I've had some massages in the past even on a cruise ship and I always felt like I wanted them to really dig in and couldn't really get that. Well I'm not sure what her name was but boy she sure did get deep in there I almost had to tap out at one point but it was really really good. I even asked for a bit of a face massage and when she was doing it it's like she read my mind where I wanted the pressure. It's a bit of a mom and pop type of vibe but I kinda like that. Anyways, I would recommend it!

I was taken as a walk in- brought to the room and massage started out good... after ten minutes my massage therapist left the room to talk to another worker outside the door 7 times!!! At this point I was irritated- not only because she kept leaving but the other two workers did not stop talking... the walls are so thin they might as well have been in my room. I hear the door open again and look up to see the door wide open, my butt half exposed and a worker standing in the door chatting with my massage therapist. When they noticed I was starring at the two of the workers- they switched out and this lady scratched my head for 20 minutes not like a soothing scratch but a one hand on top of my head scratch but get this! She left the room x3! Thankfully, I was told the massage was over. I went to the front to pay and run away to my surprise 3 people were sitting and waiting. I paid and left. Never will I waste money here again. Super disappointed.

The only thing I'd change was the way they do appointments is a bit old school and feels a little bit disorganized. And the massage room is right off the lobby, so if there's people waiting, you can hear chatting during your massage. 4/5 for the spa itself, but overall good experience! I want to try the salt cave next time. It looks so relaxing in there and is supposed to have great health benefits.

You sit in a comfy chair in a fun and calming room, and they pump air into the room that contains medical-grade salt. You can't see the salt, or feel it, or smell it. It's like breathing regular air. I had some congestion in my lungs, and I felt better after one treatment! It was such a great experience that I'm having a girls happy hour outing there next week, just for the fun of it. A unique experience! Almost forgot to thank the owner profusely - my lung issue was really getting old, and I called the Spa on a Monday, to see ask questions about whether or not the salt spa treatment would help. Serenity Spa is closed on Mondays, so I left a message. The owner herself called me back within an hour, on her day off! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

Day Spa Patrons - 3 ladies We came just for massages and wraps and were rather rushed through signing in process then whisked down to a relaxation room. While finishing up the paperwork our therapist came to get us. No time to relax. No tour of the facilities, nor shown the changing room which also contained robes which we discovered way later. It was a cooler April morning and my spa room I was put in was cold. My therapist hands were cold as well. I asked right away if she could adjust the a/c and she said no. She did go get me another blanket. The message was very good but my feet were cold the whole time. I put my swim suit on and headed to the hot tub thinking this will be great. Hot tub was not even heated yet for the day - put was on. When I asked about it they said to go to the front desk. The lady scurried to turn it on. Also the Bathrooms needed toilet paper. There were No towels by the pool. No cushions on pool lounge chairs as shown in pictures. You would think when you first open up in the morning you would have everything ready and put out. A quick tour or instructions would be nice too. For the prices we paid the attention to detail so lacked. I asked where the showers where and was told none and that only certain services included a shower. So if you want to go to a really cool place and pay 5 star prices and the little details don't care to you, then this is your place. I'm so disappointed since I wanted to take a friend there when she came to visit. My take away is that their bread and butter are the overnight guests who sign up for the detox program. It's too bad since they could have a good amount of clientele who are just looking for a nice spa.

These were included and helped to busy up the day Detox program 1/5 The detox program they do is just not for me - it included a morning proprietary detox drink with vegan protein, tea, oil blended together. It was terrible and very difficult to get down. Lunch was a liquid as well and similar except with more green stuff in it - also tasted terrible and dinner was thankfully a delicious soup. The soup was a major highlight. I will absolutely be making some on my own at home as fall approaches. The reason I rate this so low is that for the cost of this retreat there should be an option for participants to have additional whole, organic raw fruits and vegetables as small meals instead of or alongside these drinks. Complete deprecation does not work for me and it's disappointing there isn't another option available to participants. The only way I enjoyed my time was by supplementing my eating with fruit and veg I brought in from a local grocery store. I shouldn't have to supplement a reatreat experience to enjoy it. Logistics 1/5 There was just an overall lack of logistical organization during the 5 days. As someone who has worked to do logistics for events I know this either makes or breaks an experience and in this case it broke it in a lot of ways. Everyone had to get their daily schedules from the front after our class and most days, despite this being told to us as what to do at check in, the front seemed surprised we all showed up (unprepared). Schedules were hand-written and on scrap paper and for me, despite email correspondence about my schedule pre arrival, incorrect. As a result I missed one of my services (they did provide a refund) but this was a huge gap in expectations v reality. The program also advertised buying additional oils to use in your daily drinks (cbd) but this wasn't in stock so again, a huge missed opportunity. COVID related - apparently in Montgomery county where the retreat is located masks are not required. There weren't a lot of people and a lot of opportunities to maintain 6 feet distance except in spa services (no one wore a mask). This was a bit alarming overall. I would have felt better if I'd have seen some kind of screening being done for everyone at check-in (temp checks at least) to give some sense of covid caution, but there was none of this. There was hand sanitizer in one shared common space but again, it just seems like more could have been done to give people a bit more piece of mind (temp checks since masks were not being worn). Overall, I got what I wanted and needed from the experience but only because I supplemented it with what I needed. Therefore I give it a 2.5/5. It was a great space to recharge and reconnect but manage your expectations around it being a "spa resort". If you've been to 4 or 5 star facilities where the service is impeccable this will fall short.

They also kept stopping and going to the corner and whisper.. it was completely uncomfortable. We were also done about 4:05, so less than the hour booked.
