5-star update for my go-to selfcare activity! I've been coming to Heavenly regularly for the last…read morefew years. It's such a hidden gem located just off Lake Eola downtown. I love the that I can call last minute and always get an appointment within a few hours (at least during the week). Most of the time I go with whatever therapist is available, but after my last visit, I now have a new favorite that I'll be requesting everytime -- shoutout to Rosie! I like firm pressure and therapeutic massages that actually feel like more than just oil being rubbed on my body. I was so impressed by Rosie's technique and it was one of the best foot massages I've had in awhile. It's important to mention that the 1-hr experience is more than just a foot massage. It starts off with a foot soak, aromatherapy, and neck/shoulder/scalp/arm/hand massage before even beginning the feet. After the main foot massage, it ends with a hot stone massage on your feet and lower legs followed by hot towels & exfoliation to remove all the excess oil. For $75, this really is one of the best values I've experienced. It's a dimly lit open room concept with about 14 loungers (not private), but it's always very quiet and relaxing. If you're visiting with one other person, you can request a private room when you arrive and they'll accommodate you if it's available. They now also offer full body massages in their private rooms that you can book.

My mom and I stopped in on a whim, and now we're both wishing we had discovered this place so much sooner--and that we had booked more time! Soraya was absolutely incredible. She was attentive, skilled, and made the entire experience so relaxing from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean, calm, and very professional, which made it easy to fully unwind. If you're looking for a place to truly relax and get an amazing massage, this is it. We'll definitely be coming back!

I wasn't sure what to expect but if you're a fan of head-rubs, this is your jam!! My scalp and hair felt so clean and soft and smelled great! I really enjoyed the facial too. It was a calm, relaxing experience. My only very minor critique is the plastic head base. After a bit it starts to feel very hard. Might be nice to add some kind of padding, at least during the facial portion. Otherwise, it makes an awesome gift idea. I'm glad I was fortunate enough to have the experience.

I never usually get a guy and tend to go to the females for massage, but I said let's just give it a try. There was more kneading on the back massage. It didn't feel good, not because of the pressure but because it truly didn't feel like I got a massage after that, I felt like I've had better massages at other places. It seemed like I got a pressure point and basically staying at the same pressure point for 2 minutes at a time and I'm like hello where is the back rub part... My partner got hot stone on his back but I didn't. I also didn't get the best foot rub. If anything I'm going to get another massage somewhere else later today. I feel like their reviews didn't live up to their expectations. We tipped $20 each person but really I don't think it was all that great.

My husband and I booked a couples massage here, and while the massage itself was perfectly fine, I…read morerealized this style of spa just isn't for me. I've been fortunate enough to visit a few destination and resort spas over the years, so I've come to associate a massage with the entire experience--the atmosphere, the amenities, the sense of escaping for a couple of hours. Essentials is much more of a straightforward wellness clinic than a luxury spa, and that's something I wish I had better understood before booking. The space is clean and the staff were professional, but the environment felt more functional than relaxing. For me, it didn't create that "leave the world behind" feeling that I'm looking for when I spend money on a self-care day. If your priority is simply getting a massage from a convenient neighborhood location, this may be a good fit. If you're hoping for a more indulgent, high-end spa experience with an upscale ambiance, you may want to look elsewhere. Neither approach is wrong, it just depends on what kind of experience you're after.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Peaceful Day Spa and Alicia!…read more I went in with an extremely tight back and knots everywhere. Since moving to Florida, I've tried several different spas in search of a really good massage, but unfortunately, I always left feeling like I needed another massage because I didn't feel much better afterward. Then I found Peaceful Day Spa, and I'm SO happy I did! Alicia is truly amazing. Her massage technique is incredible, and she was able to work out so much of the tension and tightness in my back. I could genuinely feel the difference afterward, which is exactly what I had been looking for. I've been to many high-end spas over the years, and I can honestly say this experience was right up there with the best of them. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, and the quality of the massage was exceptional. I can't wait to come back for my next massage. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience! I'll definitely be back!

She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all of our questions throughout our visit. The customer service was truly outstanding, and her professionalism made a lasting impression. Aside from the customer service the front of house needs to be repainted and parts of the interior walls need to be completed throughout the establishment. That's a quick fix for management to hopefully fix sooner than later. However, it didn't affect the customer service we had; esthetically just unpleasant when you first walk in. We will definitely be returning and look forward to visiting again. Thank you, Angel, for making our first experience such a memorable one!
