…I tried it for the first time and this is how it went.
I’ve been a loyal customer of the spa at the Hilton Aruba for more than 10 years now. Back in 2015, was when I first got introduced to Eforea Spa, and till this day I’m still scheduling my almost monthly appointments, eagerly awaiting my time to relax and recharge. Next to having amazing therapists, part of the reason I’ve been such a loyal customer is because throughout all these years there have been many upgrades, specials and wonderful seasonal treatments to enjoy. Even throughout pandemic times they went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt safe. Not to mention, they offered and kept special prices exclusively for the local market, which is always so greatly appreciated.
For those who follow me on social media, it’s no secret that I suffered a neck hernia in 2022, which at first only seemed like muscle spasms. From Dr.’s visits, injections and severe pain limiting my mobility in my left arm and head movements, this stressful series of events led me to having extreme muscle tension knots in the affected area. So, while I awaited to start with physical therapy, my Dr. gave me the green light to take a massage to help ease the tension in all the affected areas in my body. That’s when Eforea’s very own Senior Director Resort Experience, Mariëlle, suggested I try their newest treatment on the menu: Eforea’s CBA Massage Treatment.
It’s the very first local spa (and the only one that I know off to this point) to include organic CBD treatments in their menu. So, I booked my appointment, made sure to clear my entire Saturday schedule, and off I went to my 9 am. CBD massage. Best way to start my weekend!
As soon as I got to the spa, I went straight into “do not disturb” mode. I stored all my belongings in the locker, changed clothes, got comfy in my spa robe, and enjoyed the indoor and outdoor ambiance while I waited to meet Albert, my therapist for the day.
My session started with a hand washing ritual and right after Albert, introduced me to the product. I could instantly smell a nice mix of mint and eucalyptus scent that would surely get me right into my zen mode. The massage oil used at Eforea is a whole plant, full spectrum oil with natural ingredients and sun-grown hemp. It’s also combined with coconut oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil and a blend of Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Peppermint and Lavender for maximum relief.
One of my favorite things of the Eforea Spa experience is by far the heated beds, making sure you stay cozy, and warm throughout your whole treatment. Albert started the full body massage by placing the CBD oil on my most tense body areas, such as my neck, shoulder and lower back. He then proceeded to tuck me in under the warm spa sheets so that my body would start absorbing the CBD oil and initiated the massage by my feet working his way to my upper body.
I could honestly say I had no clue what CBD massage oil would smell like. It was a nice compliment having the eucalyptus and mint combined to the CBD oil. Albert proceeded to continue the massage combining other softer scented oils as the CBD oil combo was very strong on its own.
“I try to use too much, because it makes me sleepy as well”, Albert said, as we both giggled and I started dozing off into a delicious nap time. Compared to many other treatments that I’ve tried before at Eforea, my body felt much more relaxed from early on during the treatment, and it was also easier to fall asleep.
The most blissful 50 minutes went by pretty fast, I must say. That’s a strong indication for me to make sure I book the 80 minutes for next time. I especially enjoyed the emphasis on my hands, as my work requires me to be typing on my computer and smartphone for most of the day. Sometimes you don’t even realize how much tension can build up on specific areas of your body.
As soon as my treatment was finished, Albert recommended I give the steam room a try so that my body could further absorb the rest of the CBD oil. Another thing I learned from being a frequent guest at Eforea spa is that using the cold plunge pool after the sauna is great for your health. The 11.6 – 14.4 degrees Celsius indoor pool is great for boosting your immune system and blood circulation, it helps you relax, rejuvenates your skin and aids in joint and muscle pain relief.
After spending more than 5 hours at the spa, I returned home and still felt very much sleepy and relaxed. It was exactly what I needed to guarantee a good night’s rest and getting back into my usual sleeping routine after a very hectic work week.
