Elemis Spa Treatment or Open Air Massage?

[IFlossU]

For those of you that have had both the Elemis Face & Body Treatment, and the open air massage on CC, which did you prefer? Right now I can't see splurging for both, and would appreciate opinions in helping make my choice. Decisions Decisions!!

If you mean the Absolute Face and Body (massage and facial combo), that is the one I would DEFINITELY recomend! The cabana massages are nice, but you have to get to the adult beach (takes a while), and when you are done you are all relaxed and oily and probably won't feel like doing much other than taking a nap! When we do a massage on the island, we typically do it around 10 a.m. and don't go in the water beforehand. Then we have a little swim afterwards before lunch (unless we end up taking a nap first). I once had a bad experience with a noisy, drunk group of people making a lot of noise in front of the cabanas that was really distracting and annoying, but that was a long time ago...by booking an early appointment, most people haven't made it to the adult beach anyway.
In contracst, I do the Absolute Face & Body on the ship, where it's peaceful because you are in a spa treatment room. I almost always drift off to sleep during the facial. It is such a luxurious treatment...the only part I dislike is having to roll over onto my back (for the facial) after the massage, as I am usually semi-comatose at that point!

Hi IFlossU.

which did you prefer? Right now I can't see splurging for both

The only thing better than reserving the Elemis Absolute Face And Body Treatment is to reserve 2 treatments. Ask for Erin from Canada. She is superb...

DEFINITELY the Elemis Absolute Face & Body Treatment!!!

It is an AWESOME experience and much, much more relaxing than the cabana massage on CC. When on CC I wanted to spend time in the water and with friends and family, and taking time out to do the massage was not really relaxing. Plus the massage is just an upper back massage, and with the AFB you get a FULL massage plus a FULL facial. No comparison.

Sounds like the Absolute Face & Body Treatment is what I'll be doing. Your responses make me wish I was already there. Thank you so much for helping me make such a tough decision!!
