Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe 39 | Otoño 2020

C
osta Mujeres, an exquisite stretch of coastline
north of Cancun, is home to some expansive
and impressive resorts offering ample space
and unspoilt, white sand beaches. The Grand
Palladium Costa Mujeres, and its sister resort TRS
Coral Hotel, open to adults only, offer treatments
and experiences at Zentropia Wellness & Spa which
spans over 4700 square meters.
An impressive hydrotherapy area boasts a sauna
heated to European standards close to 85 degrees
Celsius, a steam room, salt cabin, hot Jacuzzi and
cold plunge pool. One highlight was certainly the
ice room or ‘snow cabin’ where the temperature is a
brisk -5 to -15 degrees Celsius. The walls and floor
are covered with realist snow. Stand inside for a
minute or two breathing deeply or increase the cold
therapy benefits by rubbing the snow over the body
- for as long as your fingers can stand the cold!
The hydrotherapy pools span 2 floors and offer an
array or jets and water experiences, shaped bubble
beds provide a place to relax while round and flat
water jets nozzles provide a flow so forceful you may
need a friend or partner to help keep you from being
pushed over. With myriad wall and floor jets, it's easy
to treat every part of the body with hydrotherapy, my
favorite was the underfloor therapeutic jets for the
feet - amazing!
The Nahuatl Mexican Ritual begins with a short
ceremony including a spiritual cleansing using
copal incense and fresh herbs, such as rosemary,
basil and rue. The treatment is an energetic, flowing
massage that also incorporates the use of crystals
placed strategically on the body. At the end of the
experience the collection of crystals is offered as a
keepsake for each guest to take home. A full range
of facials is offered and the therapists incorporate
excellent facial massage techniques to lift and tone
the skin improving its radiance.
