Question: What Should I Get At The Spa?
The spa treatment you should get depends on your level of experience, comfort with nudity and even ticklishness. If you're a beginner, a Swedish massage is a good place to start. You generally take off all your clothes but are under a sheet or towel.

If you're uncomfortable with nudity, you can get a facial. Or ask the front desk what beginner-friendly treatments they have that take place in loose clothing. Possibilities include reflexology or craniosacral therapy.

If you're more advanced, you might want to try different treatments like shiatsu, Thai massage, or watsu.
