Being a parent means you neglect your body wellness longer than you really should. I knew very…read morewell that my husband and I were long overdue for a couples massage, and couldn't think of a better place to have a memorable experience than at the infamous Sagamore Resort, at their Opal Spa. My husband's family has only ever spoken about the Sagamore and we would be the very first to venture and visit! Excitement all around! We booked for a 1:30PM appointment, clearly stating each of our needs (my throbbing shoulders and my husband's plantar issues) prior to our visit. It was $180 per person, and knew the splurge would be well worth it! Upon entering the Sagamore, parking is free if you are visiting the spa, so we opted to valet for convenience. We were greeted at the counter warmly by the staff, and we were taken into the women and mens lounges to enjoy the complementary sauna and steam rooms prior to our service, if we wanted, or to enjoy after (which was what we did). I decided to hang our in the lounge since I had only a few minutes to my massage, and enjoyed my plush white robe, and had some cucumber water and some dried fruit to nibble on so my stomach wouldn't growl during the massage. We had Hendrick and Michael as our therapists, and within 5 minutes of my massage, Hendrick cracked my back to re-align it! My husband and I laughed and I sunk deeper into the massage table. Beautifully serene atmosphere and great attention to detail from beginning to end. My shoulder pain - GONE; my husband's plantar pain - GONE. This massage didn't hurt like so many I'd experienced over the years. This massage was skilled, and filled with intent to apply the right pressure for deep tissue without the unnecessary pain to follow. To top the experience with the cherry, when we left, we got to see the Mohican steamboat toot a salute to the Sagamore. It was amazing to see the steamboat from the Sagamore versus being on the Mohican. I hope I established a new spa tradition for my husband and I!

First let me start by saying my aromatherapy massage was awful. the massage itself consisted of…read moredifferent oils being placed on your body. massage didn't exist. Then I was supposed to have a hot oil treatment which was never done. At the end I told the front desk and they said they had no time to do it but I can sit in the salt room. The smell was so bad I had to leave. I asked the woman who worked there why such an awful smell. I asked if it was from the salt and she said the smell was coming from something else but never said what. Last but not least at the end of the treatments they told you what products they used on you and if you want to purchase. I purchased face cream, face scrub and face wash. The face scrub never made it in my bag. I called and they said they checked the security camera and it shows it made it in someone's bag but certainly not mine. I spent $900.00 dollars between myself and grandaughter and for $58.00 they made it seem like I wanted the face scrub for free. Poor management on Nicole's side. Never again Mr. Gay who is the senior Management should look into this. Keep your cream but I will not be going back again. We were a party of 12.

I'll be honest with you, I'm not a big "spa" guy. However, I am a big "making my wife happy" guy,…read moreand she wanted to get a massage and bathe in the famed Saratoga Springs mineral water, so here we were. When I called in (booking online was very difficult) to make the appointments, they didn't have exactly what we were looking for available. They told me what was available, and we went with it: Sauna, mineral bath, and a massage for my wife. Sauna, and a cold plunge for me. Based on the few appointments available, I was expecting the spa to be busy when we arrived. It was actually completely deserted. I saw one other guy the entire time I was there. We got changed in our respective locker rooms, put on the nice robes and sandals, and went to the Relaxation Room to wait. The nice woman who checked us in told me that when my wife got taken for her bath, I should go to the sauna. So I did. I was in the sauna for about 10 minutes when it seemed markedly less hot. Because it was off. I had to get out of the sauna, put on some clothes, find an employee (not as easy as it sounds), and ask them to find someone who can turn the sauna back on. It runs on a timer, but they didn't think to check it would be on during the session for one of their two guests that morning? Seeing as how the sauna was half of my (not cheap) entire experience, this was a little off-putting. After we figured the sauna issue out, I was grabbed by my bath attendant. He led me to a room where it was clear that I had a hot bath waiting. I asked if the cold plunge would be afterward, he said there was no cold plunge but I could turn the bath colder if I'd like. I wasn't sure if I made a mistake, so I just went with it and hopped in the hot bath. About 10 minutes after I got in the bath, he came back and told me there was a mistake, and he had a cold plunge ready for me. So I got out of the bath, and followed him to a different room, and hopped in the cold plunge. Which was very nice. However, the runaround was also a little off-putting, and not the relaxing morning I was hoping for. All in all, the mineral baths are very cool. The water is unique and amazing and I'm glad we did it. For what it's worth, my wife said it was one of the best massages she's ever gotten. However, my experience was disorganized, and the facilities are a bit outdated. Beware: If you wear clothing into the bath, the mineral water will stain it. It would've been nice to have been warned about that beforehand.

Crystal stressed that each facial is customized to the customer's needs. For every step we took in the process, she made sure to explain the ingredients and what it'll do to my face. Not only was it a great facial, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure that you're taking care of your skin properly. She was kindly shared tips on nutrition, skincare routine and what products to avoid, to use, etc. I'm new to the area and she also was quick to recommend restaurants, things to do, etc. Overall, she's just an enjoyable person to be around and chat with. After I left, I immediately told all of my girlfriends this is THE place to go for a facial in Saratoga as none of them have found places that they like here. This is also at a great location right off of Broadway. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. The entire set up was thoroughly cleaned and smelled of lavender (my fave).

But don't be weary, the seclusion is like a well kept secret. Sort of an invite only establishment, lol!! Everything about FACES from the moment I walked in made me feel comfortable that my skin was in good hands. Lastly, during my appointment from consultation to treatment, each step felt effortless.
