Hands down BEST massage I've ever had over many cities and countries! Lisa knew all the right pressure points! I had been in serious pain for about a month. I'd even had two massages in that time frame and after 50 mins with Lisa, my headache was gone. Lajitas is a beautiful destination but I'd come just for the massage! read more

Agave Spa - Agave Spa - Massage Near Me - Lajitas, Texas

My husband sent me an email about this spa ahead of our Big Bend trip. I had been badly injured when a motorist hit me while I was on my bike and he knew a day of relaxing while he went mountain biking was what I deserved. I corresponded with Regina and told her about my injuries, I was cleared for massage by my neurosurgeon but still not comfortable with much touch so she helped me build a package with a body wrap and facial. Yes, the prices are high but you're at a resort in the middle of no where and it states clearly on the menu the gratuity is included. I walked in and the spa is a very charming little space, even though it was high season it was very quiet inside. You change into a comfortable robe and slippers, everything is very peaceful and calming from the candle fragrances to the soft music. We started with a wonderful foot soak, I almost fell asleep the room was so relaxing. During the body wrap Regina was very mindful of my injuries, scar tissue and took great care showing she is a true professional. After she wrapped me and left me for awhile in the room I let the soft music and lovely scents lull me into a nap! She was also very considerate, reminding me that if I sat up fast I may be dizzy and she'd give me privacy but if I needed assistance due to the nature of my injuries to please let her know. During the facial we chatted and I found her delightful, she gave me advice on shops to check for an ornament for my collection and told me about the area. The only thing I wish was in previous facials it included a light planing of the facial hair which this one did not. All of the products left my skin feeling great for the rest of our visit, not an easy task in the desert when I have skin that is sensitive. The visit was truly a wonderful thought from my husband and I very much enjoyed the time at the spa, I am not a frequent spa visitor but I found it wonderful and will return next time I find myself in Lajitas. read more

The main thing here is the massages. And those were good. My husband and I decided it would be nice to treat ourselves while in the area. We each got a Swedish massage, and we both enjoyed them very much. My therapist was Gina and the massage was just the right amount of pressure (and she invited me to let her know if any part of the treatment or massage table needed adjustment). The level of service was just fine and not different from any other massage that I've had in the last 30 years. My husband had a similar experience. Two ways to improve: (1) Make it very clear that a gratuity is included. I did not realize this, and so I tipped 25% (in the holiday spirit), so I shot myself in the foot there. If I missed this info about included gratuity then shame on me. (2) The client info pages should probably be moved inside so that other clients can't see them. I appreciate wanting to let guests fill them out in advance, but I don't think that much time is saved by having them available outside. This is the case because the spa is locked while a treatment is being conducted. Given how high-end this spa bills itself to be, give the therapists a break and hire a receptionist to man the desk and sell the products so that clients can come inside the spa and sit in comfortable chairs rather than being locked out on the front patio. read more

I received a massage and a facial and it was lovely! The owner was very kind to me and my family during our time there. She even gave us free goodies as we left. It is very small and only run by one lady, but it is a small city so I didn't expect anything too extravagant. I would say that during my facial the air conditioner was very loud and distracting. I also would have loved to know what was going on my face as she put it on there (ex lotion, exfoliate, etc) Other than that everything was lovely! Very clean area. Definitely would recommend giving it a shot! read more

I decided to surprise my husband on our anniversary with a massage. Since we were staying at the Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa, it made sense to get the massage at their resort, WRONG. My husband and I had an awful experience with the massage we received at Agave Spa. My husband and I indulge in monthly massages, and we always book a massage while we are on vacation, and I can honestly say that our experience at Agave Spa was the worst we have ever had. The deep tissue massage isn't that deep! My husband had to remind his masseuse that he had ordered the deep tissue and not the Swedish massage. She ignored him, so he politely reminded her again that he didn't feel any pressure. The masseuse once again ignored his frequent requests for deeper pressure. Instead she scolded him for talking during the session. Excuse me?! He gave up reminding her of the type of massage that was expected and instead let her continue with the overpriced backrub. This experience was not what we expected from the Lajitas Golf Resort. They advertise themselves as a high-end resort, but some of the services are on par with a Motel 6. The deep tissue massage is overpriced for the service you receive. The session cost $156 for 1 massage and that didn't include the mandatory 20% gratuity that is added to your bill. I was not informed of this until after I left a tip, so the lazy back-rubbers received a double tip from me. It is only professional to inform your client ahead of time that the tip is included in the bill. This was by far a truly unpleasant and unprofessional experience on all counts. Save your money and go somewhere else. To say we were highly disappointed in our experience is an understatement. read more

