I was looking forward to the spa and the promise of a few massages, so we tried out the Coconut Spa Signature Massage – four massage types in an hour and a half for US$110. Their prices overall were reasonable – a bit more than in Australia but I’d expected that, and besides, it’s a holiday! The 4-pack consisted of a standard (?) massage, followed by some shiatsu, followed by some hot rocks, followed by a little foot reflexology. The girls were Indonesian, presumably for cultural reasons. Although nice enough, it was a very ‘textbook’ massage with no heart in, no specific attention to problem areas. Four strokes left, four strokes right, two strokes left, two strokes right and so on. Overall nice enough, but a bit too generic for me to want to pay the extra bucks or go back for more.
The Coconut Spa took a bit of a battering with the wild winds too – the thatching was very much in disarray (after this pic was taken). All of their rooms have an open window with just a canvas shade, and some open straight onto small decks with a sunken bath so you can see and hear the sea.
