Looking for an oasis to escape amidst the hustle and bustle of the city and need some true R&R???…read moreLook no further and bring yourself to this luxury spa located in the Stomping Yard area of the heights! Elevate your next spa or medspa treatment! I was warmly greeted by not one, but two of the kindest and sweetest receptionists as soon as I walked through the door. They checked me in via iPad on their desk kiosk, brought me water, and had me wait until I was introduced to the MOST AMAZING massage therapist, Lydia!!!! She has magic hands for sure!!! I had a really stressful week at work and I explained to her how much pain and ache I was feeling and after I left the spa. It was night and day! She explained to me different at-home Methods to try and alleviate my aches and pains, such as using a heating pad for 20 min before bed to help with tension. The spa is located on the 2nd level right as you enter the parking lot of the stomping grounds. I'm not sure if they have lockers and a changing room But they have a beautiful outdoor table to relax and sip drinks or water with gal pals or your SO. I also had a chance to meet the owner - Brittany (spelling might be wrong) but the entire experience from start to finish was equal to a five star luxury hotel spa but way more down to earth with extremely caring staff. They are amazing!!! Totally worth the splurge and I will definitely be spreading the word about how amazing their customer service and quality staff/therapists go above and beyond - that extra mile makes all the difference!!! Tulum truly lives up to their name!!!

I booked three services: a massage, a lymphatic drainage add-on that was showing as 50% off, and…read morethe salt room experience, which is complimentary during the week. The day before my appointment, I received a call saying their system had made a mistake and should not have allowed me to book the lymphatic drainage special at 50% off. It was only about a $20-$25 difference, so honestly, as a new customer, I would have expected them to honor the price their own system allowed me to book. There was really no flexibility or effort to make it right. I still came in for the massage, and the massage itself was fine. However, since the lymphatic add-on was removed, I would have had to wait about 30 minutes to use the salt room. I decided not to sit around and wait, so I just left after my massage. Overall, my issue was less with the massage and more with the customer service. Would I return? No. Would I recommend it? Probably not. Most spas at this price point are beautiful, but what really makes a spa experience special is the customer service, the guest experience, and the business thinking behind it. In this case, it felt like they chose saving $20 over creating a positive first impression with a new customer.

I stumbled upon this place after searching for reflexology and massage because my shoulders and…read moreneck were in so much pain. I wasn't looking for frills but quality work to help get some of the kinks out of my back. I came to the right place! Called for a same-day appointment and the woman who answered the phone was very polite and accommodating. When I asked to confirm pricing from what is on the site, those are up-to-date and accurate. They are very easily located on Silber right after the entrance to the Edwards Theater. The lobby is clean and not dark and sketchy, with no cheesy music playing or blackout curtains. I went for the Combo #2 (80 mins total, 40 mins back/shoulder and 40 mins feet/head/arms) and Helen took the most amazing care of me. The pressure was hard, which I needed, but not painful; she truly worked on my issues and didn't just rub oil on my back. When we were finished, I got dressed and went into the other room for her to do my feet and I just wanted to sleep. She placed a warm therapy pillow on the lower part of my back and got to work while my feet soaked in a tub of warm/hot water. Helen proceeded to really work on my feet, legs, and toes! But only after she did a great job on my head (why do head massages just put me to sleep?) and then neck and shoulders and then placed a warm therapy eye pillow on my face to allow me to really sink into the second part of my appointment. Fancy spas are great if you are looking for that. But if you are truly looking for a quality experience with very professional people, I cannot recommend Soul Retreat Spa enough. And again, huge shout-out to Helen...she was just so good. Thank you, Helen!

I found out about this place through a few Houston bloggers. I'd been wanting to come check it out…read morefor a while, and finally made an appointment for an AquaBella facial. Given everything that's going on with COVID, when you arrive they take your temp and have you pull all of your belongings in a bag. You also don't change into one of their robes, but stay in your own clothes during the facial. All of the aestheticians are wearing masks, and during the facial she wore a shield and gloves as well- I felt safe. The facial was heavenly! And my aesthetician was super sweet and easy to talk to. I raved about my experience to a few friends, and one of them already came in and got her facial done and loved it as well! I can't wait for my next one. This place is truly a gem! Take advantage of their monthly or HH specials as well ;)

It was a knock-off called Agua Bella. Instead of three steps it was two. Looking at my skin and seeing no difference at all is frustrating.

