Elle gave me one of the best facials ever. I highly recommend her for any type of facial

Excellent service and affordable. Professional. Something you can actually treat yourself to every month.

I'm actually shocked by how unprofessional this establishment is. My true rating is zero stars. I booked 2 spa packages for my daughter and I because she was visiting for her birthday. I specifically asked for them not to contact her because it was a surprise, but they called and texted her confirmation requests - and for the wrong days no less which ruined the surprise and also caused confusion. Then the day of the appointment, they called her to say they would not be able to do one of the packages. No attempt was made to make it right and they didn't seem concerned that her birthday and our day was ruined. I sat in their cheap lobby for 2 hours so at least my daughter could have her services since we drove 45 minutes to get there. Terrible in every aspect. I wouldn't go there for any services even if they were free due to the level of unprofessionalism they seem to be content with providing. read more

Kim gave an excellent deep tissue massage. She listened and re-evaluate my needs throughout the 90 minutes and only spoke at those times. She has really strong hands but would lighten her touch when asked. She gave good advice for aftercare. Kim and Chatelle are both highly recommended! read more

Rob was equally purposeful and relaxing. Very nice massage, perfect pressure, and smooth transions to different massage areas! Highly recommend! read more

Had a fantastic 90-minute massage today with Mindy. She is dedicated to healing and the art of massage, and it showed in her expert work. She asked me where I wanted her to focus and listened to my requests. I was carrying a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders and Achilles, and she spent a lot of time on those areas and brought me great relief. The spa manager was lovely too. It was a great visit (and the cost was very reasonable). Thank you Mindy and Essentials Massage & Facials! read more

Let me preface this by saying I started out wanting a woman massage therapist. In the past I have had massages from men that felt awkward. So I began my journey with Essentials Spa with two women who have since left the practice. I have had MANY, many massages over the years and I can say without a doubt, Ariel is one of the most talented massage therapists I've been to. His attention to detail to provide THE perfect massage for you is spot on. I have neck and lower back issues. When I leave his table I feel like I am floating, It is *that* good. With Ariel the room is quiet. I can chat it up with the best of them, but let me share - a quiet massage is game changing. The spa is very comfortable. The staff is accommodating and very professional. Making an appointment is a breeze online. I don't live in Sarasota, I visit my mom, so this is a gift I pamper myself with when I am in Florida. Book your appointment today. Don't be afraid of moving to a man. But book soon, Ariel's appointment schedule gets filled up quickly! The picture is from the bathroom. It is one of the most clever signs I've seen. Especially that last line. read more

The deep tissue massage from Areal (not sure I spelled that correctly) was perfect. Amazing. Will be going again.

Wonderful experience! As someone who has had many massages ‍ over the years, I must say at Ariel was incredible. He had great technique, and great pressure. He asked me if I had any areas that I wanted focused on, and I told him that I suffer from Headaches, Migraines, and also neck pain. He really focused in on those areas as well as the whole body experience. It was a great 1hr relaxation massage. I will definitely return.
