Choose hotel spa-style massage if you are not in pain and just want to unwind. Aroma Body Massage offers the same experience delivered to your room at a fraction of the hotel spa price.
Choose therapeutic massage if you have specific pain, stiffness, or tension you want addressed. Thai Massage and Shiatsu are our best therapeutic options.
