Body Wrap Roma

What it is. A body and beauty treatment centre in Roma Sur: massage, facials, body treatments, waxing and nutrition, for men and women.

What to expect. This is a treatment studio rather than a relaxation spa — the emphasis is on focused, often multi-session programmes rather than on an afternoon of steam rooms. If what you want is to switch off after a long flight, say so explicitly when booking and ask for a relaxation massage.

What to ask before committing. With programme-based treatments, three questions settle most problems: how many sessions make up the course, since it is rarely one; which professional administers them; and what the total price is, as opposed to the price of a single session.

Where it puts you. Roma Sur, on Tuxpan, a few streets from the Insurgentes corridor — which means that after a treatment you are within walking distance of the Mercado Medellín, the cafes of Colima and Córdoba, and the galleries of Álvaro Obregón.

Practical notes. Tuxpan #45, interior 203, Roma Sur. Metro Chilpancingo, line 9, and the Metrobús on Insurgentes. By appointment; call rather than turning up.
