Mexico's The Tides Resort has a luxury soap concierge
We've heard of concierge programs, pillow menus and even hand-drawn specialty baths to help you relax and unwind while on vacation. But Mexico's Tides Resort in the Riviera Maya has taken luxury and relaxation a step further with a Soap Concierge.
You read that correctly. A Soap Concierge.
Arriving at the Tides, you are welcomed with a 'Mayan Blessing' by the luxury resort's own shaman, and are personally escorted to your villa by your mayordomo. Then the Soap Concierge arrives to explain and provide this special personalized service.
I'm pretty sure we'd need some explanation too.
The simple story: A variety of soaps are presented in different scents and types – each offering a different experience. When you make your selections, the Soap Concierge slices your personalized bars from large blocks of soap.
Very nice. They REALLY want you to be clean.
The artisanal soaps are made in local Mayan communities following ancient Mayan traditions. They are formulated with organic ingredients found on the Yucatan Peninsula. The wide array of scents ranges from lemon and chocolate to rosemary, peach and oatmeal.
Are you hungry yet? We are.
The available scents change with the seasons, from cinnamon in winter to melon during spring. Each also has a unique property; for instance, oatmeal is excellent for exfoliating, the lemon is refreshing, and the chocolate great for relaxation.
We're still hungry.
Depending on your length of stay, the Soap Concierge generally offers two or more bars of soap, which are cut in front of them. But if you would like to try additional varieties, the Concierge is happy to bring more selections of these aromatic treats.
You ask, the Soap Concierge will give.
If you want to take the soaps home – to remind you of your time The Tides or to share with family and friends – they are available for purchase in the resort gift shop.
Because there's no such thing as a free soap.
