Painful massage, pressed hard on my back with towel, heard people talking in hallway and was forced to pay $10 tip which they claim was a part of groupon deal. I feel a tip is optional based on appreciation of service .. Never again read more

WARNING! Do not book with this spa. The prices are not worth what is being offered and they bait and switch with pricing. My wife and I scheduled an appointment for a couple's massage. We had a voucher for a discount price and booked the date/time. On the date of the appointment, we arrived on time and they had given our appointment to another couple. The staff said they could do nothing despite having another Spa 505 located 3 blocks away on the same street. My wife and I showed up at the other Spa 505 and met with Anna who is the same person that had originally booked us over the phone. I asked if they had a couple's massage available to which she said it was available. I then advised her of the situation and the discount voucher she had previously advised me to bring. She explained that the voucher would not be honored and we had to pay the full price which was $40 additional. Very dishonest. read more

Came here with my cousin for a relaxing girls day . I received a great massage . It was so relaxing and she was very nice , at first the woman in the front started massaging me , that also was great ! I really enjoyed the service , I gave a $20 tip for my hour massage . My only complaint was it was so noisy. I really couldn't relax as much as I would have liked , and I wish the products used were a little more skin friendly instead of just baby oil, my skin is already breaking out. Other then that everything is was great ! I really enjoyed my massage from Candy ! She's got great hands ! read more

Horrible way they go about business & won't be back! Last weekend this Asian woman who is the owner came over to the new Spa 505 location in the Marshall's shopping center with 3 additional masseuses for my friends & I & went up on the price from the Groupon special & only gave one massage, not 2 like I had last time! Then after it was done my friends & I tipped the masseuse $5 & the owner had the audacity to ask me to tip her $10 instead bc originally the deep tissue massage is $90 & 20% from that!!.... unprofessional & classless for $45 massage!! read more

I bought a groupon for a massage here and just got home. Upon walking it, this place reminds me of the small spas in the city: little rooms, curtains for doors. The massage was easily in the top 3 I've ever had. Anna was incredibly strong and literally rubbed every muscle in my body into mush. I paid for a 60 min full body (which doesnt include the feet) but was offered to upgrade to a 90 min with 30 minutes on the feet at the end. I was so relaxed, she could've upsold me to buy anything lol. The owner (i think) was there to greet me and make sure everything went well when I was done. I'm looking forward to returning here. read more

Been going here for awhile - started from a Living Social/Groupon deal. Very basic place, but if all you are looking for is a massage, its good. I go for back pain, not so much a spa experience. I called and made an appointment with a specific massage therapist. I had only met her once before, so I assumed the therapist they gave me was her. I realized at some point, it wasn't. I then overheard a therapist in the next room say her name and she was the woman I had made my appointment with. :( During my massage, I asked my therapist her name and it was not who I asked for. There weren't two therapists with the same name. So you can make an appointment with someone specific, but no guarantee you will get who you ask for. Just not a good way to do business. :( read more

Absolutely the Worst Experience Ever! I never even got my massage! They told me that I needed the bar code from Groupon and as I explained it was a gift from my sister in law who was already in a room. But they wouldn't disturb her during her massage....lol...so I called her again and again until she picked up the phone during her "massage " who then to to get redressed and argue with them for the second half hr. Of our girls day out! Whatever else you do NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE! THE ONLY THING YOU'LL NEED AFTER YOUR VISIT IS A SCRIPT FOR VALIUM! read more

Bought a groupon for three sessions and had to pay a $10 tax for the three, which I've never done before. That was the only downside. I've used two of the sessions before, and they were decent. My first massage was the best, but I forgot to get his name. It's not an elaborate space, but there has always been a few clients there when I went. They also have specials - they were listed on the board on the front desk. Bottom line is I'd go back as long as the price is right. read more

I absolutely LOVE this massage center. The people are extremely nice, & work well around my schedule whenever I need it. The atmosphere & calming & they place nice music as compared to some of the other places in Massapequa where you hear people talking etc. It was AMAZING. I have done about 10 massages here & will not be stopping anytime soon! :) read more

