Book Description

Mobil Travel Guide: America's Best Hotels, Restaurants & Spas February 1, 2004
For the first time ever, Mobil Travel Guide has taken its 45-year-old star rating system into the hotel and resort spa arena. The goal of the America's Best Hotel & Resort Spas is not to identify and rate every spa in the country, but to recommend only the best in each category. We look at the stars from a consumer's point of view, rating spas across North America from the perspective of the "average traveler."

This book features listings of the top rated spas in both hotels and resorts located throughout North America and includes stunning photography collected from each of the properties. Each spa will have an introduction page that provides an overview of the type of spa--complete with a colorful description of location and the spa's focus (such as wellness center, ayurveda, etc.). Spa description will then be followed by the very simple, yet stunning photographs that will dominate the pages, as opposed to text. Where relevant, a section describing the spa cuisine will be included, featuring colorful photographs of items and a signature recipe of the spa. The hotel or resort that each spa is located within will receive a one page photograph and short description describing location, size, and accessibility.

If Cupid designed resorts, Little Palm Island would be his masterpiece. This seductive hideaway's white-sand beaches, cerulean waters, and exotic flavor are a siren's song to romantics everywhere. Accessible exclusively by seaplane or boat, this private island resort offers the antidote to the modern world with its gentle pace and quiet luxury. Close your eyes and you might just think you arrived in Bali, yet this tropical paradise is conveniently located off the Florida Keys.Intimate and stylish, the 28 thatched-roof bungalows speak to those seeking a retreat from the everyday. The interiors match the relaxed mood of the resort with the sophisticated and well-traveled look of British Colonial décor. Rattan and wicker furnishings, tropical prints, and beds swathed in gauzy mosquito netting set a romantic tone, while the elimination of televisions and telephones ensures peace and quiet. The signature coco-mango bath products fill the bathroom with a heady scent; a harbinger of what is to come at the sensational SpaTerre.Reconnecting with your body, soul, and your soul mate is the philosophy behind Little Palm Island's SpaTerre. Blissfully indulgent, this is the kind of place you visit to succumb to the pleasures of life. Guests are pampered and beautified from head to toe. From the deep-soaking tubs brimming with rose petals to the massages in the open-air, oceanfront thatched-roof palapa, God is in the details here. The ancient traditions and rituals that have relaxed Balinese royals for centuries have inspired many of the treatments available here. From Thai Kelapa Rituals to Javanese Lulur Royal Treatments, the essence of the Far East has been transported to the Florida Keys. Whether you lean toward the traditional or enjoy exploring the exotic, the menu filled with massages, body treatments, and yoga is sure to please. Spend an hour or more unwinding with a Swedish, Sports, and Aromatherapy massage, or let the heated volcanic river rocks do the work in the Hot Stone massage. Tired feet and lower legs are rewarded with Reflexology, while the ancient traditions of Indian and Chinese influences create an unforgettable Balinese massage. Intoxicating essential oils accompany many massages, further enhancing the tropical ambience. Skin is particularly pampered here, from detoxifying Caribbean Seaweed body masks and soothing Milk and Honey treatments to rehydrating Cucumber and Aloe body wraps and refreshing and cleansing facials. Indulge yourself and escape to the tropical and exotic paradise of Little Palm Island.
