My deep tissue massage was just okay. The masseuse put a lot of pressure on my back which was where my problem area was however, for the rest of my body, it didn't feel like I was massaged at all unfortunately. I normally like a lot of pressure however, after my back was done, hardly any pressure at all for the rest of my body. I like to walk out of a deep tissue massage refreshed. read more

I've been neglecting my monthly body massage and when I got my birthday gift card from my best friend I made the appointment. My masseuse was great I told her my back was hurting so she worked on it she did a wonderful job getting the areas that needing much attention. read more

Banyan Massage Hale - Massage Room - Massage Therapy Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Easily one of the best massages I have had in 10 years. I live on the island but my mom was visiting for vacation and I wanted so badly for her to have a stress-free experience. She's worked on her feet for her entire career, suffers with arthritis and it takes a lot for her to genuinely relax. Reina and Stacy were conversational, kind from the moment we walked in, asked thorough questions about what we wanted to focus on and simply took such tender care of us. Mom and I giggled in our room together, bonded and felt so rejuvenated after our appointment. Mahalo plenny ladies for creating such an inviting, fun, refreshing environment for us! You work well as a team, carry different strengths but its obvious you prioritize the care of the client. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

I have had a lot of massages and never have I ever left feeling this good before. I went in with a lot of tension and neck pain and left feeling like I was floating. Victoria is hands down THE BEST. read more

Aloha,  I'm new to the Island and recently moved here from San Diego and have been here a little over a month. Everyone knows how stressful moving could be let alone during a pandemic, and the havoc it could have on your body. I am a computer engineer and spend most of my time on the desk and therefore, I have a lot of kinks and knots in my neck, shoulders and back. This move definitely amplified the pain and discomfort in my body, and it was truly unbearable. My husband booked me a 90 min deep tissue massage with Kaitlyn at Banyan Massage, and it was absolutely one of the most therapeutic deep tissue massages I have ever had. I've traveled for both business and leisure all over the world throughout my life and have had some of the best massages. This massage from Kaitlyn definitely ranks as one on the top of my list, I was seriously worried about not finding the right place for me in the short time that I've been here, but I really lucked out and found it. I was able to feel progress in the middle of my massage, and that was a HUGE relief off my shoulders. I can honestly say everything hurt before my massage because I've been under a lot of stress recently, but thanks to Kaitlyn's techniques and abilities I was able to feel my muscles release the tension. I'm so grateful to get the knots out and to have my range of motion restored. Thank you Banyan for having massage therapists that follow COVID safety protocols, I truly appreciate that. Definitely will be back to see Kaitlyn, and I'll be recommending you guys to people on the island - to my friends when they visit us. read more

Was really looking forward to this couples massage but both my husband and I left feeling very underwhelmed. In all honesty, I thought the appt was at 1 so we were 15 min late for a 90 minute massage which was totally my fault. The owner was gracious enough to charge for 75 minutes but the massage was just ok. We felt like both therapists put in minimal effort. We left a little perplexed since I was referred by a CMT who used to work there. read more

Ashley gave the most incredible deep tissue massage. I feel incredibly relaxed and ready for the rest of the week!

One of the worst massages I've ever gotten. Requested deep tissue massage with firm pressure. Asked the masseuse to focus on my mid back and no legs/feet. She spent the entire hour massaging everything but the back and when she did touch my back it was a light tickle there wasn't any pressure at all. It felt like she learned how to give massages from YouTube and didn't know what she was actually doing. I've had many deep tissue massages before and this WAS NOT IT. read more

Best massage I've had in a long time at an affordable price. Jennifer m did not disappoint. I had deep tissue/ Lomi Lomi. She listened to my needs and has great healing energy. Will be back! read more

Stephanie did a fantastic job listening to my needs and working out all my kinks. She's professional, intuitive and amazing with her skills. I recommend you come to Banyan Massage Hale and request her as your massage therapist. Mahalo Stephanie. Keep up the good work. read more

A coworker suggested Melissa for massage at Banyan Massage Hale. He used her professional massage therapy for several years and said she could help me with my chronic body aches and pains. I registered, then scheduled online. Their website has been improved and tho it took me a while to figure out choosing the therapist I specifically wanted (you can schedule without choosing a specific therapist, up to you) and services I needed, I got my scheduling done. Payment was easy and you have a window in case you need to cancel or reschedule. I would not even attempt to call. Every service can be done on their website. Melissa was very professional and a great listener. She also has a welcoming personality that puts you at ease. Remember, before your session starts, you need to communicate as clearly as possible what therapy treatment you need. Melissa gives ample time for that. Your session is done discreetly. Melissa uses essential oils and it is a private session with only one room. Warm lighting and soft music. Very relaxing. Melissa is "GREAT!" She knows her art and always tries to keep you at your comfort level at the same time ease and relax your body in the areas you have communicated as a concern for you. I have been back to her several times. There is a package of massage therapy that you can purchase and share also with your family. Ask her about it. Melissa also suggested a new massage therapy "Ashiatsu"that another therapist would be offering. Let me tell you I just tried it and I will be writing a separate review for that! read more

We are staying at the Doubletree next door. After a lot of flying and hiking for days this was perfect. We both got the neck, back and shoulder massage (30 min each) with Kehau. She was great and worked for the whole 30 minutes with just the right amount of pressure and care. She asked great questions and listened to my body. Very pleased! read more

One word...Amazing! After couple days of shoulder pain I dicided to finally got get a massage and I wasn't disappointed at all. Max was very polite and Professional, asking me all the right answers and giving me suggested techniques we would use. After the hour was up I wish I'd have taken the 90min session, but I had to get to work. After the session he gave me some tips to do at home to help my shoulder feel better then it already was. Definitely would recommend this place, give it a try. Thank you Max (^_^) read more

Jad an awesome massage by Jerica. 90 minutes of bliss. Would highly recommend her. Thank you Jerica.

