I've never actually been to a real spa before (I've had facials and massages but never a full…read morelike... spa experience) and so I figured while on my very snowy December trip to Montreal now was the time. The fact that this spa is on a boat and half of it was outdoors was the appeal! So we booked just the water circuit (no extras, just saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs) to see if this was even something we'd like. Turns out the December visit was the way to go! It wasn't packed at all, and turns out that sitting in a hot tub while the snow falls on your face is actually a top ten life experience. It was cold as heck out, mind you, but somehow you never feel chilly when you're going in and out of saunas and hot tubs. I did wish some of the relaxation rooms were a bit warmer, or there was an ability to swap out a soaking towel at some point, but I was never uncomfortable. Everything was clean and people around us were respectful. I loved the no phone policy and definitely chilled out to staring into this strangely brutalist bay. David Lynch relaxation vibes. The best was the floor where you could sit in a porthole window -- only wish we had discovered it earlier! I would totally come back here and check out some of their other offerings. Dunno, might even aim for a winter trip again because it was just that nice!

Listen...I can admit it...I fell for their amazing online marketing. Once I booked my trip to…read moreMontreal, I would get ads, reels and TikToks on this place ALL the time. Finally I gave in and booked a day there for 3 of us on a Saturday afternoon. A spa experience on a boat on the water -- sounds amazing! I should have noticed on their website that they offer all sorts of discounts, etc to NOT go on the weekends. Why? Because it gets PACKED. Seriously packed. You feel more like cattle than a person enjoying rest and relaxation. Plus, I remember seeing they had a quiet section, but when I booked through the phone, their associate told me not to worry there is only a small portion that is a quiet section and then they have an outdoor section where guests can talk freely. Terrific because I knew we gals wanted to chat throughout the day. Well, we checked in and headed down to their locker room, which felt like a combo of a high school locker room in a basement, and we had to duck around the other guests and try to quickly change and head back up. We decided to go to the jacuzzi outside and even though it was raining, a jacuzzi looked like it would be heavenly. We got in and even though it was full in there, we started commenting on how nice it is. Some of the women already in there started fidgeting and then the next thing we knew the staff was coming over to us and reprimanding us for talking. We had no idea we had somehow wandered into the quiet zone but we quickly left and headed to the talking permitted section. That area felt like a Las Vegas day pool area -- lots of people everywhere. Every chair, lounge area, etc taken. We didn't stay too long there either. Then it was time for the massage. I had a therapeutic massage with tiger balm and it was probably one of the best massages I've ever had. That is truly the only redeeming part of the experience. On the one hand, I'm glad we went so we could have our own firsthand experience there, but also on the other, we still wound up getting massages in our own hotel two days later because we really wanted to have a relaxing experience while on vacation. Lesson learned!

I also tried their head to fingertips massage. It was nice, but maybe not something I would do again. It just felt a little slow and not the most relaxing experience. I did really love the grounds. We got lucky that it was a beautiful fall day and we could spend the whole time comfortably outside. We floated around from the hot pools, to the cold plunge, to the Yurt, to their couches by the water. Overall that was truly lovely. The restaurant was an experience. I happened to ask at check-in if we needed a reservation and quickly realized we did. Luckily they were able to fit us in for a late lunch. The restaurant was very busy, so the reservations made more sense. The Nordic menu definitely had some interesting options. The poached pear was probably the prettiest dish I've ever eaten, but it was undercooked, so almost impossible to eat since they didn't give us a knife. Service was very slow and we did not have the opportunity to ask for a knife since our server wasn't around. The Bad: I've never been to a day spa where they didn't give you spa sandals to wear throughout your stay. We were surprised by that. I had to wear my flats all day and my friend had to wear her sneakers. I was also surprised that access to the thermal pools was not included with your treatment purchase. I also wish they provided more amenities in the locker room like most spas do (razors, hair products, eetc). Overall, is this place perfect, no? Did I still thoroughly enjoy it and have an amazing day utilizing the outdoor facilities? Yes!

