I seem to remember being told by reservations that what are now One Bedroom Water Suites used to be called Navaranna Water Bungalows, although I could be mistaken.

Not at all, however it is not an option for those who require products to be chemical free, and would not be used at certain hotels and resorts for this reason.
I am a huge fan of the spa at the Espa spa at The Peninsula Bangkok, which is the most beauiful spa I have ever experienced at a city hotel/urban resort. The spa at Phulay Bay also is very nice and has a beauiful treatment suite.

It must be tough to find spas that have entirely chemical-free products, no?

I see. Thanks for clarifying. I was pleased with the Espa at the BJ Peninsula. Nothing over the top, but quite nice.

Good spas in general are hard to find, but Chemical-free treatments are becoming increasingly available. Many Four Seasons spas such as New York and the Geroge V in paris offer chemical-free treatments. Amanresorts, Soneva/Six Senses resorts, and some independent resorts such as Trisara are all excellent places for chemical-free treatments.

Oh boy. A Dutchman fell from the SkyPark at the MBS in SIN! It sounds like you'd really have to try to get over the edge...but nevertheless...aikes...

Head over to Lago di Garda and Villa Feltrinelli? It is quite close- personally I much prefer Garda to Como. Villa Feltrinelli is extremely well regarded on this board.
