I have been to several spas but never a turkish bath and this was really a great visit. I will review in detail as i didn't quite know what to expect or bring so here is the rundown. The spa takes bookings thru Facebook or phone. You are the only bookings and patrons for the time selected which is really nice and private. You are given water and a cold towel on arriving and introduced to your 2 ( in our case) attendants, then taken to a lovely change area. They supply paper shorts- one size should fit all- to wear and a large wrap towel. 1st stop for us was 10 minutes in an aroma therapy steam sauna. Marble walled and beautifully lit. 2nd was the soap and exfoliation. Moroccan black soap and a turkish exfoliating glove. Women have the option of keeping your towel on but i didn't. How can you get a good wash with a towel on? The male attendants were VERY professional and i felt totally comfortable throughout my topless experience. You sit with the soap on for a while and then they rinse you. 3rd is up onto the heated marble table for the bubble wash and massage. They use these unique "bubble filled pillows" that they put on you and apply some pressure along your body. then they release the bubbles. Wow!! next they distribute and rub the soap in with a massage like technique. I actually thought this was the massage part but it wasn't. Rinsing is next and then onto the tea room for some lounging, tea and cookies. A clay face mask is next and finally the massage to end your appointment. afterwards you can shower -cause they use a lot of oil for the massage-and back to change. We weren't rushed at all thru our 2 hour appointment and it was so relaxing- the music, the lighting, the aromatherapy were perfect. the 2 attendants were so professional and attentive. This is a must do in Puerto Vallarta.

My very first Hamam experience with Mauricio. The Hamam was an extraordinary experience but Mauricio took it over the top. Strong professional and a very very pleasant personality

Turkish baths aren't only a means to get clean, but they are also a ritualistic experience made up of hot steam, detoxifying body treatments, and a nice cup of tea. Here are all the Turkish bath benefits you ought to know.

1. Removes Toxins
A Turkish bath starts with bathers sitting in a hot room, or sauna if you will. Bathers will steam until their pores are open and their muscles are relaxed. In the process, many bathers will also sweat, which  is one of the best ways to help the body in its natural process of the removal of toxins. To capitalize on this detoxifying experience.

2. Opens Pores
The high temperatures in Turkish steam rooms loosen up pores, which allows for a deeper clean than that of a shower. While not quite as effective as a facial, a steam is the second best thing, as it frees up dirt and grime while also optimizing the potential of the products you apply afterward.

3. Induces Relaxation
Now more than ever, the pressure and pace of life can lead to an increase in both stress and anxiety. a relaxing schvitz can promote better mental and physical health, as it is an effective form of hydrotherapy.

4. Clears Sinuses
If you've ever had a serious case of allergies, you likely know that a nice warm steam is a great way to open up your sinuses. And a Turkish bath, with its warm and hot rooms , will get your sinuses going so that you can hopefully get over those allergies and or cold much sooner.

5. Increases Circulation
Steam stimulates sweat, which eliminates metabolic waste from the body, thus promoting better circulation in the extremities. However, if you want to increase circulation even more, you can opt for a deep tissue massage following your steam.
