InterContinental Spotlights Bonita Spa
AUGUST 4, 2006. With the excitement of the March grand opening finally starting to settle, InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa is now shifting gears to highlight its Bonita del Mar Spa.
To introduce guests to the spa, the resort is offering the Indulge in Panama Experience that will allow guests to see the softer side of Panama, and take time to relax and rejuvenate.
The Indulge in Panama Experience includes accommodations for three nights, breakfast each morning and three spa treatments at Bonita del Mar Spa.
The offer is available now through November 30 for $299 per person, not including tax and gratuity.
The three Indulge in Panama Experience spa treatments include a 55-minute relaxing massage, 45-minute coffee and sugar or chocolate exfoliation and spa reflexology in the hands, feet and face.
"We've developed a holistic, relaxing environment at Bonita del Mar that provides guests with a luxurious retreat where they can take time to pamper themselves and recover from the stress of traveling," said Valerie Padr'on de Merrick, spa manager. "The Indulge in Panama Experience is the perfect combination of treatments."
Padr'on brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Bonita del Mar. Having served as spa director for a number of high-end resorts in Mexico and Panama, Padr'on used her expertise to develop a spa menu for Bonita del Mar that caters to the demands of the most discriminating spa-goer.
Bonita del Mar Spa pays homage to its natural surroundings while offering signature services and products that incorporate organic and high-end products in creative formats.
The spa offers a wide variety of facials, body treatments, massages therapies and four signature treatments. Additionally, spa and hotel guests are welcome to join the spa's guided meditations (pre-recorded), which are offered twice per day.
Bonita del Mar Spa has a West-Indies inspired design and features a sauna, Vichy shower, steam room and whirlpool.
Located just 25 minutes outside Panama City, the InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa is nestled between one mile of golden beach and 20 acres of tropical rainforest on the Pacific Ocean.
InterContinental has also been nominated this year for a World Travel Award as World's Leading Hotel Brand.
