The setting is on the beach towards the back of the Hotel and you can hear and smell the sea! It's very relaxing and I actually fell asleep during the massage! She's an absolute magician! She starts by making sure the pressure is to your liking and asks you were your trouble areas are. The rest is history!

A Tale of Two Massages: The Wellness Room Experience in Puerto Vallarta…read more The first time I visited The Wellness Room in Puerto Vallarta, it was a slice of paradise. My boyfriend and I booked massages, and I ended up with the masseur stationed in the front room (I believe his name was Kris). Let me tell you, it was a top-tier experience. The massage itself was exceptional - relaxing, professional, and thoroughly rejuvenating. The place was spotless, and most importantly, there were no uncomfortable moments or unprofessional propositions, a rarity among massage parlors in this particular neighborhood. I floated out of there with a smile so wide you could've used it as a hammock. So impressed were we that we encouraged our friend, a fellow traveler, to give it a shot. He loved it so much he went back for two massages during the trip, both with the same guy. The Wellness Room was riding high in our vacation memories - a little oasis of relaxation. Naturally, we decided to squeeze in one more visit before heading home. And oh, how the mighty fell. On January 7, 2025, at 4 PM, I returned with high hopes and was assigned to the second room. At first, everything seemed fine - standard setup, decent technique - but then the mood shifted. As I lay there, blissfully unaware and teetering on the edge of sleep, the masseur apparently assumed I'd drifted off completely. That's when things got weird. I heard faint movement in the corner of the room where my clothes and bag were stored. Initially, I thought he was fetching more oil (which, for the record, was stored elsewhere). But then I heard the unmistakable zzzzip of my bag being opened. My bag, by the way, contained a gift: a pocketwatch-style metal locket filled with miniature dice for tabletop RPGs. It makes a very distinct rattling sound when moved. A sound I heard loud and clear. At that moment, I began to stir, and the guy bolted like he'd just realized I was rolling a Nat 20 on perception. He left the door wide open in his hurry to make his daring escape. A few moments later, he returned, all casual-like, claiming he wasn't finished massaging my back. Uh, sure, buddy. I let him finish the massage, but any semblance of relaxation was gone. I was on high alert, mentally cataloging every item in my bag. The moment he was done, I checked my belongings. Sure enough, there were greasy handprints on the zipper, evidence of his attempted sleight of hand. What could have been another stellar experience turned into a mix of incredulity, distrust, and lingering disappointment. The Verdict: The Wellness Room is a tale of two extremes. One visit left me glowing with satisfaction, the other left me clutching my belongings like I was Frodo in Mordor. My advice? Stick to the front room masseur - he's a pro and a class act. As for the second room... well, let's just say you might want to invest in a lock for your bag and cast Detect Magic before entering. Would I recommend it? Cautiously, yes. But consider this review your traveler's warning: not all Wellness Room experiences are created equal.

The massage therapist did a great job working through the tightness in my shoulders and back without it feeling rushed or overly aggressive.

The warm rainfall shower over the treatment table while the exfoliation was being done was incredibly relaxing, and my skin felt noticeably smoother afterward. It felt more like a luxury spa experience than just a standard scrub. The spa itself was spotless, modern, and calming.