Went on a Friday afternoon after work for a 1 hour deep tissue massage. When I went to the front desk, I gave her my Groupon and was told that I had to pay for tax separate ($3). I thought this was odd, as I've never been charged tax for a spa service, unless other places add it into the price. I only had enough cash on me for the tip, so this resulted in my leaving less than I had planned. The room I was shown to was the first one on the left, just next to the reception area. It had a curtain for a door and the walls did not go all the way up to the ceiling. So as I was getting my massage, I could hear noise from outside the room and it distracted me from completely relaxing. I don't remember if there was music playing. As another reviewer mentioned, the massage was done for about 10-15 minutes over a towel. I've never had that done before at any other location. I don't know what the purpose for that was and I didn't care for it. And the face hole was very uncomfortable. Once we got past the towel massage, the rest of the massage was excellent. I have some terrible knots by my shoulder blades and the masseuse really worked to get them out. I was very sore for the next 2-3 days. The woman at the reception desk was very nice. And the masseuse (I think her name was Julie) was very good. Overall I think the massage was worth the Groupon price but I wouldn't pay the full price. I may go back to try cupping or candling. read more

The worst massage I've ever endured. My Massuese obviously confused me for an automobile. I felt like one of those people that accidentally fell into the gorillas enclosure.Avoid this place. read more

First massage was awesome and relaxing even though there were excuses for using the groupon. The second time there was a lot of noise and the owner over charged us. Definitely not going back good spot for a one time massage read more

I found this place with a groupon and im glad i did!! The outside needs some serious updating (dont judge a book by its cover) but once u go inside it looks nice and ann did a fabulous job i highly recommend her !!!! read more

Isn't the fanciest looking on the outside but Really nice staff. My mom and I went for Mother's Day and both said we should go back

There is nothing wrong with the massage my 2 friends and I received. But I have NEVER, EVER been told how much to tip!! There is a hand written sign above the cash register stating you must tip $10.00--in fact, my friend went to put $8 tip on card and was informed it had to be $10.00 by the owner!!! All the massagers were fantastic & it is a shame the owner demanded a $10.00 tip.....that is 40%...a little much.... No one should be told how much to tip...that is a personal decision----in fact, I would have tipped more but I do not like being told how much.....no one goes in restaurant and owners' demand you to tip the server 40%---would be nice..... just informing everyone....??? doubt I will return..............:( read more

Amazing experience to take massage here. I got relieved from back pain like magic happened. Staff is friendly here. Just take care that you make appointment forehand. read more

Gentleman at 505 Spa: No. You cannot come on the same day. You must make an appointment. Me: Ok... Tomorrow? Gentleman at 505 Spa: Tomorrow will be fine. At what time? Me: At what time do you open?

Me: I'm here for a massage. I have a Groupon Woman at 505 Spa: (interrupts) Do you have an appointment? Me: Uhh Y... Woman at 505 Spa: (interrupts AGAIN) No.... Me: Yes I do have an appointment. Woman at 505 Spa: No, you don't. What is your phone number? Me: 718 Woman at 505 Spa: No... Me: 718-598 Woman at 505 Spa: No. There is no number here. You need to make an appointment. Me: (turns to leave) Alrighty! I'll just let Groupon know that you refused to fulfill the Groupon. Woman at 505 Spa: (yells) Excuse me! No! You need an appointment! Me: I made one yesterday. I called and spoke with a gentleman. That's why I came this morning at this time. I didn't drive all the way here for no reason! (I then leave) read more

I couldn't believe the experience I had here. I called after I found a deal on LIvingSocial. The deal was for a $60 deep tissue massage but there was a limited time additional 8 dollars off on the site. I called before purchasing to see if they could take me and my mother later that day and mentioned the deal. Anne said that I could pay the Livingsocial price at the location at the time of my appointment. My mother and I drove an hour to get there and when I got there the woman at the front desk had no idea what LIvingsocial deal I was talking about and so I showed her. She proceeds to call Anne at the other store location down the street who says the deal is for $60 even though I'm showing her the special offer. The woman tells me the prices are higher at this new location because of the grand opening and I have the option to go to the other location, to which Anne who is still on the phone says "no I don't want them here." So I agree to pay the $60 despite having the option to purchase the deal on my phone. After I agree to $60, she says "its $60 if I pay with cash." Which made absolutely no sense. So my mother and I decided to leave, at which point she says "you can pay with card if you show me that you have cash for gratuity." I could not believe it. This was the grand opening and this is how they treated customers. read more

