I love a good resort spa massage on vacation, but even the nicest of spas can't compare to this. I've been a regular here for almost 8 years, and the Swedish/thai combo is my go-to. Nikki has a way of listening to what your body needs without you even having to say anything. She reacts and adjusts based on what she observes. I always leave feeling stretched and relaxed. And one of my favorite parts of the experience is sitting quietly with the tea & crackers they serve at the end. It's a great way to ease back into the day after a relaxing session. I love the new location, it's clean, calm and peaceful. Even with the airport nearby, I never hear any outside noise.

UPDATE after the business's response: The morning after this massage, I woke up with excruciating…read morepain in my lower back, in the exact area where the therapist repeatedly applied hard pressure despite my telling her multiple times that I did not want her touching there. This also makes the business's emphasis on their "first 15 minutes" policy especially frustrating. I have been a customer for more than six years and had never had an experience like this. I was trying to give a therapist I had never seen before a fair opportunity to adjust after I gave her feedback, not watching the clock to make sure I exited before an arbitrary cutoff. I repeatedly communicated that the pressure was painful and asked her to adjust. My original complaint was not simply that I wanted a refund after finishing a massage I disliked. It was about a very poor experience despite my attempts to communicate, followed by a dismissive response when I brought it to the front desk. Their public response is considerably more apologetic than the response I actually received in person, but unfortunately the emphasis on what I should have done within the first 15 minutes only reinforces my disappointment with how this was handled. Apparently, my attempt to be patient and give the therapist a chance is now being used to suggest that I chose to accept the experience. Beware.

After checking out their website, I felt their pricing was almost too good to be true so was a little skeptical at first. However, after checking out their reviews online, and seeing such positive comments, I decided to give it a go. I usually only do 90 minute massages. One hour is never long enough to thoroughly go through the whole body while paying special attention to certain areas of discomfort or pain. I have had different masseuses each visit and all have been wonderful! I do suggest letting the gorgeous lady at the front - she may be the owner but I am not sure - know what you need as not all of the therapists speak fluent English. I usually get matched with women therapists however, I did have a male the time before last. He did such a wonderful job and I felt 100% comfortable with him. I have some hip issues that had been bothering me for a while. He was able to respectfully and professionally get into that area and try to work the tightness out. Then he proceeded to give me a good, long stretch. I walked out of there with no pain. The rooms are clean, place is quiet, and tables are comfortable. I have never been shorted on time either. If we start a few minutes late they still honor the full session. The only bummer is they are not open on Sundays. They do take walk-ins but I would call ahead just in case. I have only had great experiences here. I would highly recommend stopping by. Their staff and services are very professional and prices are extremely affordable. Since they charge a bit less than I'm used to paying, I usually leave a $40 tip on a 90 minute massage. Well worth it! I will continue coming here when I am in town.

Stay AWAY from this place at all cost! After leaving a 20% tip I was pressed verbally in the hallway by the therapist that the tip wasn't enough and I felt so uncomfortable that I ended up giving her another 20$. Needless to say, I would never EVER for one second consider coming back to this place. I was so happy with the service until that situation happened, I would of likely been a recurring every other week customer and now they will never see me again. read more

However, shortly before the massage started, I realized that my boyfriend was being massaged by the woman, while I was being massaged by an older man who had been at the front desk. I was never informed beforehand that I would be receiving a massage from a male therapist, nor was I asked whether I was comfortable with that. I feel like this is something a customer should be told before the massage begins, especially when we were not given a choice. During the massage, I became very uncomfortable. At one point, the man was using my buttocks area as a place to rest his right hand while massaging me with his left hand. When he was about to massage my legs, he placed the towel between my legs and pushed it against my private area twice. This was completely unexpected and made me extremely uncomfortable. My heart was racing throughout the massage because I felt uncomfortable and scared, but I didn't know how to react or what to say in the moment. The experience became more uncomfortable as time went on. He was mostly silent throughout the massage. Regardless of his intentions, I did not feel safe or comfortable with the way the massage was conducted. I believe clients should be clearly informed about who will be performing their massage and should be asked about their comfort level, especially when the therapist is a different gender than expected. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling very uncomfortable afterward, and I would not recommend this spa at all based on my experience.

I had…read morejust ended a 2-day conference where I was on my feet all day in heels and sorely needed a foot massage. I called this place and they were ready to take me in 15 minutes. when I arrived, they asked for payment upfront. this is highly unusual and nowhere else that offers any kind of service (spa, salon, etc.) takes payment upfront. this should've been my first clue that clients often dispute the charges, so this is why they take it before the service. when i entered the massage area, I realized that you dont get your own room, and your massage bed is not partitioned, so its. shared room with about 10 beds. what ended up happening is that the guy next to me fell asleep and snored very loudly the ENTIRE time of my massage. obviously this prevents any sort of relaxation. so, effectively my massage was ruined. I could not ignore it and it was so so annoying to have to listen to. as far as my masseuse, there were a couple issues there too. first, the entire time he focused on the center section of my foot, he did not touch the toes or the heel. this place advertises itself as reflexology, and the toes are a major part of that. so that was extremely disappointing and I could've really used that part of the foot massage. if youre going to have a one-hour massage focused only on the feet, you have to do the ENTIRE foot, I felt like this is just obvious. however, I couldn't communicate with him at all as he doesnt speak english. second, he used SO much lotion, my feet felt like they were swimming in a swamp during the entire massage. it was horrible, and he couldnt get any real traction because of the insane amount of lotion. finally, at the end I tipped him about 13%, because I felt like he tried his best, however the overall environment there, plus his skills, was lacking. as we walked out, he walked through the door into the lobby and let it close in front of my face rather than holding it open for me. when I entered the lobby, the receptionist asked me how the service was. I told him about the snoring. he did not apologize, but instead said he could discount my service but could I please tip the masseuse more, since that wasn't his fault. then I explained the issue with the masseuse. he sad he would talk to him about it, and didn't end up discounting my service. this is the first time EVER in my entire life i have had someone ask me to tip more. not at any restaurant, bar, salon, spa, etc. has anyone ever said that, because it's common social etiquette that you NEVER ask for more tip, ESPECIALLY when you're told that there's a problem with the experience and/or service. this blew my mind that the masseuse ran to the receptionist right away to complain about his tip. and still no one apologized to me! needless to say, I will never come back!!
