I had a Groupon for two sessions in the floatation tank…read more I've floated before at a different place and it was an okay experience. I was able to book my 1st session on the website and when I got to the facility, the guy at the front desk gave me the rundown on how the tank works and what to do to have a more pleasant experience. I showered before I got into the tank and then stepped into the tank and laid down. They had a device kind of like a floatie that you can put around your head to lift the head which helps to align your neck. This helped tremendously as opposed to my last experience. The last time I floated, I didn't feel relaxed all the way because my head drooped to far into the water. Don't get me wrong, it still floated but...something just wasn't right. One other thing that helped with this experience was the earplugs. They helped to block out the sound as well as keep water out of my ear canals. It was completely silent. Once the lid goes down and the lights go out, you really do feel like you're floating in darkness. I think some people say it's like what people may think it was like to be in the womb. The water in the floatation tank has the salinity to make your entire body float. So you can relax your muscles and body because it's totally supported by the water. Weird, right? The water is also the same temperature as your own body temperature so it's easier to relax and not get cold. After 60 minutes or however long you're booked for the water starts flowing around you and the lights come on to bring you back to the living world...lol. You get out the tank and shower off. Even through all this, I still don't think floatation is for me. Maybe if I did it more often I could learn to really relax in there but I just had a hard time really just letting go. I got bored after 30-45 minutes and got antsy waiting for my time to exhaust. I could have just got out then but I paid for a 60 minute Groupon so I was going to stay in for 60 minutes even if I was just swimming around and doing laps for the last 15 minutes. Haha! Another reason I started to get uncomfortable was that I was getting hot. The water is at or around 98.6 F but my body temperature is usually around 96-97F regularly. I was sweating in the water. I could feel the sweat on my forehead as well. Plus, the salt in the water dehydrates you a little. It would be nice to have some water afterwards. So I suggest bringing a bottle of water. My Groupon was for two floats but I didn't go back. Nothing against the business, I just wasn't feeling it. You might have a different experience though. All you really need is a bathing suit for this experience. The guy at the front desk said that many people float in the nude. They provide everything else, towels, soaps, earplugs, etc.

Float your boat, I mean...your BODY at Chill Therapy…read more I came here on the whim of a friend looking for relaxation. Luckily, Groupon was having a special. So, here I go into a floatation experience at 9am in the morning. I was greeted by Tom who was pleasant and helpful as I frantically roll in 10 mins late. No worries, Tom puts the Chill in Chill Therapy. After I sign my 1st born away for the disclaimers, Im off to float! The rules are explained plain and simple and now into the pod! Yes, a pod of salt of water. When you first get in, the water feels different, almost thicker and softer. The temperature is slightly warm and very comfortable. Once you settle in and and allow yourself to float, now it's time to relax every muscle in your body and release. Releasing and quieting the mind is more challenging than the floating. You think thoughts like, "Is this what it was like with I was in the womb?" After you get over the fetal regression moment, you start to give into the relaxation and almost slip into a light sleep or meditation. It's rather pleasant and restorative. But what if I drown Quin?! Don't worry, the viscosity of the water ensures that you float appropriately and your body stays in place. After an hour of floating, you awaken and began to feel like it's time to move your muscles. Coming back to reality, you start moving and will notice that your muscles and body feels lighter and more fluid. As an added bonus, you feel less stressed and may even notice a better nights rest at the end of the day. . I definitely recommend this as an experience to try. Feedback: I do think the option of a nice guided meditation walk through would be a great experience builder for those who don't mediate at all.

It's a great way to get rid of a stressful week. My tip would be go without the music, turn the lights off, don't forget your earplugs, and bliss out..

Overall, it was a good experience. I booked the appointment as a birthday gift for my boyfriend…read moresince he really enjoyed the float experience in St. Augustine back in February. This time, he was in a more open tub rather than the enclosed pod, which he preferred--it gave him more space and comfort. He said the service was great, but the main downside was the lack of ambience. He missed the relaxing, spa-like atmosphere that made the experience in St. Augustine so memorable. That's really what held this one back a bit. Unfortunately, I haven't found any local spots that offer floats within a full spa setting like they do in St. Augustine. Still, he enjoyed the overall experience.

