Keith and I went away because we needed to. It had been a long time since just him and I went somewhere to get away. We have taken vacations and quick weekend trips but we like to include the kids in those so it was time to spend some time, just us. The last six months has also given us a lot of stressful situations that we really needed to reset ourselves. Although the resort is extremely child and family friendly, it worked out perfect for a couples get away as well. Our accommodations were clean and comfortable. We had a king size room with an ocean view where you could see the lighthouse. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the pillows, well lets just say I will be trying to find pillows just like that very soon. Even sleeping at home last night made me miss the pillows.
While we were there it did snow which was quite beautiful. You could see the fairways of the golf course made into beautiful little hills. In the month of January they have an outdoor ice bar that I wish we had gotten to take part of but we did enjoyed looking at the penguin ice sculpture at breakfast (if you haven't read my food post on the restaurant on site you must!!). There is also an outdoor rink. I love skating and have been in skates since I could walk however the wind was too cold for me to get out there.
The resort has a health club which hosts a work out room, an indoor pool and a Jacuzzi. There was also steam rooms which we and another couple were disappointed where segregated by gender. It was something Keith and I would have enjoyed together however was not as appealing separated. In the summer months there is also an outdoor pool and pool bar. We found there is however a really great way to release the stress as a couple while visiting this resort... THE SPA!
Keith knew when we started looking at locations that I just wanted a massage. It had been years and I had been feeling it. One of the reasons this resort was picked was because of the spa feature and they did not disappoint. Julie at the front desk was warm and welcoming and even found the time to add on a reflexology treatment to my massage. I liked that although my treatment was starting before Keith's, they had me in the couples room so that I did not have to move for the couples massage portion. My 1 main regret is that Keith and I both became so relaxed that we can not remember our therapists names and for that we are truly sorry. You two were amazing!! My reflexology treatment was perfect. I could feel the pressure and tension in my feet just releasing. During the couples massage I had a Swedish massage as I really just needed to release the stress and chill out, which I did. Keith had a therapeutic massage as his shoulder and back is a nightmare. What she did was magic and lasted all the way up until this morning at work. She had given him recommendations of treatments to help him so we will now be looking into it. To the therapist I had, you have no idea the level of stress you have released from me. I feel centered and refreshed. You did an amazing job. Once we remember these lovely ladies names I will be sure to add them to this. This spa has a whole menu of spa options that we recommend taking the time to look in to if you are ever in the area.
This resort was exactly what we needed and located surrounded by lovely little towns. If you find yourself wanting to take a look around, Camden and Rockland have a lot to offer. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and can't wait to return!!