During my honeymoon, I had a 1hr couples massage with Melissa and Jerica, and it was amazing!! Highly recommend. I can attest to Melissa's skills. I've had a couple of massages in the past and this was the most relaxing one so far. She had some unique techniques that I loved with the perfect amount of pressure. I wish I could list the names of the different positions I enjoyed, but there were many. Essential oils smelled amazing. They also use hot towels to do a couple of maneuvers with the neck. I will definitely be back if I'm in the big Island again. Thanks again for the amazing massage! read more

Attempted to get In contact with them and it's hard to Schulz an appointment over the phone; if someone would answer. Otherwise when I'm on island they are normally the business that massages my body read more

The best massage I've ever had. I'm going back if I'm ever on the island again! She was very friendly, incredibly knowledgable and able to help with problem areas. read more

Online scheduling was easy, and the location on Banyan Drive is really comfortable and relaxing. I got a 60 min massage with hot stones and it was awesome, the masseuse caught that I had a TON of tension in my back and was kind enough to focus on it and later gave me tips on a few stretches I could incorporate into my routine to help ease the tensions still remaining in my back. Would return happily. read more

I absolutely love going to see Ellen, she always makes me feel welcomed and relaxed for my massage. I tend to have a lot of tension in my lower back and I leave every time floating on air. I just need to find more time in my work schedule to book more massages with her. read more

Booked on line and hot an almost instant confirmation. Also got a quick call asking if it was alright to push back 15 minutes which wasnt a problem for me. It was a Sunday off and i had no other plans. Jen asked where my troubled spots were. I told her head, neck and shoulders. In the 90 minute time frame she worked out most of the knots and still managed to hit the rest of the body for the full body massage experience. She suggesred I come back next week so I am. Tjis time with Ariel. Will update review afterwards. read more

Peace and Tranquility, the goal. Through Guiding hands, Anne, lifted me not just out of my stress but into Serenity. I have had 2 massages from Anne, and they are the 2 best massages in my life... Goal met. I would recommend the hour and a half massage with hot stones. Through my life I have had hundreds of massages, few have reached the level of art, for me here is Perfection... Book and be lifted. read more

At Banyan Massage, you will receive a wonderful massage that is skillfully delivered with love and compassion. Anne and Melissa are artful practitioners who take their work seriously and prepare for it with their knowledge and daily attitude. They are very committed to their work and overall health, seeing massage as an integrated experience. Both women "listen" to your muscles and joints, finding tight spots that you didn't even realize that you had which get worked on and eased. You will just know that suddenly, you feel so much better. These two business partners also are deeply committed to their work and enjoy it, which results in a high quality massage for you. I highly recommend Melissa and Anne's Banyan Massage Hale. read more

This calm relaxing place is great. I had Jennifer work on me and she is amazing! Definitely recommend this massage Hale to everyone. It doesn't disappoint. read more

BRIA!!!!! Best massage I've ever had. I woke up this morning almost unable to move. She totally took me to another world and had me floating. I am incredibly picky with massages, I went to massage school and am a total snob when it comes to pace and pressure. She was perfect. Thank you so much Bria! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect since my appt time was in a few min and the door was still locked with another customer(I assumed) esp because they recommend you come earlier to fill out an intake form. pleasantly surprised with my session with Jennifer. Walked out very relaxed and at peace. Thank you. read more

We booked it a couple hours before coming in, she was super friendly and it was a GREAT WONDERFUL FANTASTIC RELAXING BEAUTIFUL massage. I don't have enough words in the dictionary to describe it. We lovedddddd it. read more

I go in every 3 weeks for a massage. When and if I miss one, my body begins to ache to the point where I am forced to slow down. Thanks to Anne's magical hands, I am relieved of pain and can resume my daily activities. Relaxing, healing and good for the soul. read more

Possibly the best massage I've had in my entire life. Be sure to schedule with Ellen Claire. Wishing she lived in my hometown. She'd have a regular customer for life. read more

Great massage (by Jennifer M) in a very comfortable setting at a fair price late in the day and booked relatively last minute (I scheduled a 6:30 pm massage online at around 5pm). Nice balance between an intense, efficient massage and frills (hot towels, scented oils). I rarely get professional massages after a series of disappointments, but this was worth it. read more

This is hands down, the best and most professional massage and spa treatment business on the East side of Hawaii Island. The services can include personalized treatments to fit the needs of the client, and all the esthticians are very well trained in how to approach any kind of massage therapy. The place is clean, well appointed, but not fussy, and the prices are exceptionally reason able. You will not regret booking a massage or facial treatment at Banyan Massage Hale! read more

Had one of the best massages while on vacation to the Big Island from Oahu. Will definitely book agains on another trip.

I tweaked my neck and shoulder at the gym so I booked a 30 minute massage. I left there feeling much better than when I walked in the door.
