Visited the Poseidon SPA for the first time for a little R&R so close to home in St. Augustine and so beautiful. It is attached to the historic Casa Monica Resort & Spa, the Kessler Collection hotels, and the level of professionalism and skill at this spa is outstanding. From the friendly greeting upon arrival, to the well appointed sitting rooms and luxurious robes, this place exceeds expectations at every turn. I had the Poseidon signature massage and opted for the scalp and face massage. My massage therapist Tiki was awesome, and after she talked me through the services I'd signed up for, she also paid special attention to the problem areas I had mentioned. After I was completely relaxed from my massage. With multipurpose rooms for facials, body treatments, and massages, the Poseidon Spa also offers couples room and several pedicure and manicure stations. Hair and make-up stations are available to serve bridal parties and guests attending formal events. There's also a beautiful retail boutique. I can't thank Poseidon Spa and @casamonicaresortandspa enough, it was an absolutely perfect treat, such a beautiful relaxed day. The Poseidon Spa is located at 53 King St. in downtown St. Augustine, at the Casa Monica Hotel. For more information, call (904) 819-6155 to book your appointment. ‍ read more

Wish I would've read the reviews before booking here! Definitely cannot call this place a "spa." There are no real amenities at all, surprising for a hotel like this. Even the locker room to change is super tiny, two of us felt very cramped. The girl who checked us in was sweet and very friendly. Massage therapist was also friendly and my massage was fine. They add a 24% service charge to your service and then still ask if you'd like to add additional gratuity. Would absolutely not return here, especially for their prices. read more

Want to say upfront that our massage therapists were fantastic, so this rating is not reflective of them. However, this is definitely not a luxury spa experience and the pricing is hard to justify for what's offered. The "locker room" is essentially just a bathroom, there are no real spa amenities, and the only additional facility is a standard hotel pool. There was no relaxing or elevated atmosphere at all. Also we were on our own to figure out pool space. Pool is outdated all cushions are stained, no attendants, old towels etc. The front desk staff felt cold and inconvenienced by basic questions, which added to the overall disappointment. The massages themselves were good, but overall this felt more like a hotel add-on than an actual spa experience -- especially at these prices. read more

We visited Poseidon Spa during our trip to St. Augustine. The massage therapists themselves were wonderful and did a great job, which was definitely the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the spa amenities were disappointing. The facility felt very small and overcrowded, with limited locker space, only one shower, and the "quiet" meditation room was packed and not relaxing at all. Overall, while the service providers were excellent, the spa atmosphere and amenities did not match the relaxing luxury experience we were expecting. read more

Very much Meh. The greeting we received was very unenthusiastic from the lady that checked us in, almost disinterested I would say. This was made up for by our estheticians they were great as well as the ladies that checked us out, wonderful. Pricing was about 30% inflated which is standard for a hotel spa, but still. I never love automatic 20% gratuity and would have tipped more given the choice. Overall unimpressed with the initial impression and price to quality ratio. read more

Positives: -Friendly service -Clean facilities -Nice pool area (even with screaming kids doing what kids do in pools) -Yummy food available at pool area So-so: -The treatment, itself I went for a Detox & Renew in March 2024 and asked if the pressure could be more firm. I was told that I could book a deep tissue massage since this treatment was more for the skin than the muscles. The massage therapist was polite enough but I've never been told to book another treatment when asked for more firmness in a massage. When the massage part of this treatment came, her pressure literally felt like someone just putting lotion on me. This made the treatment disappointing and left me wanting more--I was massaging myself at the pool, post-treatment. I did the scalp treatment add-on and luckily, she did apply more pressure here to my scalp but it was almost too little, too late since my arms and legs just felt like they had lotion applied to and not actually massaged. I normally always tip 20% but for this treatment, if given a choice, I would not have. Unfortunately for my experience, the tip is a fixed 18/20%. I also wish there was a place to have left a review or comment in-person instead of online. Maybe there was a comment box at the spa but I missed it. My friends also got the Detox & Renew the same day as me and we all had vastly different experiences amongst our massage therapists. Unsure if I would go back based on my experience but my friends who had different therapists all enjoyed for the most part. I did not have them but my friends said Tiki and Ren were good. read more

My wife and I will be back every time we visit Saint Augustine! This Spa has great products in the front and a professional manicure and pedicure in the back. The associates were super helpful and welcoming offering recommendations and sites to see while we visit. 10/10 Spa experience that we can't wait to experience again soon! read more

