tranquil spa full body massages small room increased humidity

The Essensi Spa provided a tranquil escape. Akanksha and Akhil are skilled therapists who gave me and my husband full body massages.

Our room was rather small and seemed overpriced. The shower cubicle was integrated into the room, creating a lack of privacy and increased humidity afterwards
