I've been a client at Essentials Spa for several years and all my experiences have been positive. More often than not, I receive massages from Marbelis and opt for her husband Carlos when she isn't available. Rhonda is my go to for facials as she's literally one of the BEST local estheticians. She does a superb job and I actually relax enough to fall asleep during her facials. On this particular visit, my go to massage therapists weren't available due to the fact neither work on Sundays. At Rhonda's recommendation, I booked my massage with Stephen (sp?) which turned out to be a solid choice. He did a fantastic job gauging my needs and delivering a deep tissue massage without me needing to remind him about the pressure. Moreover, he was both kind and professional. I wouldn't have any reservations about utilizing him for future massages. Finally, they're offering a variety of Mother's Day specials through the end of the month. I took advantage of the Mom is Queen Bee and I departed buzzing like a champ! 10/10 experience~ read more

I've been coming to this massage spa for over a year, and it used to be one of my favorite places to relax and recover. Unfortunately, over my last five visits, the quality of service has declined significantly, and my most recent experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to leave a review. My girlfriend and I booked a couples massage for 3:00 PM. We arrived early at 2:50 PM, but were left waiting for approximately 20 minutes before our session actually began. Despite the delayed start, the massage still ended at 3:50 PM, meaning we did not receive the full hour of service that we paid for. One of the small touches we always enjoyed after our massages was being able to choose a complimentary beverage. We have consistently chosen the red wine option because it's something we look forward to at the end of our sessions. Unfortunately, even that simple detail was incorrect during this visit. The biggest issue, however, was the massage itself. I always book a deep tissue massage because I work out six days a week and have lingering back issues from playing college football. I rely on deep tissue work for recovery and pain relief. This session felt nothing like a deep tissue massage. Honestly, it felt as though lotion was simply being rubbed onto my skin with very little pressure or therapeutic work being done. I left feeling exactly the same as when I walked in. In fact, I was so unsatisfied that I immediately started calling other massage establishments in the area to see if I could get another appointment that same day because I received virtually no benefit from this session. I am not someone who complains often, and I am usually a very generous tipper when I receive good service. This was one of the few times I have ever left without tipping because I genuinely felt that neither my girlfriend nor I received the experience we paid for. It's disappointing to see how much this place has changed. What was once a reliable and enjoyable experience has become consistently frustrating. Based on my recent experiences, I cannot recommend spending your time or money here. There are better options in the area that will provide the service and value you expect. read more

Brought my mom here for her birthday and it was fantastic. Couldn't beat the price for a 90 min massage. The birthday balloon and sign upon arrival was super thoughtful. Every employee knew we were there for my moms birthday and was extremely kind when checking in/out. My massage was with Lili and it was fantastic! My mom was just with Melissa and enjoyed her massage as well. We will definitely sneak away and go back next time we are in town visiting. read more

Essentials Spa - Birthday Greeting Upon Arrival - Massage Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

I go to Essential Spa for my deep tissue massages. Carlos is beyond amazing. I exercise frequently and need deep tissue work to relieve my muscles and fascia adhesions. Carlos gets the job done and you feel nothing less than phenomenal afterwards. Everything from his technique, expertise and warm personality makes the experience worth coming back again and again. Carlos is the Best!!!!! read more

Great experience time after time here. Much better than the common national chain brand that we see so often. You can tell this is personally owned. The staff is still there as time passes which says a lot too! read more

I had a message with Eddys and it was by far the best message I have ever had! The prices were the best around.

I absolutely love Essentials Spa. It is so affordable and yet, you still get the full spa experience and feel witbout having to purchase a membership. My favorite is Maribelis. She has perfected the Swedish massage. Carrie is wonderful for facials. I love thr vibe, asthetic and options for add-ons. They always offer great holiday specials as well. I honestly hate spilling the secret of this great little place for fear it will become mainstream and I will never get an appointment, but I can't keep it to myself any longer. read more

Essentials Spa - Massage Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Found this spa via yelp, called that afternoon and got an appointment for an hour later for a 90 min massage. You can not beat the price and personally one of the best massages I've had of my life. Came out refreshed and less stress. read more

One of my favorite spas in Palm Beach Gardens. What's the best part about going to Essentials Spa? Well I'd have to say their Spa Day! A 50 minute massage, 50 minute facial and 50 minute foot reflexology all for $150 (with gratuity already included), it's a steal! Plus you get a glass of wine with some cheese and crackers during your reflexology treatment, so how can one complain? My massage therapists have always been phenomenal and I love seeing different styles and techniques each one uses. I always get my facials from Rhonda because she is so attentive to my skin care needs and takes the time to care for my skin. If you're looking for a day of pampering alone or with a friend(s)/mother/daughter/husband/etc, this is a real treat without breaking the bank! Not looking for a full 3 hour time commitment? That's ok to. All the other services are reasonably priced compared to the other spas in the area which can get very pricey $$$. Be sure to check out their website and FB page for all their prices and other specials they run! read more

