Portola Hotel and Spa

I love exploring the coast in California, as a child my parents always took me on road trips for the weekend and we would go up and down the state. One of our favorite places to visit was Monterey.

You need to get your skin looking great ahead of time. So I may not be nominated for an Oscar this year but I will look like I have after my treatments. I have to tell you that when you first step into Ole Henriksen Spa, the scent of the spa is amazing. You really feel relaxed as soon as you enter. I forgot that I was in the middle of Sunset Plaza with all the hustle and bustle outside! I would really say that your experience at the spa starts at the door. My first treatment was the Moroccan Bath. I never knew they had…
