We are back again with another spa review during a period of hot weather
that many people might be finding rather difficult to cope with. The extreme
temperatures can easily dehydrate our bodies and cause us to be in foul
moods, so people look for many different ways to try and cool down, whether
that being going for a swim, just staying in an air-conditioned room at home
or even taking a trip abroad to a cooler climate.
Treatment room.
This issue, Pattaya Mail will introduce you to another way to cool down with
the therapies offered at the Breeze Spa. There are 7 branches of Breeze Spa
across Thailand (Bangkok, Pattaya, Koh Chang, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and
Hua Hin) and one in Doha, Qatar. In Pattaya, the Breeze Spa is located on
the fourth floor of the Ocean Tower of the Amari Orchid Resort in north
Pattaya.
The Breeze Spa in Pattaya is decorated simply and tastefully and provides
moderate guest room space overlooking the resort’s swimming pool. Its
atmosphere and color tone resemble old-fashioned spas but more important
than the decoration is the menu of quality treatments on offer that caters
to the needs of visitors.

The signature Mood Massage was the first choice recommended to me by Breeze
Spa Manager, Thantawan Wanhom. Customers can choose from Dreamy, Serene,
Rejuvenated, Invigorated or Energized massages with accompanying aroma oil,
depending on what mood they are in, or want to get into.
Breeze Spa also offers a Mango Sticky Rice Body Scrub, a special recipe
using coconut shell beads in a scrub cream that gives off a sweet scent of
mango. The cream is then mixed with coconut milk before being applied during
the massage. It is a combination of such delicious ingredients that sounds
more appetizing as a breakfast combination that something to be scrubbed
with.
A totally relaxing experience.
Breeze Spa utilizes the Comfort Zone products from Italy to treat dehydrated
and sensitive skin in facial treatments and uses its own products under the
Breeze brand for body treatments. If you are looking for body care products
to use at home, Panpuri brand is another interesting choice for you to try.
The Breeze Spa also offer spa, manicure and pedicure services for men as
well as depilatory and waxing treatments using Lycon products from
Australia. The Spa has 9 rooms; 1 exclusive room that is spacious, modern
and well equipped with a sauna room, Jacuzzi bathtub and massage beds for a
couple, 2 double rooms and another 6 single rooms.
The skills of the therapists at any spa cannot be overlooked. Khun Wan, the
top therapist and the therapist trainer at Breeze, took care to give me a
massage herself and the Mango Sticky Rice Body Scrub that she applied
certainly did not disappoint. The scrub cream and the coconut milk were
meticulously massaged on every square inch of my skin, alternating with
pressure on various spots to unlock tension deep within muscle tissues. I
enjoyed the lovely scent of mango and coconut and felt my skin softening and
rehydrating.

I then took a shower before having the signature Mood Massage. I chose to
have the Relaxing mood and it was an aroma massage that was continuously
flowing from top to toe without interruption and took all the stress out of
my tired muscles. It certainly left me feeling relaxed, as its name implies.
Next up was the Glorious Skin Lifting Perfect treatment, starting with a
deep facial cleansing and massage to stimulate the skin, and then followed
by the application of a Comfort Zone face mask which allows nutrients to be
absorbed into the skin. The mask felt cool, giving a fresh sensation, and
was accompanied by a head and shoulder massage that was also very relaxing.
The result was impressive as I noticed my face was brightened and also felt
the skin had tightened and firmed after the treatment.
