a good whole body massage once a month could go a long way with its benefits. I'm not really into goin to a spa.I'm more of home service so I invest in massage oils,scented candles,aromatherapy kits, etc.

I've seen San Benito, it's a nice place to relax. They have interesting accomodation choices.

I'm so busy at work and have no time for a spa treatment but I would love to try visiting one and get a relaxing massage. I think it's important that we pamper ourselves once in a while.;)

There are several spas that offer gift certificates.
However, it's best to get the Sodexho GC coz it's accepted not only by several known spas and massage parlors but also by other establishments. :-)

Here's a list of the establishments that accepts Sodexho GC.

Holidays are the days of life in which you are felt too relaxed and refreshed. Through, these massages one can get rejuvenate and revitalize and take away all the mental and physical fatigues and stresses of the life for sure.
