great clothing shopping? spa treatments?

shanna · 10-26-2002

Wow! Haven't been to Playa in over 10 years;things have definitely changed... James, the clothing stores linked to PDC look GREAT! Anyone, any other suggestions for fun, unique clothing stores so I can impress all my pals in L.A. with my shopping savvy? I'm bringing a bathing suit, my favorite shampoo and an empty suitcase! (Yep, that's me. Supporting the local economy with my habits wherever I go.) Also, we're staying at Mosquito Blue and would love to have massages and/or spa treatments, virtually every day. Any suggestions??

Hotel Copacabana used to have a massage therapist on site. The massage table was on the roof of the hotel, with a fabulous breeze and ocean view. A year or so ago, there was a sweet Canadian lady that was the massage therapist. I think they still offer the service there. It's fabulous!

We'll add some more shops in the next few weeks, so you'll have more to choose from!

A friend of mine, Helen from England, is doing massage at Mosquito Blue. Just ask for her!

Thank you so much, Anna. I'll definitely give her a try. But, here's my question (which I already posed to James; however, he is apparently blissfully ignorant on this topic). Is there not a "spa" of sorts, either freestanding or located in a hotel that does massage and things of that sort?

I just figured the longer I stretched out my , uh, answer, the more witty PMs I would receive from you. :wink:

Shanna, I hope you get rubbed down well.

There are a few places in town where you can get facials, pedicures etc. Just ask at your hotel; maybe they work with someone. I don't really have anyone in particular to recommend.
