COZUMEL, Mexico (June 18, 2014)  –  The 220-guest room Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa, the only five-star luxury hotel in Cozumel and a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and Virtuoso, has also established a reputation for its world-class spa offering the old, the new and the quite fashionable.

The Spa at Presidente Intercontinental Cozumel proudly features indoor treatment suites for one or two, vichy shower, Jacuzzi, steam room, ocean side massage huts and outdoor soaking tub.   Mayan-inspired spa experiences include the Mayan Temazcal, a traditional purification ritual with a Mayan Shaman, adding medicinal herbs to a fire of wood and volcanic stone to produce steam to help flush out toxins, and cleanse the mind, body and soul; and the Mayan Lovers Ritual, which includes the Mayan Temazcal, then a soak in a nourishing milk bath, followed by a side by side massage for two.

A unique massage menu includes hot stone therapy, Balinese massage, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, sports massage, Shiatsu, reflexology and even vinotherapy.  The modern and most up to date treatments for the face feature deep pore cleansing, Plantomer®, Lumafirm® Lift & Glow, and the Myoxy-Caviar®High Performance Mask.

The Spa also offers a wide array of body scrubs, body wrap, kids and teens treatments, hair services, and manicures and pedicures.  The trendy Ictiotherapy, fashionable in Asia and now widely popular in the U.S. and Europe, is now a signature feature and often requested service at The Spa.  Ictiotherapy uses the Garra Rufa fish to exfoliate the outer layer of skin on the feet.  The fish generate an enzyme called dithranol which has a regenerating effect on the skin, promoting blood circulation.  The new layers of skin are more glossy, smooth and healthy.

The Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and is located on a half mile of white, sandy beach, surrounded by green vegetation and just steps from  one of the world's largest coral reef system.  Resort amenities include four restaurants and three bars, world-class spa, 24-hour fitness center, tennis, Scuba Du in-house PADI dive shop and Chiqui Club year-round children's program.  Guests can also enjoy swimming with the dolphins at Chankanaab National Park or golf at the nearby Nicklaus-designed Cozumel Country Club.  

The resort has received the 2014 TripAdvisor® Traveler's Choice Award as one of the top hotels in Mexico, was also recognized by U.S. News & World Report as Best Hotel in Cozumel in its Best Hotel rankings for 2014, and an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator Magazine for its Alfredo Di Roma gourmet restaurant.
