In Santa Fe, NM. Go to the La Posada Hotel and do the mud wrap and massage. Awesome!

It all depends on the therapist. Some of the best have been at the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, AZ,and Ihilani Spa in Hawaii (before Marriott took over). Worst have been in Disneyworld area in florida.

Scott at Red Mountain Spa in St. George, Utah. My absolute favorite massage therapist!

A place called "Auntie Angeline's" on Kauai. It is a very small operation but the lomi lomi experience was amazing!

<BR>Free to travel? Forget the States and go Thailand,visit the Royal Castle and the massage school. They will come to your hotel for a very small fee and are the best in the world IMHO.<BR>NO--sex is NOT involved

Loews Ventana Canyon is Tuscon was probably one of the best massages I've ever had but of course I can't rem. the name of the therapist.<BR><BR>P.S. I've talked to a few therapists whose clients have asked for a happy ending, they normally stop the massage immed. and ask the person to never come back. One time a guy's wife called to schedule an appointment and the therapist told her she wasn't taking males anymore.

Believe it or not, the best massage I've EVER had was by Susan at the River Palms resort in Laughlin, NV. <BR><BR>I've been to spas all over including Marriott Desert Hot Springs, Bellagio, Four Seasons Aviara, La Costa and numerous day spas, but Susan (not Sue) was incredible. Absolutely the best!

Try the Asian Palace Baths or Sun Accupressure off Harry Hines in Dallas.

A blind person gave me an incredible massage in Vegas. It was the best massage I ever received.

I second John's recommendation for the school of massage at Wat Po (temple of the reclining Budha) in Bangkok.
