Indagare in Action:

Last month a member called us with a last-minute request for a spa getaway with two girlfriends. Taking into account her criteria (“looking for a place like Canyon Ranch, but nicer”), we were able to get her the Luxury Suite at Mii Amo. Her response: “It was fabulous! Spa treatments were fantastic. We did nothing except eat, read, spa and wine (and a little exercise). Compared to Canyon Ranch, it was cheaper and significantly more luxurious!...We will DEFINITELY go back!”