Saw the sign for a one hour Swedish massage for $40. I walked in and they got me in right away, normally they require an appointment, however I got lucky. Very clean and calming inside the massage room. I had my massage by Marybel and it was great. I would recommend and return read more

Had a cancellation where I had originally booked, locally where we live in Wellington the day before my appointment on Valentines Day. First place I called was Essentials Spa and they were very accommodating on such short notice. We had a couples massage with Jessica and Nicole. I was massaged by Nicole and she did an absolutely fantastic job. I am a big guy and used to pain. And she put all her weight into loosening up my back and shoulders. She earned every penny and then some. My wife had a facial after the massage. Fantastic job. The entrance is simply and unassuming, but clean and nice. Receptionist friendly and to the point. The rooms were nice and clean. Pleasant smell, low lighting as I was a couples massage on Valentines Day. Nice and romantic. Rooms and lounge was decorated very tasteful and romantic. All in all a very enjoyable experience. read more

Lonnie was awesome. Went in with shneck issues (shoulder neck) and she was gentle yet firm. Thank you Lonnie! I'll be back.

Went for a couple's massage with my husband and we both thought it was a great way to celebrate our anniversary. The massage was amazing and made us feel really good and very relaxed. All ready recommending it to friends. Thank you to everyone at Essentials. read more

Went for an Acne facial with Carrie and it was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and gave me some great tips on how to help with the problem areas on my skin. The whole experience was very relaxing and my skins feels great afterwards. Would definitely recommend! read more

I had a facial and a massage for $90 total and both were fantastic! Hubs had a massage and was happy as well. Love this place.

Hidden gem! Was in town for a girls' trip and we were able to book 4 massages at the same time. I got lucky and had an incredible masseuse: Destiny. Do yourself a favor and book a 90 min massage with her. I was so sad when my 50 mim massage was over. She did an phenomenal job and I'm really picky with masseuses. The spa is nice too - good ambiance and vibes. Was surprised given the price point. I can't wait to visit again on my next trip to Florida! read more

Visited this spa for the first time last week for a prenatal massage and it was really nice. The spa is clean and everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. My therapist did a great job. My only complaint would be that there was no pillow provided for your head and I had to put mine on the table for the entire massage. A full body pillow was given to hug since the massage is on your side but mid way through my neck and shoulders began to hurt because there was no support. I suggest the spa provide one for any future clients getting a prenatal massage. read more

This place is amazing. I came for a bachelorette and they were so helpful! They even decorated the room before I got there. Most of us did the spa package and each experience was fantastic. My facial was relaxing and got rid of all the blackheads on my nose. The massage and reflexology was amazing as well. This is the BEST value around. The prices are beyond reasonable. I am going to make this place part of my self-care ritual from now on. read more

What a wonderful little gem. Reasonably priced and amazing service. I got squeezed in today as they are booked solid, for a facial. It was wonderful. My face is glowing. The owner Keith is extremely nice and very accommodating. This is my new spot read more

Amazing service. They were able to book me with short notice. I came in for a spa package and every service was absolutely amazing. Carrie who did my facial went above and beyond. I left feeling happy and relaxed. I am grateful to the entire team here for wonderful service and customer care. I will be a regular and recommend to all my friends read more

This is my 2nd visit here and each time was great. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday. It's clean, very customer friendly and attentive to your needs. Will be back again! read more

I just had the absolute worst facial. The Esthetician clearly had no idea what she was doing. I booked a European facial with a microdermabrasion. The Esthetician not only did not know how to do microdermabrasion, I needed to give her instruction, and she left bruises all down my neck from her lack of skill and knowledge. When it came time for the facial, she cleaned my skin, took about 10 minutes to apply the mask and asked what I wanted massaged. I told her my hands. She massaged my aromas and hands forgetting fingers on both sides. It took her at least 10 minutes to remove the mask and then sent me on my way. No massage, no extractions, no SKILL, period. When I got in my car it was then that I noticed she still left some of the mask on. My skin is much drier than when I came to her in the first place. Chris- the fact it took you 7 days to respond to my complaint after the receptionist emailed you when I left asking you to call me, which you didn't, shows exactly just how important this complaint was to you. Thank you but there is nothing you can do at this point. read more

This place is a gem!! The atmosphere is modern and relaxing. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Jessica is the massage therapist I have been using, and she is phenomenal!! I have been to other "chains" massage places and they do not offer the customer service or massage therapist that you will find here! There prices are reasonable, actually lower than the chains. read more

Fantastic massage, terrific service and very affordable. I need to schedule one of their specialties that include throw back pricing, champagne and chocolate. Can't beat that!! read more

