?在通往入口的小桥两侧还有两个宁静的池塘。从喷泉中流出的水如同溪流一般,穿过整个水疗中心地板上精心设计的岩石滤水系统。这一建筑细节极易被忽视,但却极为迷人,充分体现了水疗中心的真正精髓。如果你和我一样幸运,有时间也能静下心来在室内的水疗池中畅游一番,定会收获无穷乐趣。你可能会注意到,喷泉流出的水会自然汇入室内的泳池中,随后泳池里的水又会流到更低处的瀑布处——从泳池区便可直达那里。瀑布旁设有几个小座位,你可以直接坐在下面,享受来自“青春之泉瀑布”带来的水疗按摩效果。而当你坐下来时,眼前便是宁静又令人心醉的户外热带花园与迷宫景观,景色美不胜收。游泳结束后,我在迷宫般的园区里走了两圈。正如人们所说:“从迷宫中走出来的人,已经不再是进去时的那个自己了。”整个园区被繁茂的热带植物所环绕。更衣室里的一切都符合人们对这种水准水疗中心的预期。我们的更衣室内还设有一个额外的服务台,那里有热情周到的服务人员,他们能满足你的各种需求——帮你安排或重新安排行程,甚至还能为你点购由专业大厨烹制的健康又美味的餐点。对我而言……从矿物浸泡浴开始我的护理流程是最理想的选择——它能让身体暖和起来,各种矿物质也能被皮肤充分吸收。不过,无论你选择哪种护理项目,都能帮助矿物质更长久地留在皮肤上,从而取得更持久的效果。蒂姆是我的按摩师,他每一次触碰、每一下手法都精准而用心,带来无与伦比的放松与愉悦感——这种体验是一般的按摩师难以提供的。这位技师的手法真是令人陶醉不已。虽然我选择的是90分钟的服务,但如果可以的话我肯定还会再续。之后我又接受了Darianne提供的90分钟面部护理。护理结束后,我的皮肤连续几天都保持着光泽状态。礼品店也让我大饱眼福,我在那里挑到了一条漂亮的丝绸连衣裙,它后来还成了我与州长共进晚宴时的礼服呢。水疗中心的导购们对产品了如指掌,而且这些产品的质量也相当出色。注重效果且采用天然成分。后来我了解到,这家水疗中心的采购人员有医学行业背景,因此她特别热衷于挑选最新研发、效果显著且以科学为依据的天然产品。(能发现心仪的新护肤品并把它们带回家,就仿佛把难忘的水疗体验延续到了日常生活中,这种感觉真是妙不可言!)另外,店员也极其友善且乐于助人。我非常期待明年去海岛度假。我一定会尽早预约护理服务,如果可以的话,还打算多待一段时间。