It is not a spa. The room bordered on claustrophobic. A dixie cup of water after; really! The massage was acceptable . I was also told I couldn't book the day of( which is not mentioned on the groupon). After i tipped I was told that I did not give the recommended tip( which is leo not posted). I understand this was my option, but felt awkward.I would NOT recommend it. read more

The massage was actually better then some of the other local places around here. SHE stepped on my back after I told her it was hurting very badly, and it wasn't one of those weak massages it was decent. I noticed prices of Asian massages have gone up in terms last few years, so 60 isn't that bad. She was very good with her hands, they all are but she made it seem like I was her first person of the day so to speak and it was 5pm. read more

I don't even know where to begin, they're amazing. My husband and I had a couples massage there last night they were to die for. The initial greet to when we left the staff were very welcoming. The owner Ji, hands down to you. I couldn't thank you enough for what you did to make our night a memorable one. Our anniversary night was special. My husband loved the hot stone, we'll definitely be back again. Thanks to everyone at spa 505 read more

Kelly was amazing! I went for a Groupon but had the best massage I ever had. Recommend her service for deep tissue massage! The set up of the parlor is a little strange, but the massage is worth it. I will be going back. read more

After reading previous reviews about this business I was apprehensive about redeeming a groupon gift for massages. I had no trouble making an appointment. When I arrived the young lady at the desk was very welcoming and helpful, they redeemed my groupon with no problems or extra fees requested. While not a fancy spa the facility was clean and restful. My massage was relaxing. The gentleman who did my massage was careful to listen to my requests of problem areas. read more

I am so disappointed right now. This is the first review I've ever left and that is because i feel it is necessary to expose this place. I booked a couples massage and wound up having to reschedule it. I could not get a person on the phone that could communicate with me. I have no problem with people whi speak a different language but if you are running a business you need to be able to understand your customers needs. I have run a dj business for 20 years so i understand the needs of a customer. I originally called and booked a couples massage for a saturday at 2:30pm. Due to my dj business, i had to reschedule. It took me 3 phone calls to reschedule. I rescheduled for the following Saturday at 11am. The original Saturday at 2:35pm i get a call that i missed my appointment. I explained to someone who barely spoke English that i did not miss my appointment and that i had rescheduled to the following Saturday at 11am. He told me that the front desk would call me back in an hour. 3 hours later i finally get a call back. They now tell me that 11am is not available. So i ask for 12pm. They say that is fine. The evening of the massage my girlfriend had a Bachelorette party to go to so that's why i wanted 11am. So, we arrive at 11:55. When we first walk in they tell me Groupon doesn't charge tax so i have to give then $7. That was fine. Then they ask for my phone number which is apparently how they keep track of appointments. Then they scan my groupon which redeems it. Then they take us in the back and stop to put my girlfriend in a single room. Not a couples room. So back to the front desk we go bc that is not what i wanted. The woman argues with me. A man who i believe was the owner had to push this woman out of the room to stop her from arguing with me. He then tells me that it was for 11am. I tell him they told me 11am was not available. He says the past is the past and the couples room is not available right now and nothing else today. I tell him i understand that but that's not what i paid for. At this point i just want my money back. I ask for my $7 back and then he tells me i have to call Groupon for my money back. Now i am waiting for a refund. So, i did not get my massage and desperately needed it. I feel they were unprofessional enough that i needed to write my first Yelp review. Maybe if they had made the appointment correctly this could have been my first review and been a positive one. read more

