This review is long overdue! Fantastic spa day at Allora Day Spa! Sibil, Kels and Jerry were…read moreoutstanding. Manager Stephanie was also pleasant and welcoming. I booked the Allora Signature package and spent the entire day relaxing and enjoying every service. Next time in town, I will definitely book another Allora spa day. The only change that would have made my experience better is if I did not have to leave the room. Between services, you exit the room and sit in a chair located in a small hallway until the next service. It would've been better and more relaxing, as the client, to stay in the room for all services. Understandably, the spa is small and they do their best to ensure comfort despite the necessary merry go round. This is NOT a deterrent from returning by any means but it did catch me off guard. Gratuity is added and given to an each team member. My appointment was scheduled over the phone which allowed me to customize a service included in the package. A deposit is required at booking and the remaining balance after appointment.

They ask you to arrive 20 minutes early, but there's no reason to: no tour, no walkthrough of the services, no robe, no changing room offered, no one even pointed out the restroom. I was handed a drink and told to "go down the hall, take a right" to the tea room. No escort at a supposed luxury spa. My 90-minute massage started 5 minutes late and ended 13 minutes early. I paid for 90 minutes and received 72. Back in the tea room, another guest's child was playing in the candy, the fountain, and the drinking water while I waited another 10 minutes past my scheduled time. The facial was not the anti-aging facial described just basic rubbing and dermaplaning, delivered after I could hear staff gossiping in the lobby. The "hand and foot treatment" was a dry rub with exfoliation gloves before strapping on lotion-filled gloves and booties. The scalp massage was so perfunctory I asked the technician to stop and end the service early. It felt like they were padding out the clock to make up for time shaved off everything else. Think Massage Envy at triple+ the price. If you're considering the top-tier package here, don't. There is nothing signature or luxury about it.

Boy did it! The next day I felt great. We got sports massages which really worked our muscles. It hurt so good while I was getting it and I feel fine the next day.

Due to COVID, you can no longer dip your whole hand in the wax...pouring some wax into a bag just didn't have the same effect and failed to cover the whole hand. Spa seemed very clean and well run. I'll go back in the future.

A relaxed, no fuss, welcoming vibe was set from the moment we walked in the door. My husband and I had a 90 minute massage. Our massage therapists were Eugene and Hector.

My husband is a big guy and usually feels like his massages are never intense enough but Eugene showed him how it's done. He said it was magic.

You can valet at the front, and as long as you have your ticket validated, parking is complimentary, which is a nice perk. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming. We were greeted right away and offered a quick tour of the facilities (optional, but I'd recommend it), then taken to the locker rooms where everything was set up for us, lockers, robes, and spa shoes. The amenities are honestly next-level. They had everything you could think of: q-tips, combs, brushes, hair dryers, hairspray, shower steamers, sugar scrubs, you name it. There was also a lounge area stocked with water and light snacks, which made it easy to relax before and after services. I booked a 50-minute relaxation massage with Shelly, and she was amazing. She made me feel completely comfortable from the start, and the experience felt very personalized. Before beginning, they have you smell two different aromatherapy oils to see what your body needs, which was such a thoughtful touch. The massage itself was incredible, I would absolutely book with her again. Afterward, we spent time enjoying the rest of the amenities, especially the pool. The pool area is beautiful, with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The staff really goes above and beyond, they set you up with a covered chair and even drape a towel to create a pillow for you. The pool temperature was perfect, and having servers walking around to take food and drink orders made it feel even more luxurious. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. Between the beautiful facilities, attentive staff, and little details that make everything feel elevated, I would definitely come back again.

I requested a deep tissue massage and Matthew took the time to understand my specific needs and where I sought improvements. Beyond his empathy and amazing technique, Matthew was highly focused on identifying the source of my leg pain (I'm a runner). His experience as a sport massage therapist for the Orlando City soccer team made me feel confident he could help me. Although my 50-minute massage ended at the spa, Matthew followed up with a sample of CBD cream and provided me with a muscle massage gun to use during my stay. And to top that, he made a connection with the sport massage therapist for Sporting Kansas City (the soccer team in Kansas City) to help me find a great sports therapist at home. This is a great example of an individual who went above and beyond. Matthew truly exceeded my expectations.

