I have had three massages and my husband has had one. We enjoyed our services even though we could not call them a five star massage. There are different therapists you can book, but it is hard to find out what therapists work there. there is nothing available show Background specialties for therapists. You just have to try various therapists and see what you like. It is in a convenient location close to downtown Gainesville. It is an old small house on a main road, it is in moderately good condition. The house was refurbished nicely for a spa. However, the maintenance needs some help when you walk in the windows are dirty and the beverage tray is always empty and unavailable. It needs a good cleaning. And freshening up a bit. But, overall, I am satisfied for Gainesville spa that is moderately priced.

I had an appointment for today and brought in a gift certificate that my husband had given me years…read moreago pre-pandemic. I was not able to use it, of course during the pandemic, even though I tried several times. After a consultation with the manager, the lovely receptionist told me that they would not honor the gift certificate $100. The gift certificate did not have an expiration date on it, but evidently they have a policy that it cannot be used after five years. Especially in light of the closures during the pandemic. I do not think this was right. I choose to no longer patronize this business and will be getting my massages elsewhere from now on.

Overall experience was superb. 5 stars are not enough to describe the experience. From the very beginning, customer service was A1. They worked with my schedule and were very accommodating to my needs. My massage therapist, Shenika, was beyond amazing!! The way she worked with the knots in my back was impressive. This last week has been extremely rough and this was exactly what was needed. She was very friendly and super kind. I couldn't have asked for a better person, she was exactly what I needed. Looking forward to booking with her again. Thanks Shenika!!

We are VERY careful everywhere we go with making sure we are doing all to keep ourselves and others safe. There was zero attention to safety here and sadly because of that we will not be able to return unless there are major changes to their Covid safety policies.

Ok, so since I was given a gift certificate for two massages, I decided to give Serenity another…read morechance, even though my previous review was a poor one. When we arrived, another tea party was in full swing (flashback to previous review) but at least this one was for adult ladies. So, the massage was very nice, and we decided to have a cup of tea. I had just done my Yelp check in, commenting on the tepid tea I had been served, when a spa worker who looked exactly like Thomas P (see his biased review of Serenity - only one review in two years - so suspicious) saw me Yelping. He asked me about Yelp, like he had never heard of it (yeah, right!) and I said Yelp was great for finding peer rated businesses, etc. He walked away after and I thought that was over... was I ever wrong! Evidently, he went into the back office and pulled up my review of Serenity. Next thing I know, the owner comes out surrounded by all her waitresses. She began to berate me for my last review 10 months ago. Says my review was damaging to her business and was impacting her waitresses, all of whom were mothers (not sure why that was relevant). She also said that if I didn't like her place, I should get out and not come back. How unprofessional! If her business is getting bad reviews, maybe there is a real fundamental reason. Maybe it is her temper and tendency to ask paying customers to leave and not come back. The owner is a bigger problem than a bad review. Funny enough, without the owner incident, I probably would have given Serenity a better rating than I had previously. After all, gift certificate notwithstanding, I spent $75.00 there for a coffee pot and dry teas. Still, all in all, I could not in good conscience recommend this business to anyone. Folks, give this place a miss.

I missed an appointment, which I had clearly stated I intended to pay for at my next session. But when I arrived and greeted my therapist, I was stopped at the front desk and told I couldn't go back until "this was taken care of." I was made to stand there while they charged me for both the missed session and the one I hadn't even had yet. It was awkward, cold, and humiliating. Despite all my consistency and support, I was treated like a flight risk. I was made to feel so uncomfortable that I walked out and didn't even stay for the massage I had just paid for. When I reached out to management to explain how upsetting the experience was, the response I received was brief and dismissive. I've since canceled two months of future appointments and requested that my card be removed from their system. Roxanne is a truly wonderful massage therapist, and this review is in no way a reflection of her work. But the way this situation was handled by management was deeply disappointing. There's a lot to work on in how they treat loyal clients and communicate policies. I would have preferred to leave a better review - but this experience left me no choice.

There was no consultation, she didn't engage in much conversation, and it was clear my intake form hadn't been read. Even when I mentioned my tight hips/psoas several times, she didn't adjust. I actually found this place by reading Google reviews and decided to take a chance, so I was disappointed that the session felt generic. Gary, the owner, reached out afterward, apologized, and explained what went wrong. He offered a complimentary 60‑minute session tailored specifically to my concerns, and I went in today. The difference was immediate. Gary was knowledgeable, conversational, and focused exactly on my tight psoas/hip area. He understood the issue from a workout perspective and customized the entire session to what my body actually needed. I now feel confident I've found someone who will truly tailor the massage to my concerns, and I'll be making another appointment soon. I appreciate the follow‑up and the effort to make things right.
