This spa is located directly on the beach. The smell of seaweed is nearby, but not too overwhelming once you get to the massage place. My boyfriend and I made a deal for 2, 60min massages for $40 with an added $10 tip. The massages were AMAZING--head to toe with the scent of burning white sage, clashing of the waves & aromatherapy. This can be compared to a "four seasons spa" experience- only more affordable. Just perfect.

Located right on the water, make this your first stop to ease those achy muscles! Cool sea breeze, comfortable massage beds and friendly staff (limited English) who know certainly seem to know what they are doing. We paid $250 pesos each, total time 75mins! Great deal!

Emily's work has kept me functional for my baby, and I know it will have long-term benefits for my…read morepostpartum body and nervous system. I started seeing Emily after being cleared following my C-section. Everything hurt. My body was out of alignment, my wrists were inflamed, and I was carrying so much tension. Holding my baby was difficult and painful. I don't normally get bodywork, but I made a commitment to taking care of myself so I could be the best version for my child. I walked out of my first session feeling lighter, stronger, more grounded, and like my body had gotten a facelift. Her work is deep and intense, and there can be some short-term discomfort, but it has been worth it. Emily communicates clearly throughout the treatment and creates such a calm, zen experience. I especially appreciate that she makes space for consent throughout the process and allows me to be an active participant in my care. Just as I was reaching the end of my massage package, I broke my foot. I continued treatment with Emily to support my recovery alongside physical therapy. I had nerve overstimulation and rebound pain after surgery and she was able to re-regulate me. Being able to bring my baby and nanny with me has also been such a wonderful experience. We all leave happy. I'm incredibly grateful for the care Emily has given me during such a physically demanding season of motherhood. Her work has made a real difference in how I feel and function.

Although I didn't work with Emily personally, she was very gracious and supportive during the…read moreconsultation stage and referred me to the proper help! Super grateful! ~Dani

The resort doesn't let outside massage people come to you, so the spa just handled it: Maria, a driver they trust, picked us up and dropped us off, about 30-60 min each way. Super easy to deal with, too - they mostly do everything over WhatsApp, and Gina (the owner) had it all sorted out for us. Before we started they had us fill out a quick little survey on what we wanted worked on, and they actually stuck to it during the massage. The place itself has this industrial-but-cozy, zen vibe going on - very chill. They've got a shower to rinse off before you start, and they even give you your own little scrub for it, which was a nice surprise. The therapists were seriously amazing, some of the best massages we've ever had, and they use a little sound bowl to signal when it's starting and ending, which felt like such a nice touch. We got the 2-hour couples massage, and after they brought out tea and a fruit tart - felt way more like a retreat day than a spa appointment. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you're staying nearby and want a good excuse to escape the resort for a few hours. Thanks Gina and Maria for a great experience!

If you want cheap run of the mill massage this won't be a good fit but if you are looking for a…read morefantastic massage in an environment that supports healing and personalized attention then you came to the right place! When we arrived we were seated at the front and invited to discuss what we want out of our massage today and if there is anything they should know- like a mini consultation. And shortly after we were guided to a cute bathroom with our personalized scrubbing salt to exfoliate from the neck down- and this was an amazing experience to cleanse our bodies and our mind. When we hopped onto the massage table all fresh and clean we were ready to receive the experience fully. We got the botica massage which includes scalp massage, firm pressure for shoulder neck area, hot stone, relaxing leg massage and reflexology. And what an incredible treat; every aspect of the client experience shows deep intention for healing and care in this space. We were awaken from the massage from the beautiful sounds of a sound bowl. Just wow! I will be returning as often as possible for the rest of my trip and would highly recommend this gem! By the way, location wise, when you see casa sofia you are at the right plaza - botica is on first level, top right corner (second door from the last on the right hand side) curtains are drawn when they are in session with clients. Appointment wise the best thing is to schedule a time via WhatsApp. See the WhatsApp phone number I uploaded as an image that's the right number to use to make appt.

First class spa located in Heaven, the adult side of the Hard Rock Riviera Maya. The facilities…read moreare not only beautiful, but functional with a complete hydrotherapy area on the male and female sides. Take your pick or do them all: Two saunas (warm and hot), cold room with ice to cool off your body, steam room, three jacuzzis (cold, warm, hot), cold showers. There are an abundance of staff and treatment rooms. I never had an issue getting an appointment. The procedure at Rock Spa was a bit different than what I have experienced at other spas. I checked in at the desk outside the spa and got a little ticket describing my service. On my first visit I filled out a questionnaire detailing the type of massage I wanted. I then had to go to the the second desk in the spa where I got my locker key. A robe and perfectly sized flip flops were in the locker. What was different about this spa was that you did not have free reign to enjoy the facilities. You needed to keep track of that little ticket and give it to one of the attendants. An attendant would then take you on your hydrotherapy journey. They would make sure you spent the appropriate amount of time in each room and got to your service on time. All of the attendants were lovely and it was nice to have someone "take care of you" but I am more of a free reign type of person. I would prefer to wander at my own pace. After the hydrotherapy journey, the attendant puts a warm compress on your shoulders and walks you to the sumptuous waiting room. The waiting room looks like a sultan's palace. There were comfortable chairs, sofas, and a small settee with different teas (including passion fruit, my favorite), nuts, and fruit to enjoy before or after your service. So how were the services? As with any place it really depends on who you get. My first service was an 80 minute deep tissue massage. After filling out the questionnaire at the front desk and being asked by the masseuse what areas she wanted me to concentrate on, I was given a pleasant, relaxing, generic massage. It was not terrible, except for the fact that the masseuse ignored the areas I asked her to work on. When you leave you are given a quick survey. If you do not check that your service was "excellent" ( I checked "Good"), then a manager will immediately come out to talk to you. Because I was not completely satisfied I was given 25 minutes free for my next service. My next massage with Gustavo was much better! I also got an 80 minute facial. There are so many facials available that it was hard to choose which one to get. I went with so the facial could be customized for my skin. The technician slathered a bunch of stuff in my skin and massaged a lot with a little roller. It was relaxing but I am not sure if it did anything good for my skin. There were no extractions. The only facial that comes with extractions is the Purifying Facial. The facilities (and attendants)at Rock Spa were definitely a 5+. The services were very good but I don't think they matched that level. I was however, truly impressed with the Spa management's commitment to excellence. I have rarely seen any business take feedback so seriously . It was greatly appreciated!

On my first visit, I arrived early and forgot my bathing suit. They gave me a throw away suit so I could use the hydra therapy area. I used the cold/ice therapy room which was very refreshing. There was a sauna and steam room which I didn't go in to. They had 3 jacuzzi tubs with temperatures from cold to hot. I did use those. I was then led to my massage. I had a deep tissue which was incredible. I went a 2nd time for a massage and facial and again was not disappointed. If you're at this resort you must go to this spa.