Listen, Florida Float Spa is rad. I took advantage of their first time float special and made an…read moreonline appointment. I showed up early and chatted a little with the man behind the desk about what to expect. He led me to the float room, instructed me on how to use the equipment, and left me to... well... float. I stripped down and hopped into the float pod and the lights dimmed until they were off. The inside of the float pod has a soft light that lets you see just enough to get yourself situated. When I laid down, the experience was like floating on the most gentle, warmest lake you've ever been on. My ears went under the water, but my face stayed above the water. I could only hear my heart beating, but eventually, that faded away until I was just silent. It took me about 5 minutes before I was brave enough to turn off the pod light. When I did, the darkness freaked me out a little. I turned the light back on, gave it a few more minutes, and tried again. My brain really struggled with having zero senses engaged. It caused me to hear things that weren't there, and to "touch" things that weren't there. Not bad things mind you, just the sensation of touching the side of the tank, or the sound of a bump. After about 20 minutes, all of that faded away and there was just nothing. I just was... The first 25 minutes felt like 25 minutes. The next 35 minutes felt like 5 minutes. All of a sudden, the water in the pod started to cycle and my 60 minutes was up. I went back a few weeks later and tried it again. The first 5 minutes felt like 5 minutes, and the next 55 minutes felt like 5 minutes. It was really weird. Both times I exited the pod feeling that euphoria that you typically feel after having a massage. Your body is rested because it's just been floating in salt water for an hour, and your mind is rested because you turned it off for an hour. It's a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it for anyone.

We opted to get membership which allowed us a free float today. Great for singles or couples. The spa was even large enough to accommodate my 6'4" fiancé who said he fell asleep blissfully!!! We bought their lemongrass and sage body wash as well as delicious peach honey cbd drink afterwards. Definitely an A+ experience!

I rarely write reviews under 4 stars... But my massage session was very sub-par, and I felt…read moredeceived by the Google reviews I saw about this place. I get massages every 2 weeks, and I usually book a massage when I travel, so I've tried many types of massages in various locations across the states and even Japan. I booked my 90 minute deep tissue massage appointment over the phone; very easy process. They sent me some forms to fill out online in advance and confirmed my appointment. Very professional. My masseuse was Ryan, a young gentleman. He arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment; we actually arrived at the door at the same time. As it was a Saturday, the building where the spa is located was locked, so the front desk admin came to open the door for us when I called. We started our massage session a bit early, which was fine by me. I asked him to focus on my shoulders, which he went right to work on - with VERY intense pressure. Yes, I asked for deep pressure, but it was a bit overkill. He was mainly using his elbows to get under my shoulderblades - this is not very common in massages I've had, so I was a little confused. I asked him to decrease the pressure, which he did, but when he moved to the other side, he returned to the original deep pressure. He also used way too much massage oil, to the point where I felt it dripping across my back. I also noticed that his hands were shaking throughout my massage - it could be a medical condition, so I didn't say anything about it. About 10 minutes into my session, I had to ask for my appointment to be shortened to a 60 minute massage. He barely did any leg massage - could be because I had shortened my session, but he massaged my glutes and then my feet. Which all felt wonderful, but not much massaging of the calves and hamstrings. When he massaged my arms, he just kept going in a circular motion, which felt more like a gentle squeeze than a massage... Overall, I felt that the massage was very unexperienced, something I would expect of someone learning to be a masseuse or massage therapist. If you book a massage here, then perhaps be very specific with your expectations.

Pallavi is a bright and relaxing oasis in the heart of the sweaty busy area of Clearwater Beach…read more What separates this spa from the others (1) bright & beachy concept with lots of windows and (2) exceptional staff. I've been to a good number of spas and most are closed off (no windows) to create a certain relaxing atmosphere which is nice for urban areas but while at the beach it is a welcomed sight to be able to see the beautiful blue skies and the white sandy beach from a cool relaxing oasis several floors above the street to keep the space free from traffic noise. My husband and I spent half the day at the spa getting facials, massages and a pedicure for me. My facial technician & pedicurist were amazing! You can have a gorgeous spa but if the technicians & products are average then the spa is only as good as your people & products. My facial technician gave me a lymphatic drainage session while 1 mask was on and an arm & hand massage while another mask was on. I've had more expensive facials that did not include those nice little luxuries. For me, I love that the waiting lounge was co-ed for couples so my husband and I could be together. This spa has a steam room and a couple of showers and that's about it so it is small but given the quality of service and products it is absolutely worth it!
