Although I had been to Mexico several times, I never knew how many different types of spas the country has to offer. "Mexico" Mike has obviously been to every one of them. He showed me that "spa" means a lot of different things and choosing the right one takes more than just asking a travel agent. Thanks to his honest recommendations, I was able to choose a holistic spa instead of the beach resort that my travel agent recommended.Mike does more than list spas. He tells you the good AND bad points of each one. He peppers his observations with a wry sense of humor and very personal anecdotes that make this an enjoyable read, even if you never leave your armchair.
Besides spas, he covers free hot springs for the adventurous. Although this is not my cup of tea, his stories about finding them had me in stiches!
While reading this book, I felt like Mike was there next to me, guiding my way.
