Zen Spa at the Beach Rotana
Usually we cover the capital’s spas by reviewing what they do and how they do it. That gives a good overview of the experience, but with this issue we’re adding another angle – what would the spa manager recommend if you went along and asked for their advice? We’ve selected four common customer requirements, and we open the symptom-and-solution survey with Zen Spa at the Beach Rotana
Zen Spa aims to reflect the five-star status of the hotel. Extensive thought and attention to detail has created an environment with a unique ambience – “it is not just our facilities that differentiate us from other five-star spas in the region, but also our unique Zen service delivery and guest experience provided by our Spa team”.
The Zen concept derives from holistic Asian philosophies with an added contemporary twist. It aims to enhance the balance and harmony of each and every guest through each and every treatment or Spa Ritual available on the Spa Menu.
“Zen Spa provides a retreat for Mind, Body and Spirit” says the Spa