Can't beat the prices! Services are hit or miss depending on the person but I have had some great work done here. Spa is always clean. Very basic but great on the wallet! read more

To be fair, I did go here once and had a great experience. However, today I had the worst experience. We booked a couples massage days in advance, and then 20 min before our appt (while we were in the car half way there) they called to tell me the therapist was running 30 min behind schedule, and our only recourse--if my husband didn't want a male therapist, which he did not--was to shorten our appt 30 min, but still pay the full price. Are you kidding?? To make matters worse, the woman who called was unapologetic and even rude, and said the reason they could only do 30 min was because other customers were booked right after us, and the therapist was booked solid all day long (which is why she was behind in the first place). This place is more interested in trying to jam in customers than actually serve and retain them. They mismanaged their schedule, would not admit their mistake, and then expected us to be the suckers that helped them get back on schedule by accepting half the service but paying full price?! When I asked why we were getting the shortened slot vs. someone else, the answer I got was that "we called others but you were the only one that answered the phone". Unbelievable. I would be embarrassed if this was my business. read more

An amazing morning at the Essential Spa in Palm Beach Gardens. Family of 5 there to celebrate mom's birthday. They were very responsive to answering our many questions and setting up the perfect schedule for us. The balloons and happy birthday sign were the sweetest touch. Massages, Facials and foot massages were amazing! Truly a great experience! read more

This was one of the best deep tissue massages I had in the Palm Beach Gardens area by a young lady named Cocoa The staff was professional and friendly the lounge and rooms was very clean and comfortable I'll defiantly be returning. read more

Been coming here since they first opened. I love this place. Prices are great, staff is great & helpful. Explain how you like your massages and they will pair you with the perfect person, but honestly all of them are good. Coco is great if you like strong massages like myself. I have done facials here & they were also great, so great I fall asleep every time. Also couples massage was very pleasant, romantic and affordable, my boyfriend & I both loved it, it's also served with chocolates & wine at the end. Love love love this place. read more

Great place ...inexpensive relaxed atmosphere, yet excellent service and therapists ...irr was a great great place to work

Hands down best massage place I've found in the area (and equally as great pricing). I've had numerous massages and reflexology sessions at this spa, and never one have I've been disappointed. read more

Was amazing but as of Jan 2018 it's now under new ownership. Kim sold to a guy named Keith. Unfortunately his customer service is unprofessional and his management skills are poor. They no longer provide calls to remind you of your appointment. He makes threats to charge your credit card and doesn't even disclose that he keeps your credit card on file. He makes excuses for untrained staff by saying, "I can't control people when I'm not there." So to expect that he will manage massage therapists in a vulnerable environment is illogical. This place was an amazing, neighborhood gem, but with the new management it is a soulless illicit corporation. Super Sad. read more

Had a couples massage. It was ok my bfs therapist was great but mine had no idea what she was doing!! I wanted to walk away 20 mins into the massage. Wont be coming back. I guess you get what you paid for as someone else commented :( read more

I love coming here. I'm always pleased with the services I get. The two best massage therapists are Grace and Coco. I had one issue about a year ago and the owner was so good at correcting it. I will continue to visit this spa. read more

Best place to get away and de-stress. Most massage places your lucky if you can find a great massage therapist, here I have found almost everyone they book me with I have had a great massage. I do have my favorite therapists that I rebook with but if they are not available I don't really have to worry that who is available won't be as good. Besides massage they offer many great services such as facials, reflexology, salt scrubs, etc. Wonderful spa and quality at affordable prices! read more

Ask for Rhonda if you are visiting for a facial. She's passionate about what she does and is extremely informative and knowledgeable on products and service best suited for your skin type. You will not be disappointed. Always Coco for a deep tissue massage, she is tough and amazing!! read more

Amazing service! The staff is extremely pleasant. I would absolutely recommend this place. I will be back!

Went for a couples massage with my husband it was wonderful! The couples room was clean and nicely decorated. My therapist Ruben gave me the PERFECT massage. I didn't have to tell him one thing he knew all my problem areas, It's like he read my mind lol. After we had wine and snacks in the nicely decorated relaxing room. Prices are very reasonable and the massage was worth every penny and then some. Can't wait to go back! read more

I travel for business and can spend 30-40 hours a week driving, the other 30-40 hours I spend behind a computer. It's a long very long week and I'm always left with a sore neck and sore shoulders. My most frequent commute is into West Palm and instead of feeling sorry for myself because it is 4 1/2 hours in each direction, I book into the Essentials. I have never been disappointed. My booking is usually last minute because I never know if I'll have time. I can't necessarily pick my therapist but feel confident that I'll be pleased with anyone who is available. Always a bargain, so no guilt about spending what I'm making before I even get home. Nora N. read more
