Took a stroll post-lunch to Montigo Spa
Do remember to book your treatments in advance prior to your trip through emailing to spa@montigoresorts.com, as their schedules are pretty packed.
Their spa menu is available online.
They didn't indicate Pre-natal massage on their menu, so we enquired through email, and their reply:
"We have the prenatal massage here at Montigo Spa although is not written on our spa menu but we have trained therapist to do this special treatment. For prenatal massage we do side by side with special technique where the benefits of this massage can improve overall prenatal health for many pregnant women. However this massage is not recommended during the first or second months pregnancy only after third months is allow to do this prenatal massage to avoid risk for miscarriage associated with the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The price for pre natal massage 60 minutes is Rp. 650.000++."
And so we go ahead with the reservation for pre natal for me and hubby tried their signature Montigo Massage. They also give very clear directions in their confirmation email:
"Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the schedule time, that relevant consultations and treatment preparations can be completed. So we are equally respectful of the service that may follow yours, all treatment will be end on time.

Our couple treatment room and linked toilet
Changed into their robe in the well-equipped toilet and the massage starts with a foot bath before we move to the full body massage. Pampering treatment indeed.
Post Massage we got to enjoy flower tea is this cozy lounge, with full glass window that rears chicken by the yard. Very relaxing and there is nobody there to rush you to finish your drinks or do payments.
