Making Dreams Come True, Aqua Cancún Provides Guests with the Gift of Sleep

CANCÚN, MEXICO (May 20, 2008) – Aqua Cancún is providing guests with the ultimate relaxation retreat, offering sleep as an amenity. Aqua’s Sleep Rejuvenation experience encompasses all aspects of the indigenous Mayan culture, bringing any restless visitor to a holistic state of bliss. Providing an array of unique sleep remedies, Aqua offers everything from soothing, multi-sensory treatments at Spa Aqua — to calming music throughout the hotel — to choosing the pillow of one’s choice upon check-in from the deluxe selection at Aqua’s Pillow Library and more. 

 

“Your wish is my wish” (su deseo es nuestro deseo) is the hotel’s motto, a deep commitment held by Aqua Cancún to ensure guests have a serene and memorable stay. Mood setting aromatherapy is an integral part of the Aqua experience as well. It begins by immersing guests into a state of relaxation upon entering the hotel, as essences of mint, spearmint, eucalyptus and lavender waft throughout the space. Guests also enjoy an aromatherapy bed turn-down service, selecting treatments from the exclusive guestroom scent menu, featuring aroma therapies that are designed to set the stage for tranquility and leisure.

 

Fusing ancient Mayan massage and relaxation techniques with global influences, Spa Aqua offers an array of unique new treatments which evoke a state of calming slumber. One of the signature Spa Aqua treatments know for inducing sleep is Le Siesté (The Nap.)  During this treatment, the body is submerged in water that remains a constant 97° F.  At this temperature, the body reaches its maximum potential to allow the vitamin, seaweed and mineral salt infused water to treat every pore. Le Siesté attends to all senses of the body using colors, sound, aromas and massage therapy resulting in a full sensory stimuli treatment.

 

Of course Aqua Cancún’s Sleep Rejuvenating activities can be found in the sun as well. During the day guests may sleep or just relax while emerging into total leisure in Aqua’s selection of tranquil cabanas including beach cabanas, pool cabanas and swing cabanas. Each cabana includes a “pampering” basket with massage stones from Spa Aqua including Mexican massage sticks, hot stones, Mayan detox blue stones and a Mayan marble stone – so in essence, guests detox and rejuvenate. Other items in the cabana basket include a personalized and pre-loaded iPod with a sleep-inspired mix by in-house DJ Gotardo; Natura Bisse sunscreen with application service by a cabana butler; Fiji water bottles; fresh fruit platter; smoothies and brownies.

 

For yoga lovers, Aqua holds a daily Sun Salutation Ritual. This ritual is based on sun & moon hatha yoga exercises, profound relaxation and a ritual meditation of wishes. With this ritual Aqua guests can train themselves physically, mentally and emotionally, resulting in an aqua-rebirth experience. Aqua’s quest to provide sleep rejuvenation and a sense of rebirth does not end with its guests, the hotel also puts the sun to bed and welcomes the moon with a Sun & Moon Welcoming Ceremony, a Mayan ritual held in Aqua’s lobby.

For those who like to end the night with a delicious night cap, Aqua’s ultra-posh AKA Wine & Mezcal Bar by renowned mixologist Steve Olson, is the perfect spot. Guests lounge in a casual setting which offers more than 200 bottles of wine as well as a signature cocktail menu, sure to have something for everyone’s liking. A favorite nonalcoholic night cap offered at Aqua is the Herbal Infusion Calming tea. Visitors drink up this splendor as they walk into a world of sensory bliss. The atmosphere, engulfed in a cool mist, which chills the warm Caribbean air, relaxes guests as soothing beats by DJ Gotardo sing them to sleep.

 

Speaking of music and sleep, recent studies have shown that breathing slowly while listening to music for half an hour daily may improve mild hypertension— according to the American Society of Hypertension at the annual scientific meeting this month in New Orleans. DJ Gotardo’s music therapy is sculpted to ease guest’s mood as well as their blood pressure while they listen to music.