I purchased a massage, facial and foot soak package, and have been kicking myself ever since for spending so much money on such terrible service. The deep tissue I received from a male masseuse was actually great. I like deep tissue massages, and I really liked the massage portion of my package. The facial, however, was a joke. The best way I can explain it is that it seemed like a masseuse was giving a facial for the first time. I've had a lot of facials, in fact, I currently have monthly facials through a local spa for $50 a month and the experience was very comparable. I expected a $288 facial to blow me away, and I couldn't have been more disappointed. Here's a number of reasons for the horrible experience: 1. The woman who did the facial left the room 4 different times during the facial. The first time was for about 10 minutes while my face was getting steamed, the second was for about another 10 minutes while a mask was on my face, and the 3rd and 4th times were for about 5 minutes each. Essentially, I was only really receiving services for 50 minutes vs 80 minutes. In my experience, an aesthetician will typically massage your arms, hands, and/or shoulders while your face is steaming or while a mask is drying. 2. There was virtually no facial massage when putting on the various products. She would put something on my face, go in circles a couple times, then immediately take it off. 3. The woman who did the facial was extremely aggressive when taking the products off my face. In my experience, an aesthetician will typically place a warm towel around your face, let it sit for a couple seconds to loosen up the product, then gently wipe it off. She put the towel on part of my face, while starting to aggressively wipe the product off another part of my face. 4. Throughout the entire facial, the woman who did the facial was extremely loud, so the experience wasn't peaceful or relaxing at all. She rinsed her hands and possibly other items really loudly in the room, and made a lot of noise while getting towels, using products, etc... 5. None of the massages she did do lasted very long, which was disappointing considering the number of times she left the room. To top it all off, I typically notice a difference in my skin immediately after getting a facial, and I haven't noticed any difference after the Ultimate Facial. I honestly feel a bit ripped off based on the almost $550 I paid for the Ultimate Hideout experience. If I'm ever back in Big Bend, I won't be making a stop at the Agave Spa! read more

I had the best massage at Agave Spa! A very relaxing, peaceful atmosphere with great personal service and care. I left the spa relaxed, stress free, invigorated, and with some great lotions, candles, and absolutely gorgeous lip gloss and nail polish! I definitely recommend finding time to treat yourself to a day at Agave! read more

Gina is the best, tried my first hot stone massage and it was fabulous. I have been several times, and she always works on the area of concern, or if no concern, just a nice relaxing massage. I love the music they play and the oils they use. Definitely would recommend to a friend or two. read more

I was supposed to receive a facial and special foot treatment totaling 110 minutes. I was shorted 20 minutes. The therapist apparently combined the treatments and I had to remind her that the foot treatment was supposed to include exfoliating. She thanked me and wiped the lotion off and rubbed a little bit of salt on my feet. It was a joke. She left the room several times during the facial. Maybe living out in the middle of no where you are limited on who you hire but don't charge a ridiculous amount AND add gratuity ahead of treatments. Guess I see why that is done because a tip was not earned at all. read more

Booked the Ultimate Hideout to destress from working the polls for early voting. From being greeted at the door to walking back to my condo, the experience was wonderful. The foot soak in the very quiet room was a great beginning. The massage melted away the knots and the finishing touch of a facial and warm shea butter on my hands and feet prepared me to enjoy the beauty of Big Bend. Highly recommend taking the time to pamper yourself at the spa. read more
