Spa LaPosada is a dream come true for its owner, Edna
Posada. A "posada" is an inn, a place that allows you to
relax your mind, body and soul. Edna began to envision a
full-service spa, a place that would give rest to the weary.
The result is Spa LaPosada...warm colors, soft lights,
relaxing music and the personal attention that brings
customers back again and again.