Purchased a Groupon for this spa.I made an appointment earlier this morning for 6:30 this evening. I wasn't told same day appointments wasn't an option when I made appointment but after driving all the way out there I was told I have to either pay her $45 for a massage today or come back the next day. I was already there and none of the workers had customers and she still refused to service me. I called Groupon while I was there and immediately requested and received a refund.At this point I knew I wouldn't even be comfortable with anyone at this establishment touching me.She was in complete bitch mode and had no consideration as to how far I traveled.Never again! read more

This place is honestly amazing. I read the reviews for this place before I came but the reviews are totally wrong. The workers are very nice, they give a amazing massage, the place is extremely sanitary. Don't listen to the other reviews saying this place is bad , because it's not. I would definitely come back :) read more

Made an appointment for my bfs birthday. Spoke to Ann 2x on the phone because i had read all the previous reviews and I wanted to make sure that we would be taken on time, be in the same room, and the price to be paid by credit card wouldn't change upon arrival. Strike 1: we got there and the lady helping us SCREAMED the price out. This massage is a gift and i don't want the person on the receiving end to know how much I'm paying. Totally unprofessional. She didn't even ask "would you like to pay now" she just screamed it out and caught me totally off guard. Strike 2: I handed my credit card, as planned. The lady didn't know how to work it so Ann came out. Of course she waits until NOW to inform me that there's an extra charge for credit cards. She was very rude and had ZERO customer service skills. I decided that i didn't want to make this horrendous experience anymore awkward, so I reluctantly paid the extra money. Strike 3: The ambiance is just terrible. The place looks cheap and tacky and throughout the WHOLE massage you could hear people outside the room talking and a doorbell sound going on and off. As if i wasn't already stressed from my unpleasant encounter with Ann, these background noises were startling and made the experience all the less relaxing. As for the massages themselves: they were fine. Not the best; not the worst. Would I go back? Hell no. read more

Do not recommend at all. The place in unsanitary and sketchy. I walked out before I even got my massage. Go somewhere else.

I've been getting massages monthly for about 11 years now. I've spent the last 6 years at a variety of Massage Envy locations around long island and a couple during my year in florida. I've had in-home and on-site massages. I've been massaged on cruise ships, in hotels, and in physical therapy. Spa 505 is hands-down my worst experience(s) ever. The place looks like a dump inside and out. I tried not to let that impact me too much as it wouldnt be the first time ive discovered a diamond in the rough. In this case, it was perfectly representative of the business. I won't go into detail. Just take a look for yourself. From construction to decor, everything is under-sized, worn, and cheap. I was charged $10.50 tax on my three Groupon massages. Never had tax collected from me on a Groupon purchase. I presented a Credit Card and was told "cash is better". The whole thing seemed really shady. I paid cash and was offered no receipt. The cash was tucked into what looked like a cigar box. No register. I was also told that Groupon sessions cannot be booked "next-day". The woman at the counter said they need more notice and I could not book on friday, saturday, or sunday. The first masseuse was not much better than having a friend rub your back a bit. To her credit, she used a good amount of pressure. Not too hard, not too soft. Unfortunately, she seemed to have no concept of bio-mechanics or structure and was just rubbing. So i tried another individual the following visit and she was absolutely terrible. I would quite literally not be surprised if I was told this was her first week providing massage. For my third visit i re-scheduled the woman from my first visit, a week in advance. Upon showing up, the owner, Jim Wang, told me he had given away my appointment to a walk-in who he just assumed was me because they showed up at my time slot. No apology or anything. I complained, asked for my money back on the last unused session, to which he flatly replied, "no". I just walked out. He was obviously not going to offer me anything. Not even an apology. The entire experience has been so poor, I am not even going back for my last groupon session. I hate leaving money on the table but it's not worth subjecting myself to this place again. I cannot imagine they will make it in business another year anyway. read more

I purchased a groupon for a couples massage here. The groupon stated that it could be used any day. However, when I booked the appointment I was told that they would charge me a ADDITIONAL $86 for an appointment on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. So I just booked an appointment for during the week. I arrived on time, but was told that my boyfriend and I had to get massages in separate rooms because they used the only "couples massage room" on other people and it would not be ready for two hours. What was the point in making an appointment then?? Owner and other people were very nice, but I'm still sore from the massage two days later and I'm still annoyed about the appointment issues. read more