The ladies were nice and the place was fine other than that but overall I would not recommend getting a hydrafacial here since it is not the official Hydrafacial machine/brand.

Spa days are essential to the soul. I was given a gift card during teacher appreciation week that…read morecovered enough for a massage at Trellis. I decided to make a whole day out of it. With any booking you are granted access to the premises from 8am to 7pm. It's better to go early during the week because they say it gets busy on the weekends. I honestly went on Monday and I'm thankful that I did. Things that are complimentary are: access to lockers, showers, steam room, jacuzzi, cooling pool, and out jacuzzis. Plus there are lounging spots upstairs where the massages take place. They also give complimentary tea, coffee, fruit, cookies, and trail mix. Plus refreshing infused water. I pre booked a 50 min trellis massage. Kendal gave the best massage I ever had, I swear! Although I will say there is definitely discrepancy with time as they add in them walking you to the room, pre conversation, undressing, all of that into it. So ultimately it can vary from 35-40 mins which is a bit meh for the cost of $200 + 23% mandatory gratuity (not including tip). I most definitely would come back for another massage with Kendal. Yet if you're coming solo bring headphones because sometimes there will be couples or groups talking in the inside cooling pool area and it can sound quite loud since it's closed in.

From the time I booked my appointment until I was done with my massage, the experience was…read morewonderful. So after I booked my massage, I was sent email and text confirmation. The email came with instructions where to park. And u actually pass your trellis on the way to park your car. The parking spaces will be clearly marked trellis. The locker that they provided was very spacious. There was about 3 attendants in the locker room as well. Every locker came with a robe already inside. And u will be assigned a locker when you check in at the front desk. They also lend u sandals to wear if u want to borrow them. The massage area has 22 rooms and 3 waiting areas upstairs. And they to have areas where people are sleeping in their robes. I didn't think it would be so busy on a random weekday but I was wrong. There was a constant flow of people. I love all of the amenities. They provided coffee, tea, short bread cookies, fruits and nuts and of course water. My masseuse was great. I got the pressure exactly how I like it. I love the choice of oils I can use for my massage. I love the smell and esp bc it's the veranda natura bisse and it's all natural. When I was done with my massage, I went to the pool outside to enjoy myself. One pool was hotter than the other. I sat under the trellis and eventually ordered lunch. I didn't think lunch was going to be good but it was amazing. I've had lunch here years ago when I stayed on the Houstonian hotel and I ordered room service. I ordered salmon both times and it's still good years later. Everyone here was great. The massages do include the tip and I believe it's like 20-25%. Also the food that I ordered at the pool came with a service charge as well. Now the people at the pool were wonderful. They made sure we have water always. U can also refill the water yourself but they do come around with a tray with cups of cold water. So the pools outside are heated and the pool inside is cold. There is also a jacuzzi which is small. I had a wonderful experience here. Can't wait to go back when I need some R&R. And if u go on the weekends the massage prices are going to cost more.

There aren't many ITL Houston spas--that aren't ridiculously priced--with an outdoor pool, hot tub,…read moreand sauna. Blossom Massage has all those, and has been around for a decade-plus with a great reputation. Dunno WHAT took me so long to check them out, but I recently bought a couples massage (which included all-day pool access) as a Christmas gift for my beau. We planned on getting there an hour before our massage to enjoy the hot tub (they requested that we call ahead to let them know and get the heat going). Our massage started promptly on time, and we both opted for deep tissue. I had Deanne, who specializes in Swedish and deep tissue massage (according to her bio on the website)... and let me say she has some STRONG hands. She found all my tension and pain-points and loosened me up. I was honestly a bit sore for days, but in a good way. A great reminder I need to take care of my body post workouts and after long days at the desk... My biggest feedback for them would be to have more info on their website about the pool access and what's offered (towels, robes) and how long we have pool access (it's all day, btw). Before booking, I had to call to get that info; it's be more convenient to add all of that info to their FAQ page. They also allow you to bring snackies, so I brought a fruit, cheese, and tinned fish spread. Also, wondering if they had hot tea service. That's always a nice touch post-massage. Looking forward to booking again!