The massage bed was arguably the nicest one I've ever experienced.

The sound therapy and head techniques were incredible, and I left feeling calmer than I have in ages. My hair stayed soft and smelled amazing for days. The spa is spotless, private, beautifully lit, and has a peaceful Eastern‑influenced vibe. They even store your shoes in a cubby when you arrive. Highly recommend -- amazing value and a truly unique experience. That said, here's the one thing that knocked it down a star for me: the payment process for gifts is tricky-if you're planning to surprise someone, make sure you clarify the payment setup ahead of time -- otherwise the person you're trying to treat might end up stuck with the bill if you're not physically there to pay.

I'm really disappointed with my experience today. I scheduled this appointment expecting to see…read moreMika, but no one told me she wasn't available until I was already changed into my bath robe and ready for the session. I had to ask if Mika was coming, and that's when I was told she was fully booked and busy. If I had known that beforehand, I would not have stayed. I live three hours away and specifically came expecting to have my appointment with Mika. During the service, water also got into my ear and I'm still trying to get it out, which has been very uncomfortable. My first visit here was a great experience, which is why several of my family members also come here now. Unfortunately, today's visit was very disappointing and I honestly couldn't wait for the session to be over. Just wanted to mention that the owner told me Mika had a family emergency and had to leave early, but that was not was the therapist said to me beforehand. I will say I'm glad my hubby was able to get Eva, since she was the other person we originally requested. They offered me a complimentary service with Mika for next visit, but honestly it is not worth the stress or the drive after what I went through. Lesson learned. On top of everything, we still tipped well.

The experience itself was a complete dream. I melted into serenity from the moment she began. Along with the head spa service, she incorporated a relaxing neck and hand massage that tied everything together beautifully. Cristina joked that I wouldn't want to wash my hair for a week, and honestly... I see exactly what she meant. My hair flowed beautifully for days. The entire service felt luxurious, thoughtful, and genuinely restorative. I unlocked a new favorite. I can't wait to go back - and plan to soon.

I am struggling to find anything appreciative to say about this business. I have no words. I…read moregenuinely avoid leaving a negative review for any business, especially local businesses, but this particular experience at Pure Massage Spa left far too much to be desired. What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend experience was turned into a painful one. We booked a 90 minutes customized massage for me and a 30 minutes chair massage+ 30 minutes foot reflexology massage for my husband. The lady who provided the massage services for me didn't even ask which type of massage I would prefer. Their website says one can choose from Deep Tissue, Swedish, Sport, Therapeutic Massage or combination for the customized massage option. She did whatever she wanted to. She was rough, pretty hard handed and I had to request her to reduce hand pressure several times during the session. At one point during the session, my sinuses got so badly congested that I could barely breathe. I needed relief from a nagging pain in my neck and shoulders and the massage not only did nothing to help my condition, it further aggravated the pain for me. The only saving grace was that she helped me stretch my back and limbs but her method was extremely painful in the moment. I was sore and definitely not relaxed after the massage. My husband had another weird and painful experience with his sessions. They literally brought out a massage chair to the tiny reception area and wanted to start his session right there! This was unexpected as when we spoke with the lady at the reception over the phone earlier, we were told that since he's opted for the chair/seated massage, he will be in a different room than mine. What we weren't told was that the 'other room' is going to be the reception area! Anyway, my husband requested privacy and they ushered him into one of the rooms but couldn't fit the massage chair in there. What baffles me is that why would a business try to provide a service that they don't even have enough space for? Since they couldn't fit the chair in said room, he was asked to lay sideways on the massage bed. The guy who provided the massage service for him apparently just kept poking and nudging him hard throughout the 30 minute duration till my husband had had enough of the painful experience and asked him to stop. He said that the foot reflexology session was the only good experience he had. All in all, the massage experience at Pure Massage Spa was far less than desired for both of us. Never going back.
