Lakeside Spa...ugh. Where do I start?…read more My friend and I scheduled two massages there while on vacation on Mackinac Island. We both had Jacob the masseuse - a young fellow who we both question if he was even a licensed massage therapist. The massage was such a light touch - it didn't help relieve any muscle tension for either of us and he skipped "massaging" my friend's arms all together! You have a significant upcharge for any "service" other than the basic light to medium massage (it was never even near medium) that included deep tissue, reflexology, anything. We both said to the front desk girl it was the worst massage we ever had! Girl shows mild interest and says "Oh? Sorry." My friend asked "Isn't there anything you can do for us?" Girl: "Umm...I could give you 10% off or you could come back tomorrow." Us: "No thanks. We'll take the 10% off." So, the $186 (!!) massage - $155 for 60 minutes plus a 20% mandatory gratuity add-on was minorly discounted. Gee....thanks. How about you get a qualified massage therapist instead? They count on one and done customers as they know they're not returning to this vacation island. Lakeside Spa has no right calling themselves a spa - absolutely terrible. They literally ripped us off as we didn't get what we paid for. Stay away from this place!

Also, was not impressed with the products she used for the massage- I would expect a body worker to use something better and if not fragrance free, at least more subtle so that I didn't have to leave the massage smelling as if I was covered inexpensive fragrant lotion and oil.

It was very intense and I wasn't really sure how I felt about it, until the next day. It was like all that tight constant pain had been drained away. After a short session I was feeling huge relief. If you're on the fence like I was, I'd recommend you go for it. Any bit of reservations will be gone after one session, and you'll be wondering why you didn't just set up some time sooner.

The first time I'd been to the doctor, chiropractor and physical therapy, and had very little relief after 3 weeks. I was relying heavily on pain meds just to get through the day. He massaged my neck, clavicle, and arms and I felt so much better walking out that I couldn't believe it. The next day, I was pretty much back to normal! This last time I didn't think of Ryan first thing because it was my sacroiliac and I didn't realize he could help with that. I had seen the chiropractor 4 times and the doctor once before I thought of going for a massage. Again, the difference in just one day was incredible. I've also gone in when I just wanted a nice massage, and was not disappointed. But from now on when I have muscle or joint pain, I'll be calling After Effect first! And if all of this wasn't enough, Ryan is also a really nice guy who makes you feel relaxed and comfortable right away. He has my highest recommendation.

The baristas took the time to ask what we were looking for and helped us navigate the menu. The drinks were delicious, and we enjoyed them enough to stop by two days in a row while visiting Mackinaw City. On the first day, I ordered the Coconut Paradise. It was a little heavy on the ice, likely because it was made by a barista in training, but the flavor was well balanced. It was smooth, not too tart, and not overly sweet. The only downside was that the extra ice made it difficult to stir. We also tried the Bird's Eye Latte, which was sweet, flavorful, and very enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who prefers sweeter coffee drinks. On our second visit, I ordered the Maple Harvest Cold Brew. Since it uses real maple syrup, it took some effort to mix thoroughly, and I didn't notice the maple flavor until after stirring. We also tried the matcha, which wasn't sweet and had the rich, earthy green tea flavor that I love. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great drink in Mackinaw City!
