I have been toying with this idea for a while now. Then an American lady asked me where to go on Father's Day to get a surprise massage for her husband... Spa here, spa there... Wait! We can arrange a massage by the pool, done by a local professional massage therapist.
I am thinking early morning, or sunset time, to avoid the heat.
Do you offer anything like this in your HHs?
She will come Sunday morning... I will keep you posted!

Not poolside, Tizfata (no pool!), but I do offer massage and other bodywork sessions outside - have a picture of it on my site. I don't get many takers for bodywork (either inside or outside) amongst guests but those who have had sessions outside, with the birds singing and the crickets (!) chirruping have been blown away by it!

So yes, great idea. I'm sure he'll love it Laughing

Great idea Tizfata, I've often thought of it too (though no pool) Crying or Very sad

My problem would be to call the therapist at short notice; they are all so booked up. Luckily I haven't had any requests......

Yes I have contact numbers for that service along with manicures, pedicures by a friend of mine. Also I provide details on; private chef, hairdresser, babysitter, nanny, cleaner, chauffer, private boat hire, cycle hire...etc etc.

I would say the amount of people that take any of them up is small - but they're there if they're needed.

There are also concierge companies that will attend to your every whim...as long as you've plenty of money Very Happy

We also have contacts for Massage, Hairdressing and Manicure with the therapists generally able to come at a few hours notice.

Not services used by too many of our guests but greatly enjoyed by those that request it.

We don't do poolside massages but I have been known to offer the odd text massage from time to time....... Embarassed
