    Been a customer here for just under a year and the one and only issue we had was not handled in a…read moremanner that made us feel valued as clients. My friend and I have gotten a few massages from here and they have been generally good. We both found Sasha to be the most experienced and the best provider at this establishment. That being said, our past and now last visit, was concerning. Our masseuses, Lisa & Sophia had us for 90 minutes and the entire time I was lying on the bed, I was just counting the minutes until the massage was over. I've never had this happen. I have gotten massages everywhere and of course some therapists are better than others, some more experienced and some just flow better with my preferences. Massage on the Beach has generally been on the better side so we were shocked and disappointed during our last visit. There were a few minor inconveniences but the biggest problem was the lack of attentiveness during the massage. Lisa was my masseuse and from the beginning, I sensed she was either unhappy, upset, annoyed or just having an off day. To clarify, she was not rude or impolite towards me specifically, just... off. I didn't have a great feeling from the start. I've had massages where the pressure or specific body part hurts just a little more than I'd like - I specifically tell therapists to avoid my legs because they're hypersensitive - but eventually once the soreness wears, you feel incredibly loose and much better. This wasn't the case here. Harder pressure but slow, coordinated hand motions are pretty much how a normal massage goes. Lisa was essentially jack-hammering my body, almost as if in a rush to get through the 90 minutes. Multiple times I asked her to lighten up on the pressure and she would, then move onto the next body part and resume the extreme pressure and speed. At one point, I gave up asking and just prayed it would be over soon. After my massage, I felt incredibly dis-regulated - the kind of feeling you get after puking - some relief that the pain is over, however, the uneasy queasiness comes with it as well. I don't particularly consider myself an overall anxious person but I was extremely anxious afterwards. In my extremely uncomfortable state, I managed to find some courage and told reception how awful I felt. She was apologetic and offered me a 50% discount and advised if I still felt the need to request a larger discount or complimentary service I should reach out again via phone or email. Life happened and some time passed and I kept procrastinating reaching out then finally found some time to reach out - about a few weeks later. Sent a detailed email with both mine and my friends shared experience - she had the exact same grievances with her masseuse, Sophia, which we found oddly coincidental seeing as we were with two separate masseuses, in two separate rooms, and they both managed to give us the same careless service. Management sent a very corporate-speak email a few days later and I felt it lacked empathy for our experience especially being two members of their service. They ultimately advised that no additional refunds, complimentary services, or other accommodations would be offered. My massage was discounted at the time of the complaint, but my friend paid in full plus tip and did not receive any adjustment. We will be going back to our old massage spot. Closer and cheaper and never had any masseuse take our their frustrations on our bodies there. I genuinely wish this would have been handled differently because we've had generally much better experiences here.

    I've been to Divine Foot Spa several times now, and I've consistently had a great massage with both…read moremale and female massage therapists. I originally came in for a 30-minute foot massage because my feet were aching--and with "Foot Spa" in the name and the great reviews, it seemed like the obvious choice! Since then, I've started getting the 1-hour Classic Massage, which is a head-to-toe massage for only $45. Even better, the price is the same whether you pay with cash or card, and they accept mobile payments. I actually have a membership at another local massage spa, but I come here when my regular massage therapist isn't available or when I simply don't want to pay the much higher price. At this point, I'm seriously considering canceling my membership and just coming here instead. A few things to know before you go: This is not a private, quiet, luxury spa experience. The massage area is open, you are next to another massage bed, and you can hear people moving around or talking. If complete privacy and silence are important to you, this may not be the right fit. But if your priority is getting a genuinely good, affordable massage, Divine Foot Spa is absolutely worth checking out. They're usually busy, which I take as a good sign, but I've often been able to get a same-day appointment as long as I don't wait until too late in the day to call. For the quality and price, this place is hard to beat. I've had a great experience every time and highly recommend giving them a try--especially if you're looking for a good massage without the high-end spa price tag. I'll definitely keep coming back!

