After 5 months in Europe, I was craving someone else's hands on my body. You see, while living in Bali and while traveling in Southeast Asia, I became accustomed to regular massages. Once in Europe, though, massages became a little out of our weekly price range. I was counting down the days until our arrival in Bangkok, and new exactly where to find our perfect Thai massage. But, even before that date came, we had a welcome surprise – the chance to experience a luxury spa in India. Twice. Becoming Accustomed to Massages In Bali, we had our regular spa in Ubud, Cantika Zest. It was a little out of town, requiring a motorbike to reach. Because it was hard to reach, though, these massage beds were generally filled by people in the know. Cantika offered the best, and most reliable massages in Ubud. We were there so often that we had our preferred massage girls, Juni and Sang Ayu. The best part about Cantika: the price. Massages ran about $15 an hour. It was a little more expensive than many of the tourist focused massage shops in town, but we paid for the quality, and the reliability.
I only gave 2, because the room was clean, and beds comfortable, that's it. Lobby may be renovated, but rooms (at least ours) are not, one can hear all cars noise and hallway talking, AC. We arrived after 10pm, exhausted... early AM, looking for water: NO water bottle in room, nobody picked up the phone from front desk. (yes, one could drink tap water, I don't from unkown source, old hotels pipes... ). So, next morning (and still no answer) I step to front desk, asking for water. - Hmm, the vending machine is here... (sorry, I didn't spot the machine when arrived exhausted). Ok, what about in room water? - Not in room, COVID. First time, so many years with Marriott, experienced such an Attitude... It's not about entitlement, (I don't waist my time for $7), its the Unacceptable behavior... and again, I would give it to the hotel management, if, if the front desk rep didn't have this attitude!!! I was so upset, didn't even take her name... … Date of stay: March 2021 Room Tip: ask for room in the back, better views and no traffic noise See more room tips
