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.

I booked the Allora Signature package 5 hours of services at over $600 and left feeling like I'd…read morepaid premium prices for a below-average experience. It started at check-in. 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.

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.

Everything was perfect. I booked this place last minute…read morebecause I was having some sciatic nerve pain and a generally rough Monday. It was my first time here. Parking was easy at the apartment complex garage behind it. You're allowed to park on the first floor there and pay $1 per hour. The decor is very modern bohemian and zen. The ocean sounds were perfect for me, since the sea is my happy place. My massage therapist Bronson was very knowledgeable and considerate. He listened to my explanation of problem areas very well and gave me some good advice for how to take care of it at home. I do plan to visit again and add a scalp massage on next time for only $10 more. I left feeling much better than I entered.

We had a great experience at Allora Day spa in downtown Orlando…read more We went for a couples deep tissue massage and it was fantastic. The spa was inviting and filled with warm tones throughout. After we checked in we were offered a glass of wine (of your choice) which was a delightful treat and something you often don't see at a spa. We slipped back to the cozy lounge while we waited for our massage therapist to arrive. We were greeted by Angel and Kiara who lead us to our room. Both of them were fantastic and provided a wonderful deep tissue experience. Each of them knew exactly the right pressure and when to dig in deeper After our massage we were both rejuvenated thanks to Angel and Kiara! I highly recommend them and the Allora Day spa!

I've been going to Allora for several years for massages and they're fantastic!…read more I highly recommend Kiara as her hands are literal magic. My back feels amazing whenever she's done with me. Their membership tiers are very fair and comprehensive. I love that the unused monthly vouchers can be rolled over to the next month and stacked for multiple services. It's also super convenient that there are no contracts and cancellation is easy. Even though they're downtown, parking is nice because, thankfully, they provide validated garage parking; though the spots there are kinda small and can fill up if you go at busy times. I love that they also have multiple locations, so you can go to whichever location is most convenient. If you're looking to treat yourself to a spa day, I cannot recommend Allora enough.

I had a full body massage last Sunday at 5:30pm and a manicure/pedicure Monday night at 6:15pm. Friendly, professional staff and suberb work beyond my expectations... I had thrown my shoulder out and was in extreme pain. On short notice, the owner, Danielle scheduled an experienced massage therapist whose 'work' was far beyond a simple relaxing massage; I am grateful for her expertise. The nail tech was meticulous (and not skimpy with the gel)...my short, short nails are now absolutely perfect. If you live at Azul, there's no need to go anywhere else! If you don't live at Azul, you get a complementary hour to enjoy the beautiful pool. Either way, you'll be impressed.

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.