I'm not new to massages, in fact I love them and make a point of going at least 5 time a year usually. I enjoyed my massage here with Simona. She was tough in the areas that needed it and released some of the tension I was feeling. It's a cute, small "spa" in the old port. I wish the entrance space was larger and there was parking included. The hammam part is small and would feel cramped for more than 2 people. They bring you tea at the end which I thought was a cute touch. Enjoyed my experience and would go again!

I was in a desperate need for some self-love and I was treated to a 90 minute Hot Stone Massage and an advanced facial. The combination of the massage and facial was just the perfect treat. The Hot Stone was soothing and relaxing. 60 minutes would have been too short, 90 minutes is just the perfect amount of time for it. During the facial, the aesthetician dedicated good part of the time taking out some of the blackheads on my face. After the facial, my skin felt plump and glowing. Recommend this spa, anyone looking to take 2-3 hours off their day to pamper themselves.

Promotion Un code promo de 20 % était affiché dans l'application sans date visible. Via le chat en ligne puis par courriel avec les relations clients, le rabais m'a été refusé. J'ai perdu environ une heure à tenter de régler la situation. Finalement, ce n'est qu'à la réception, sur place, grâce au bon sens de la réceptionniste et après validation auprès de sa superviseure, que le rabais a été appliqué. Merci à l'équipe sur le terrain. Cependant, la communication interne et la cohérence du service client à distance doivent être améliorées. Ambiance et gestion du silence Le spa est toujours très populaire et cela se ressent. J'ai constaté davantage de bruit et de cellulaires qu'auparavant. Lors de ma dernière visite, quatre membres du personnel discutaient entre eux à proximité immédiate d'une cliente prenant photos et selfies dans les bains remous, sans intervention. Avant, le respect du silence était appliqué plus rigoureusement avec des rappels fréquents. Aujourd'hui, on sent un relâchement, possiblement lié au manque de personnel, mais cela affecte l'expérience thermale. ‍ Qualité inégale Bien que mes expériences passées aient été très positives, le soin reçu par ma conjointe lors de cette visite n'était pas au même niveau que ce à quoi nous étions habitués. En résumé Le site demeure magnifique et reste une destination phare. Mais l'expérience client et la rigueur opérationnelle ne sont plus tout à fait au niveau d'autrefois. J'y retournerai probablement, car les attraits initiaux sont toujours là. J'espère sincèrement un retour à l'excellence qui a fait la réputation de l'endroit.

It was so soothing & ethereal. I tried out the very cold, plunge pool multiple times since I have read of its ice cold "rejuvenating powers" & it certainly was invigorating. We also spent time in the Moroccan-themed pods, enjoyed the steam room (we skipped the sauna), the waterfall pool &, capped off our Zen evening sitting by the firepit, perusing the night sky for shooting stars. Although we thought that the obligatory tip added to our bill/reservation was a tad high, our evening of pools with their ubiquitous & strong jacuzzi jets, star/mountain & deer gazing & quietude (there is a dedicated "shhh" person who walks around, reminding folks to not talk) was worth the price. You will be supplied with terry robes & showers are available to rinse off as well as lockers, as well as a dining area. Enjoy your time here as we did!

Located on the outskirts of Rawdon, you can easily find the spa retreat and find lots of available parking. Walking from the parking area up to the spa was a beautiful but vigorous task as the climb was noticeable but that view was so rewarding at the same time. The place is gorgeous, located pleasantly along the side of a mountain with splendid facilities and clean grounds. When we got there at 10 AM, we noticed no other patrons were there, at least, as far as we noticed. We were alone for the sauna experiences, the hot bath experiences as well as the resting experiences until noon. What a delight! We opted for some massages and they were great! The signature massage was relaxing and hit the spot, the masseuse was very competent. In fact, the staff was great. (maybe because we didn't talk! LOL) When we got out of our massages, there were finally some patrons but not near enough to be considered of note. It truly felt like a retreat. It's not cheap but it's certainly worth it. Nature in spring is beautiful with springs flowing around you from up the hill (with a nice path to walk and meditate!) and look forward to perhaps came back to experience it once again in the fall.
