    Thank you to Tim for being so accomodating to my boyfriend and I and allowing us to change our…read morereservations! I've seen cedar baths before on Instagram, and I had to try it out for myself when we visited Tahoe. He did an amazing job explaining to us the health benefits of the cedar, helping us get situated, and pouring us a cup of Super Ohtaka (a Japanese beverage consisting of 50 fermented vegetables) at the end of the session. The cedar bath itself was comfortable, each session is 25 minutes. I wasn't anticipating getting so messy! It was very fun getting buried in the cedar- the way Tim explained it was like getting covered in a warm weighted blanket. It's a similar experience to a sauna, I was surprised when he told us that there was no heating in the tub and that the cedar enzymes were keeping the cedar warm! I definitely felt my circulation improving. If you end up overheating, you can create air bubbles with your toes and hands or just stick your arm out to help regulate your internal temperature- which is what I ended up doing. We got out of the tub, brushed off, hopped in the shower, and felt rejuvenated. What a fun novelty experience!

It's not a sauna but an experience that you've never had before. Unless you're from Japan and then maybe you've done it. It's what everyone else shared ... peaceful, restorative, healing, warm. Kirsten was awesome and explained the science behind the cedar and warming mechanism -- quite fascinating! I have some pain in my right elbow as well as lymphedema in right arm. After the session my arm felt 10000% better. It was unbelievable. I had no concerns about cleanliness. Everything was great and after the session you brush off the cedar and then shower. Bring your own swim suit or they'll provide disposable ones along with a robe. Afterwards I was offered an elixir of some sort with digestive health benefits. It's available for purchase on Amazon for $179 a bottle! This was such a great experience. Yes it's pricey but sooooooo worth it. Thank you to the owners and staff who make this available.

I rarely…read moreleave reviews like this, but our experience with Elements Spa was so disappointing that I feel other travelers should know what happened. I'm shocked at the positive reviews to be honest because my experience was so different. I booked what was advertised as a 90-minute deep tissue couples massage that included access to the lodge's private beach. Because I was traveling with my family, I specifically asked the spa's front desk beforehand whether my family could join me on the beach. I was told yes. Had I been told otherwise, we would have made completely different plans. Unfortunately, the massage itself that I received by "Eddy" was one of the worst spa treatments I have ever received, and I have had many professional massages and spa treatments over the years. First of all, they brought us back 6 minutes after our appointment time. Then a significant portion of the appointment, my therapist simply rested his hands on my back while taking deep breaths. The remainder consisted primarily of extremely slow, light rubbing of lotion into my skin. There was virtually nothing I would describe as deep-tissue massage. It genuinely felt as though the goal was simply to let the 90 minutes pass rather than provide the treatment I had paid for. I will say my spa partner had a much better experience with Danielle stating she was "very strong" and he felt the massage was something he would return for. Unfortunately, the facility was extremely disappointing. The spa felt dated and run-down, with old carpeting, bathrooms were dingy and my massage was performed in what appeared to be an older hotel room. It was nothing like the relaxing or upscale spa experience the description led me to expect. But what turned a disappointing experience into an absolutely awful one was what happened afterward. When my family joined me at the beach, as the spa and front desk had expressly told us they could we were informed by the new lodge management that they would not honor what we had been told. Instead of recognizing that this was clearly a communication issue between the spa and the lodge, they were hostile towards us and we were escorted off the property while someone yelled at us and accused us of having "lied." Being treated that way in front of my family and other guests (btw there were only 4 people on the private beach besides us) we had 6 people in our party, so it was incredibly embarrassing and humiliating. We were guests who had paid almost $500 in spa services and had specifically asked permission before using the beach. If the spa gave us incorrect information, that was an internal issue between the spa and lodge management, not a reason to publicly accuse paying guests of dishonesty. I was willing to overlook an underwhelming massage or an outdated facility. I even tipped because I don't like to complain. However, what I cannot overlook is being given false information, relying on that information, and then being treated disrespectfully and accused of lying because the lodge and spa apparently weren't on the same page. For what was supposed to be a relaxing first day of our family vacation in Lake Tahoe, this ended up being one of the most uncomfortable and humiliating hospitality experiences I have ever had. I will never return, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend Elements Spa or the Lodge they are located in due to the unprofessional and hostile treatment we received.

Before my friend was going to receive the facial, she was pressured multiple times by the esthetician that she could upgrade to the Pumpkin Peel Facial for an extra $80, to which she agreed to. All of this should have resulted in a $400 dollar charge and a 10% tip for a $440 charge. Somehow Serenity Spa ended up charging her $564.  After explaining the overcharges, the front desk receptionist assured me there were no overcharges. Then after looking further, after intense prompting, she admitted there was a $60 overcharge - she couldn't explain how she came to this number, which was still wrong. After insisting this was the only overcharge, the receptionist refused to address the remaining $60 overcharge and hung up the phone after accusing us of lying, which was incredibly unprofessional and irritating as my friend is an incredibly accomplished and pure hearted person. I'm not at all surprised at the litany of negative reviews about Serenity Spa and I would encourage everyone to steer clear of this place and their questionable, at best, transparency and billing practices.

    Please don't book a spa experience here!…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. I'll start with the positives: Alex and Pamela were fantastic. Their massages were excellent, and they were the only reason this review is getting 2 stars instead of 1. The gentleman who greeted us in the hotel lobby was also very kind. Unfortunately, everything else fell far below expectations. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and originally hoped to book at Edgewood, but their spa was closed for renovations. We asked for a comparable experience and were referred here. At $170pp, we expected something relaxing and upscale. Our appointments were at 1:00pm, and the spa called the day before to let us know we could arrive early to enjoy the amenities. We arrived at 11:00am and were immediately met with an unfriendly attitude from the front desk. Instead of welcoming us, she seemed irritated that we had arrived early, even though the spa had invited us to do so. The "locker room" was another disappointment: 4 lockers inside what was essentially a bathroom. For a couples spa day, having to change and use the restroom in the same cramped space was awkward and far from the experience we expected. When we grabbed towels from the locker room to head to the pool, we were abruptly told we couldn't use them and had to go to the hotel front desk for separate pool towels and a pool key, while wearing spa robes. The pool area itself was also disappointing. The hot tub had dead flies and wasps floating in it, and the overall setting felt more like a hotel entry area than a peaceful spa retreat. We were told to return 10 min before our treatment, so we came back early. We were then informed our "steam room" was ready. In reality, it was a tiny steam shower with enough room for 1 person to sit...not exactly the couples amenity we had imagined. To top it off, the final price was higher than quoted. We booked at $170 per person but were charged $185 per person, plus a 20% gratuity. We were happy to tip our massage therapists, they earned it, but no one explained the additional charge. For $444 total, this experience felt extremely overpriced and underwhelming. If you're looking for a true spa day, I would strongly recommend booking elsewhere.

    We booked a day pass for the spa to use the amenities which included the hot tub, pool, and steam…read moreroom. We ended up being fully refunded due to the pool and hot tub not working and being very dirty. When I spoke to the manager of the hotel he said "oh.. I thought it was fixed!" The steam room was nice but definitely only for 1. We were looking for to a girls spa experience but 2/3 were out of the question. I appreciate them being willing to refund us.
