Hotel Review: Sublime Samana Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic @SublimeSamana

Located in the Northeastern part of the Dominican Republic the town of Samana remains an unspoiled gem that is not yet dominated by all- inclusive chains and it’s tourism focuses on luxury and eco-tourism. January through March, Samana is primarily known for it’s whale watching with thousands of Humpback whales migrating annually from the cold Atlantic Ocean to the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Sublime Samana is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and with only 26 Suites and Casitas the goal is to provide guests with a luxury experience in a warm and friendly setting where the staff knows the guests by first name. The 18 suites are spacious with terraces and full kitchens with top of the line appliances and are large enough to entertain families. The eight 2 and 3 bedroom casitas are huge and perfect for girlfriend getaways, families, and multi-generational travel. One even has a rooftop jacuzzi on the massive outdoor deck.

Sheva Royal Thai Spa NYC: Authentic Thai Experience in the Heart of NYC @ShevaSpaNY

The Sheva Royal Thai Spa concept originated at The Hilton Hotel In Tel Aviv by owner Naomi Hurvitz who had a vision of bringing authentic Thai spa culture to Israel. Born in Thailand herself Naomi envisioned the Thai Spa methods of healing the mind and body through holistic treatments. The spa in NYC is an express model where a busy New Yorker can pop in on his/her lunch hour and get a 5 star express treatment that will leave them feeling refreshed and revitalized.

The decor and color scheme is authentic Thai and the staff is trained by Naomi’s team to provide customers a first class experience in a short period of time. On the menu is a full list of customized foot treatments using top shelf products as well as a sleep mask and an iPod shuffle for total relaxation.

Every chair has a heated shiatsu massage pillow designed by Zarin Home and the future plan is to offer consumers the ability to purchase these pillows for home use. A variety of manicure options are available and there is currently a room in the spa devoted to full body massages that must be booked in advance.

The spa offers monthly memberships for unlimited foot treatments and nail services. For more info call (646) 838-1121 or visit http://www.shevaspany.com 500 Lexington Ave between 47th & 48th st.
