Avoid Paradise Day Spa in Yulee at all costs! Good reviews have to be fake. I decided to go, against my better judgement. Thought it would be nice to find a place closer to home. Did not expect it to be of the caliber of the Ponte Vedra Spa or Spa at Bartram Walk BUT expected to at least relax & have the services done closer to home. I was told my day of services (5) would be at least 3 1/2 hours long. I was there closer to 2 hours & it was horrible! 2 hours is being gracious because the last 25-30 minutes was her trying to get my credit card to scan; she had no clue what she was doing with that either. I got there & was put in a massage chair in a hallway & sadly, that was probably the best part. The hallway was busy & the conversations in what I believe was the hair area was very loud. Not relaxing at all & my purse was on a stool next to me so when people were coming & going, I was concerned about my purse. $300!!! Sounds like a deal but I assure you it was not! The only thing that was decent was maybe the first half of the massage. I wanted to cry, seriously this was my birthday gift & it was rushed! It was so rushed that the strokes of the massage didn't even feel relaxing, nor the body scrub & the facial was not relaxing at all; very quick & not relaxing. A facial isn't a facial because you wash somebody's face under a steamer; literally that's all that was done. The body scrub was done on my back, most areas of my legs/arms, & I was asked to sit up to get it done so she can reach my back. It's was very quick & rushed. She used warm, wet towels to wipe off the body scrub (yes, while I'm still laying on the table & had to sit up again to get my back). Then she disappeared for a while & left me freezing under the sheet. She kept disappearing & leaving me in the same room that was by the front door & noisy, again not relaxing at all! Then the body wrap was not even a wrap. She put something warm on most areas of my arms, most areas of my legs & made me sit up again to do my back & then of course once I lay down it started getting cold, I was freezing again. I was freezing for for probably 75% of the time I was there. She had to have seen me shaking & later even said she's complained to management about how cold it gets in the rooms. I was never offered another blanket, anything to drink, a robe, nothing explained! Nothing was explained except her sales pitch about the membership. She told me she really only liked doing the massage & hair removal. I guess only for the first few minutes because after that EVERYTHING was rushed. This is NO spa! Not even close to being a spa! Then when I went to check out, she couldn't get my credit card to scan. She kept giving me a hard time about how she was going to get in trouble because they weren't supposed to type in the credit cards. Kept telling me something was wrong with my card yet I used immediately after the "spa" to get lunch so there was NOTHING wrong with my card. She said it cost them more money to type in the credit card number. Worst experience I've ever had the Mani-Pedi didn't even happen. She washed my feet a little bit rubbed something on my feet for like 30 seconds & when she was using the nail file it hurt she wasn't careful at all. She couldn't get the rub out of the dish because the spoon was stuck & got maybe the size of a lentil out of the dish & rubbed it so quickly... she told me she usually left the mani-pedis to the young girls because they can see!! She kept using a nail file & a foot file & throwing them back into a drawer, seemed very unsanitary! I didn't see any kind of cleaning of these tools at all! Tools didn't come out of a sanitized pouch either. She even said she wasn't used to do in the Mani- Pedi. Well the manicure, I had already painted my nails clear, she didn't take that off & she didn't shape my nails no hand massage no new paint; nothing like that it was literally not worth the money. I questioned her about how I had never had one person so services all in the same room & by the same person and she said there were several of them who had several license. I gave her a 20% tip in the spirit of Christmas and now I could kick myself in the butt for even paying for that service let alone giving a tip. Do yourself a favor and just pay more & go to an actual spa. I was looking forward to this for weeks, months actually when I finally decided on this place. I have not done anything like that for myself in a long time because my free time is very limited. I really just wanted to enjoy it & RELAX and she kept giving me sales pitch during my services. I've been to a lot of places & have never experienced anything like this at all! Honestly, I don't know where they got the photos for their website but it's NOTHING like the pics whatsoever. This place should not be allowed to call itself a spa! They never did a medical history, which seems basic at every place I've ever gotten a massage. Clean and sanitary tools are also a basic. read more
