Cheryl is knowlegeable and caring. She is passionate about bodywork and continues to learn. As a therapist myself,I recommend her if you are in Samara.

Cheryl is amazing at giving massages. I have had one before but she did things that I never experienced. She really wants to know what you like by asking on the form what music you like, what kind of pressure you want, and what you want specifically worked on.
Cheryl and Glenn are great hosts. They let us use their washer and their bikes to ride into town. Glenn welcomed me at the gate when I first arrived which made me feel welcome. He also gave a tour of the house and tips of the area.
Highly recommend staying here and getting a massage from Cheryl! And their son and puppies and so sweet 🙂

I recently had the pleasure of staying here for 22 days! Practicing self care had me pampered every other day with a 90 minute beach front massage!! Cheryl's level of commitment and focus on her clients is unparalleled. Her years of experience and training have her heartful intuition finely tuned to what your body, mind and spirit need and desire during treatments. For myself, I struggle with inflammation, degenerative arthritis with injuries as a result and a few other physical issues. Without going into emotional body issues, I just want to express that Cheryl was instrumental in bringing forth healing through her consistent touch and unconditional support throughout my stay at her Relaxation Spot!! I recommend that anyone in or near Samara should take the time to pamper yourself by attaining a massage from this highly skilled, multi-talented, intuitive "healer"! I will always be grateful for my time spent with you and your family <3

Beachfront massage lives up to it's name 100%. This was my first massage experience, and a part that really struck me was how Cheryl began the massage by telling me while we were facing the ocean and syncing with our bodies, that if we were to set sail off Samara beach, we wouldn't touch land til Antartica. She told me to gather all my stress and send it on a voyage. I really liked that idea, but the massage itself was so good, I haven't got a lot of experience but there wasn't anything about I disliked at all. Besides, it's hard to beat having that kind of experience less than 100metres from the water, with the waves and the smell of salt 🙂

I have NEVER had such an amazing massage before...ANYWHERE!
I met Cheryl Adams through a very dear friend of mine while I was visiting with him in Costa Rica. He raved and raved about her magical artistic healing touch and I was is desperate need of pain relief from a chronic back ailment. I am convinced that if I could have massages from Cheryl on a regular basis (in Costa Rica of course) that I would no longer suffer with my pain! Thank you Cheryl!!

Ive had many massages from different professional massage therapist in several countries..... I find myself thinking about reasons I can give myself in order to book here again for work done to my body. Thank you for the relief you have given me and for the hour of relaxation.

What an incredible massage I received today from Cheryl Adams at the Relaxation Spot in Samara, CR (and I've received many massages from a variety of therapists - my husband is in the industry). Cheryl’s approach to massage is excellent - she integrated relaxation, healing and therapeutic techniques that transported me to a peaceful place at the same time as she worked the many knots in my shoulders and pains in my body due to stress and repetitive injury. What I loved most about Cheryl’s massage was her intuitive and caring touch and her patient way of discovering and working the tense muscles until they relaxed. She was great at communicating with me to explain what she was going to do next, always with a soft and gentle voice. The location is great too. While receiving the massage, I could feel the ocean breeze and hear birds singing - it added yet another layer of paradise to my experience!

Deeply therapeutic! I was recommended to go see Cheryl when I first arrived, and I had no idea she would be so good. She has a wonderful skill at knowing the right pressure along with how to move the body to receive a deeply transformative release. Clearly she has been doing this for a very long time! I highly recommend going to see Cheryl!!

Last Saturday I had my soul and my body renewed and recharged and purified: I went for a 90min full body massage by Cheryl @ The Relaxation Spot and in my experience, I truly had the best massage of my life.
Cheryl personalize your massage depending on your needs and taste: her touch is firm and sensitive and truly transmitting good waves or healing.
Beside the fact that the Cheryl is a very incredible talented massage therapist, the location is so perfect!!
Lying in the shade under palm trees right in front of the ocean, listening with my eyes closed to the lullaby of the surfs at the beach and blessed by the soft ocean breeze and smelling the salty water....I just left this planet and emptied myself from BAD and felt filled with GOOD.
I have to confess, few tears appeared in my eyes when it was over and the way I felt just can be described as thankful.
So, this is me....trying to tell you how this blessed me, and hoping that will bless you too soon.
Thank you Cheryl, will be back soon for more love and care <3

Our friend, my wife, and I stayed at The Relaxation Spot for a night while traveling through Costa Rica. Not only were Cheryl and Glen amazing host who felt like old friends, but Cheryl truly gives amazing massages. Both my wife and I got 90 minute massages and they were nothing short of extraordinary. I have gotten a few massages in my life in various locations, but Cheryl's was the best! The view from the massage table is amazing as it takes place right in front of the beach, so you can hear the waves crashing and feel the ocean breeze as you relax in paradise! I would highly recommend to seek out Cheryl and the The Relaxation Spot if you can ever get to Samara!

Smooth strokes and a good amount of strength. I felt Cheryl knew the body really well and over delivered.

What a fabulous experience! The massage was incredible and you can't beat the location. Getting massaged with the sound of the waves in the background is unforgettable! The fan made the temperature super comfortable too. Would highly recommend The Relaxation Spot to anyone!! Thanks again, Cheryl! �

I had an AMAZING birthday 90 minute massage with Cheryl today. Oh my gosh! Absolute Pure Bliss!!!! The BEST I have ever had. And, right on the beach in a cool, shady, screened area. Sorry to repeat myself, but.... it was 90 min. of PURE BLISS!

Yesterday I had my first ever massage. I was nervous and didn't know how I would feel what was going to happen etc...what if it hurt? Cheryl made me completely comfortable - her paperwork explained everything ( I don't think most places do that) and the massage was JUST RIGHT. She explained what to do and why she was doing certain things.
Now - massage aside and how fabulous Cheryl is aside - the location. Does it get any better???? Gorgeous lawn looking out onto the sea. No noise covered gazebo so totally private yet not hot not a weather issue because you're under cover - the breezes from the sea the tang of salt air....I could have simply layed there and done nothing and it would be worth it.
Final thought- if you've been waiting I would go now because once she gets discovered the lines will be long

Awesome place and magic hands! When you go to Cheryl, you will never ever want to go see another massage therapist!
I had some serious issues in my back and in only one session, she was able, to take away all the pain and let me feel like new! Highly recommend her!

I had been hesitant to have an outdoor massage at the beach because of the heat and bugs so I wasn't sure I'd really enjoy it, but Cheryl’s set up is amazing! You've got the beach so close, yet you're set back far enough that it's private and the fan blowing down from the top of the tent provides plenty of cool air and keeps the mosquitos away. Now for the massage...Wow! Cheryl is obviously very experienced and the word that kept coming to mind was "deliberate". She has a very deliberate touch. She knows what she's searching for and works sore muscles with precision. She was also very generous with her time. I would return in a heartbeat.

I have been doing for others for a couple weeks now and felt depleted so decided it was time for me to get a massage. I saw Cheryl at The Relaxation Spot and the name is spot on! Cheryl was able to take me to another place and where I was able to completely let go. She worked my muscles in the kindest, gentlest yet firm way. I am now floating on a cloud. Thanks Cheryl! <3
