I genuinely enjoyed my experience at this spa from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere was…read morebeautiful, the service was enjoyable, and I thoroughly enjoyed my massage. Unfortunately, what happened at the end of my visit completely changed my impression of the establishment. This was a birthday gift, and my massage had already been paid for before I arrived. After the service, my massage therapist Jean asked me, in front of everyone in the reception area, whether I wanted to leave a tip. I found this extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. Tipping is a personal decision, and if a gratuity is going to be discussed, I believe it should be handled discreetly and respectfully--not in front of other customers in a way that can make someone feel pressured or put on the spot. What makes this especially disappointing is that I truly enjoyed everything else about my visit. A simple, professional checkout could have left me wanting to return and recommend the spa to others. Instead, the way the tip was handled was enough to make me reconsider ever patronizing this establishment again. Customer experience doesn't end when the massage is over. The way you make a client feel when they leave matters just as much as the service itself. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because this was an avoidable situation that left a lasting negative impression on what otherwise could have been a wonderful experience.

The interior was nice, but a little small. Going into and out of the lobby was very tight, all so the handicap ramp access is thou a staff only location.

Overall, not a bad experience, but could have been just a little bit better.

The treatment area is calming and there is even chocolate available. Waxing can never be described as one of the more enjoyable beauty treatments but it was less painful than some and she was kind and professional. The outcome was excellent. I also indulged in an Indian Head Massage which was amazing. Very relaxing, I get migraines and I found it helped with some tension in my neck. It's a great option if you don't have the time or budget for a full massage. Finally I had my eyebrows threaded, and she did a great job. I asked to have them left full, just cleaned up and she listened! She trimmed them a bit to shape and they look great!

Not only is it beautiful, but they have wonderful amenities you can use with a purchase of a spa service. I went with my mom for pre- wedding relaxation! She has been there many times. As a soon to be bride, I wanted a relaxing day with a good massage. I had the Himalayan Stone Massage and then the Lavender Body Scrub. Both were so relaxing! After check-in, they first showed us around and to the women's spa area. They give you robes, slippers, and towels and showed us how to use the lockers. I am 4'11, and wear a size 4 shoe- the small shoes fit me perfectly! They have a few relaxation areas, showers, changing rooms, a whirlpool, and a steam room. There are a few different hot tea flavors if you want tea. There is water available and some snacks (trail mix & crackers). Phone use is discouraged. My massage therapist was Yvette. She was wonderful!! She asked questions and kept me informed during the massage and body scrub, which left me comfortable and relaxed. She also managed to pinpoint all my knots and work them out! After my sessions, I tried the steam room. This is different than a sauna. Compared to other spas in the area that give massages, the price was not too much more expensive. I think you get more for your money since you get to use the amenities.

We both had the Laurel type of treatments which is as free of chemicals as possible. One hour each preceded by fact questioning which was pertinent to the treatments. The Laurel line smells so wonderful, a combo of herbs that makes you feel so relaxed but not sleepy. Afterwards I was given a card to use since I live locally for future treatments so I could get a chance to receive a surprise after a certain number of treatments. I also received samples of the Laurel skin cleanser and the sunscreen. I did have the chance to use both and am so impressed by both. Just a smidgen of each applied has improved my complexion. Definitely going to set up regular follow up treatments. Also right after my facial, my complexion felt so calm and not inflamed though I had been following all the correct ways to keep a clearer complexion such as drinking plenty of water, not touching my face, sleeping with my hair pulled away from my face, using cleanser free of perfume, etc. The spa is so very clean and I was quite impressed.