How can they actually call it a spa? I would have given it a 0 star. Place is an absolute dump, and they're not licenced massage therapist, they use bed sheets for doors, bathroom is filthy! Not worth any kind of money, spend a couple of extra bucks and go to a real spa facility. read more

This place is not glamorous but boy do they know how to do a trigger point and deep tissue massage! I asked for a hard massage the male therapist was incredible. No pain, no game! They are trying to advertise for free on groupon by having customers book directly through them. It's a little unprofessional. read more

So I went here for Mother's Day and had a groupon for my massage. Sophia worked on my body and did an awesome job!! I would recommend her!! I also did a facial which was 65 but for Mother's Day deducted $10 so that was a nice present! Small place but worth the money. read more

Place is great, the people are nice and the massage felt amazing. I was able to make an appointment on short notice which is good Bc I was experiencing bad back pain. read more

After my second couples massage here I have changed my review to 5 stars. I was skeptical the first time, however, this place may seem unnoticeable but the service is excellent. The room has dim lighting and calming music to make you feel relaxed and with full length body towels covering you on the massage table you are never exposed. I was very comfortable and every knot in my back is gone after 60 minutes. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Wish I could give a negative star to this poor excuse of a business. My husband got me a groupon for an hour massage for me for my birthday. He then decided to get one for himself so we could enjoy the day together. Walked through the door was greeted by a cold, unwelcoming voice. Asks me if I have an appointment right away, no Hi, "how are you", no "welcome". Tell the person we do. She directs us to the other person up at the front. They loudly speak in another language ignoring us for a solid 2-3 minutes. The desk woman starts to look at me, begins to point to my stomach and ask me if I am okay. I'm really not sure what is happening, but she is literally POINTING at my stomach and saying"your stomach... You OK???You pregnant?" And I am NOT pregnant. I got so livid I stormed out the door. I am suffering with major mental illness that has made me gain weight rapidly, and I had recently just lost 45 lbs!! That is no way to conduct a business at all, completely unprofessional and appalling. Have your customers fill out a form when it comes to personal questions instead of POINTING at them and asking. I was mortified, upset, and extremely angry. To come into a place to relax and leave more tense and upset than I got there is just honestly horrible. Save your money and stay far away from this place. Horrible. About to call groupon and complain about them too. read more

The manager was very rude. I attempted to use my groupon and was told that they do not accept same day appointments with groupons. She wanted me to pay cash then make a second appointment using the groupon! I will not be making any appointments at this place. Not sure why I have to give one star for this review on Yelp?? read more

Today, August 20th, is my one year anniversary with my girlfriend. In anticipation of this big day, she booked us an appointment at spa 505 for a couple's session on groupon. So imagine our surprise when we arrived to be told that our reservation was booked for August 19th. Not only did the person at the front tell my girlfriend that it was her fault, that she had requested the wrong day, but she rudely informed us that she would not honor a coupon on a "day of appointment". This was not a walk in, this was scheduled and mishandled entirely on their end. They mess up our appointment and expect us to pay more because of that? Will not be getting our business going forward, and they should seriously reconsider their policies. Negative stars. read more

WARNING ... Let me start with as soon as i got there they werent happy that i had a groupon. I had a pocketbook with me that had a Bose over the ears headset with an ipod attached . The hour massage was good but in the long run cost me $600 bucks because when i got home i realized my headset and ipod where gone from my bag. All a planned scheme since i was the last appointment i had to wait till morning to call, in which of course they had no idea where it was . I did call the cops the next day to meet me there to file a report. Knowing i will never see my headset or ipod again this is a warning to future or current customers. BE AWARE! read more

Terrible Experience! Try to avoid this place as much as you can. As soon as you show up, they will charge a "tax" fee. They weren't satisfied with our tip amount, so the ENTIRE spa literally followed us to the car and wouldn't let us leave until we gave more tip!! I have never heard of such a thing in my whole entire life in the USA. Never going back here again, it was traumatizing! read more