The guy I had literally put his entire strength on my shoulders and back and I feel like he hit every knot and I felt super nimble after. I had a lower back injury few years ago and my back feels so much better. I didn't even realize I had that much tension there but they were able to release the knots. My boyfriend and I noticed how strong they were when they were giving us our massage. Compared to some luxury spas who kinda just do the bare minimum , this place definitely released stress in my body and worked through every muscle. Though you're in a room full of other people, I felt very comfortable and relaxed. They do ask you to pay upfront. I paid $30 for the 60 min. And then after your massage you tip your masseuse. Some will ask to take off your tops and they'll provide robes and I noticed some kept their tops on. I guess it's preference? I tipped mine $20 and he looked happy. I liked how they don't chase you down for more as some other places will do. Overall I really like this place and will be going back in the near future!

    I was really hoping for this to be a great experience, but it was extremely disappointing. I had…read morejust ended a 2-day conference where I was on my feet all day in heels and sorely needed a foot massage. I called this place and they were ready to take me in 15 minutes. when I arrived, they asked for payment upfront. this is highly unusual and nowhere else that offers any kind of service (spa, salon, etc.) takes payment upfront. this should've been my first clue that clients often dispute the charges, so this is why they take it before the service. when i entered the massage area, I realized that you dont get your own room, and your massage bed is not partitioned, so its. shared room with about 10 beds. what ended up happening is that the guy next to me fell asleep and snored very loudly the ENTIRE time of my massage. obviously this prevents any sort of relaxation. so, effectively my massage was ruined. I could not ignore it and it was so so annoying to have to listen to. as far as my masseuse, there were a couple issues there too. first, the entire time he focused on the center section of my foot, he did not touch the toes or the heel. this place advertises itself as reflexology, and the toes are a major part of that. so that was extremely disappointing and I could've really used that part of the foot massage. if youre going to have a one-hour massage focused only on the feet, you have to do the ENTIRE foot, I felt like this is just obvious. however, I couldn't communicate with him at all as he doesnt speak english. second, he used SO much lotion, my feet felt like they were swimming in a swamp during the entire massage. it was horrible, and he couldnt get any real traction because of the insane amount of lotion. finally, at the end I tipped him about 13%, because I felt like he tried his best, however the overall environment there, plus his skills, was lacking. as we walked out, he walked through the door into the lobby and let it close in front of my face rather than holding it open for me. when I entered the lobby, the receptionist asked me how the service was. I told him about the snoring. he did not apologize, but instead said he could discount my service but could I please tip the masseuse more, since that wasn't his fault. then I explained the issue with the masseuse. he sad he would talk to him about it, and didn't end up discounting my service. this is the first time EVER in my entire life i have had someone ask me to tip more. not at any restaurant, bar, salon, spa, etc. has anyone ever said that, because it's common social etiquette that you NEVER ask for more tip, ESPECIALLY when you're told that there's a problem with the experience and/or service. this blew my mind that the masseuse ran to the receptionist right away to complain about his tip. and still no one apologized to me! needless to say, I will never come back!!

We showed up on time, and it was extremely busy. the lady checking us in was on the phone speaking to another customer while filling out out preference sheets and at the end after speaking to my husband, we think she may have accidently given our massues each others preferences because i had to tell my masusse to go lighter and he had to tell his to go harder. we paid 30 dollars for an hour and then 5 extra dollars for my husband to recieve more pressure (that he did not recieve). they guided us to a room that had 4 beds and oddly put us on opposite sides of the room with two empty beds in between us which later had new customers. the room was very stinky and humid. the towels they had us laying on and wiped us down with smelled absolutely terrible. they provided a free foot soak but put your feet in the warm water while you are laying on your back which puts you in an extrememly awkward and uncomfortable position. my husband and i both requested no face or head upon arrival and they still put lotion on our faces which we had to tell them to stop. my masusse hurt my knee so bad and continued to try to rub it after i told him not to. both is us did not recieve the focus massage we requested. we both left feeling worse and stinky than we came in. i will definitely not be oming back, worst massage ever.
