I have tried many sunbed salons and have to say this was the one that stood out. Bulbs are replaced frequently and they are by far the strongest around. Sunbeds are also really cheap compared to everywhere else. They have deals in store, I got the 60 minute deal, which was only 30 euro. They have some tanning creams in store too but I haven't tried any of them yet.

A luxury spa situated on Stephen's Green just a short walk from all the shops and restaurants…read moreDublin has to offer. Sounds like heaven right? Well, it's pretty close! The Shelbourne Spa is not actually in the hotel, but three doors down to the right. I've never noticed it before as it blends in as one if the big Victorian style houses but it's really easy to find. The spa is actually upstairs but you have full use of the leisure club facilities when using the spa and these are on the ground floor. In terms of decor, it is every bit as elegant as the hotel, with big chandeliers and plush furniture. When you check in you are brought to change into your robe and slippers before being led to the relaxation room which looks over Stephen's Green, which I loved. If I'm honest, I've been in better relaxation rooms, this one was very bright and probably would have been relaxing if it wasn't for a group of really loud talkers. This wasn't the staff's fault but tainted the experience a little for me. In terms of refreshments there was a selection of teas, some small nibbles and water. Also, after your treatment you get a tasting plate of fruit, juice and sorbet. I opted for the 'Tropical' which consisted of pineapple juice, kiwi and coconut sorbet and it was delicious. The highlight for me was the treatment though. I received a gift of the "Celebratory Spa Package" which consisted of an Elemis facial and a hot- stone back massage. Both of these were excellent, the therapist was lovely and spoke me through the products she used afterwards. The one criticism I would have would be that it's quite expensive at €129 for the package which only lasted an hour. I would have expected it to last a little longer at this price. With the excellent staff, treatments and location I would definitely go back, but I think I'd be waiting for a special occasion!

If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Basically, you lie there in a beautifully lit, beautifully smelling room, listening to beautifully chilled sounds, while your therapist lightly lays their hands on various energy lines / chakras, clearing energy blockages and helping your energy to flow more freely. If you're not into this 'mumbo-jumbo', know this. It was a supremely relaxing experience. If you are looking to clear your mind, and walk away with a sense of complete calmness, this is something to try. I had a spring in my step and an absolutely clear, calm mind. I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. On the Dublin Holistic Centre; well it's just a little oasis in the city. Candles, smells, peaceful decor, a mind boggling array of holistic treatments as well as yoga and pilates, and really, really lovely staff. (I was drenched when I got there from cycling in the rain, so the receptionist gave me a pair of dry fisherman pants to wear while I was having my treatment, and to allow my clothes to dry before I put them back on. Can't say fairer than that!

Having a woman dig her elbow deep into your back and moving it like a glacier till it reaches your…read moreshoulder blades and then pausing to pummel it deeper may turn some people on but it brings me to tears. I hasten to add not tears of ecstasy. It's an odd relationship. You lie there with your head poking out through the hole of the massage table in your disposable knickers, hoping that you didn't miss a patch shaving your legs. But all that self consciousness evaporates when someone is digging their elbow in your back. "Just relax your leg." "I am." "Wow you are tense." Let me tell you feeling a popping sensation in your back is not hot. Having a masseuse take a focused battle to those muscles incites a range of emotions, such as you want her to win but you want her to stop too (she did ask me to speak up if the pressure was too much, so you do have control). "What popped?" "Oh that's just your muscles you have lots of knots. I am pushing them back were they should be." "Oh." "You are very tense." "I'm sorry." Why did I just apologise I asked myself. She looked at me with the same thought. "So yeah, you should do this more often." "OK." "Also you probably will be very sore tomorrow so get some anti-inflammatory cream." At this point you may be thinking, "Jez Annie you really sold this place to me and the massage." It was 20% bearable pain for me and the rest was very relaxing, also I opted for a deep tissue massage which as the name implies is not going to be sweetness and light. I also appear to be a very uptight person with an extraordinarily tense body. I have Woody Allen muscle tendencies. €60 for 1 hour. Usually it's €80 but they have loads of summer specials, just check out their website. P.S Thank you Edel N & Sharon C for liking my check in tip, your support carried me through the pain.

I made an appointment to get a 30min back massage in my lunch break the other day. My therapist was the lovely Laura who brought me to the relaxation area first and then offered me a robe. I told her I was on my break and needed to go back to the office so she tailored her usual routine to suit my schedule without compromising on time spent on my back. The massage itself was very good, good pressure and little talking - just the way I Iike it. The spa offers different deals depending on the weekday and they do run a loyalty scheme for returning clients. I will certainly be back soon and I will reserve the last star for when I tried one of their facials.

The Royal Marine Hotel, where Sansana is located, is a beautiful hotel that looks like it's straight out of the Wes Anderson movies! Amazing! Once I got to the hotel(where I was not staying by the way) I had to find my way to the spa. I wish it would have been more clearly marked, but ah well. I went through at least 5 sets of double doors to actually get to the spa, where you get buzzed in! Once I was in the spa, I was promptly taken to the locker room where Sylvie(masseuse extraordinaire) had set up my locker with robe/towels/slippers. I got changed and she escorted me to the treatment room! It was so tranquil and the temperature was comfy cozy! We chatted for a moment about the normal stuff - injuries, stress points, current pain, etc- then she got to work! It. Was. Amazing. When I go back, I'm requesting Sylvie specifically! After the massage, I got a facial. There were many different stages and each one was a surprise- especially the scalp massage at the end! The products used were gentle and smelled great! After the facial, I had the dry flotation treatment. Wtheck is that, right? It was basically like being in a water bed, without the water, and being really warm. I was way relaxed during this and even dozed off for a few minutes! All in all, I had a really great experience. The staff were helpful and calming, the facilities were hyper clean and well decorated. When I wasn't in the spa, I had access to the hotel pool, the relaxation rooms that had massage beds and reading nooks, and helping myself to the lemon water and their magazines. Did I mention the sauna and steam rooms? The not so great thing was the robes! They were stiff and small. For a nice spa, I expected a big fluffy robe that you could lounge in. 4 stars!
