Recommended Spa / Massage Options Summary for Your Stay:
- If you want a resort-spa experience, go with Kohala Spa — it’s right in your resort and offers top-tier island-style treatments.
- If you want to stay in and relax in your room (especially after a long day or snorkeling), the mobile massage is perfect.
Tips to Maximize Your Massage Experience:
- Book early in your trip — spa slots fill up fast, especially in the resort’s spa.
- Mention any special preferences (strength, areas to focus on, Lomi Lomi vs deep tissue) when booking so the therapist can tailor it.
- Leave some buffer time before or after your massage to enjoy the spa lounge or just rest — don’t rush back into activity right away.
- If using room service massage, pick a time when you aren’t planning to go out immediately afterward, so you can fully relax afterward.
