About 2 weeks ago I went into Canela spa for a massage, a gift certificate from my friend. I love how nice it is. Very clean and hospitable and they have great scents all around. It's bigger than it appears to be. I was introduced to this male masseus Jose. Very young looking, but warm, friendly and very attentive. He asked me some questions, offered me something to drink and walked me into the spa. I was a little nervous and somehow Jose sensed it and immediately made me feel at ease by informing me what he intended to do and told me if I felt uncomfortable at anytime, to please let him know. He also told me I was in total control of the massage. I've never been told that before. I felt good knowing that. Some things he said made me laugh too. But what'll make me return soon are that mans' hands. He has the hands of a god. He pressed and rubbed and stretched and did so many things I couldn't even describe it. I felt so relaxed almost immediately I fell asleep a little, til I had to turn over. I don't recall his hands ever leaving my body, but then again I fell asleep. I went in tensed and came out floating on clouds an hour later,but it felt like so much longer. No masseus in any of the many spas I've gone to treated me so well or have ever done half the things he did from the moment he saw me. If I could take that man's hands home I so would. And from that experience its obvious they train their staff very well. I'm traveling to the Bronx for a massage anytime. They are worth the cab ride up there.