Worst spa experience I have ever had. I had to sit in the body scrub for the whole experience. They did not make me wash it off. They applied the face mask on top of my makeup. It felt so itchy and disgusting and gross. They kept giving me dirty towels. I was so disgusted I could not wait to leave. Then on top of the service being bad they tried up the pricing to "weekend prices" and then also charged a $59 "service fee". I told them how bad this experience was and they didn't seem to care at all. Overpriced, poor value. read more

Best spa experience hands down. Booking was super easy, staff was so friendly and accommodating. I have been three times and I recommend Joe if you are going for a massage. His artistic talent in massage is very impressive. I felt comfortable, was able to relax and truly enjoyed every second. read more

Getting a massage during COVID is a different experience for sure but one I have gotten used to. You can only get here 5 minutes before your appointment and you wait in the area with all of your street clothes on! No robes, no slippers, so that part of the relaxation experience is missing but I respect it! Once in the room, you go straight to the table and after the massage, put your street clothes on without leaving the room....oily skin and all! I do respect it though as showering with others close by in the area doesn't seem safe. So, if you want to feel comfortable and safe and need a massage, this is a good place to go! I asked for a 60 min deep tissue massage and Sam went above and beyond in understanding areas that needed work and truly did an amazing job. She stretched me while massaging and could tell I needed it! She is a true professional with a really good understanding of what she was doing. I will return and recommend this place during the pandemic and after the pandemic is over! (I would be remiss if I didn't leave a comment about the friendliness of the receptionist also. She is so pleasant and welcoming.) read more

This place is perfect for a day of relaxation and pampering yourself! I came in on a Saturday evening for a Signature Pedicure, nothing fancy...I'm a simple gal. I was welcomed by 2 lovely ladies and given a short form to fill out and offered many additions to my service, they provide a menu of things you may not know you can get! I was directed to the waiting room, a dim sitting area with herbal tea and infused water offerings. (I noticed someone staying at the hotel brought her glass of wine from next door and they even got her a refill before her massage!) The room is decorated in cool blue tones with an almost beach-y feel. There are plugs if you need to charge up, abut 5 chairs and just enough lighting to help you relax. I was also offered a warm neck wrap and am beginning to regret not purchasing one for home. The ladies asked if I needed anything a few times and were very accommodating to everyone I saw come in while I was there. Great staff with awesome customer service skills! I got the best pedicure ever! No 'cheese graters' or rough pumice stones, just a real pedicure. It was extremely relaxing and days later my feet feel soft and refreshed!! I had Nancy (Naja) as my pedicurist and she's a ton of fun - admittedly, we know each other and had plenty to talk about. I trusted her to pick my color and she went with the deepest forest green I've ever seen - it's almost black. This is an on-trend color pick for fall so she definitely knows what she's doing and keeps up with what is in fashion. Of course, there are massaging chairs, bubbles in the water and - if you'd like - another amazing neck wrap (win!). It's an intimate room so you don't feel like you're in a nail barn with 40 other sheep, it's a simple, clean space with enough room for 2 pedicures at a time (and 2 manicures at the nearby stations). The spa is connected to the Casa Monica hotel, so if you are staying in St. Aug for a refreshing weekend, this is a great way to spend some of your time - maybe after walking the shops for a day or two. The prices are a bit high, but again, this is a resort affiliated spa - you are paying for the comfort and ease of walking a few feet with a glass of wine and getting an amazing service. Don't let the prices scare you, we all deserve a treat and need to take care of ourselves better! read more

Well worth the rub down! Tiki was incredible, amazing pressure. We went all out on our time and left feeling rejuvenated! read more

Poseidon Spa - Entrance to spa! - Massage Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I booked a regular manicure and gel pedicure. Arrived 15 minutes early as requested. Was not offered a robe or slippers. Given a cheap glass of champagne. The water to soak my hands was ice cold. The manicurist's hair kept getting caught in the polish. The polish was old and thick and bottles were dirty. They wanted to remove my gel polish by asking me to dip my entire foot it a bowl of acetone. I left after 1 1/2 hours with no polish on my hands and my feet white and swollen. I reported to the hotel manager the incident. She said she had many complaints that day and the manager of the spa would call me. Still waiting.....No call. Don't go. Spa prices and amateur service. read more

Wow. Blossom was awesome. I lever had a facial before. The experience was fantastic and I feel great. Thanks for a wonderful service. I'll be back. Facial and peel... both fantastic. read more

We were staying at the Casa Monica Hotel and we decided to have my Mom pampered at the Spa with a facial. Well, Elizabeth (Lizzy) was amazing with her. I would highly recommend both Lizzy and the spa. read more

I love staying at the Casa Monica and having my wife rest with a spa treatment. It won't be the same without her favorite spa team member Cortney who knew my wife's special needs with ciatic pain. Guess we will have to go to palencia for further spa treatments. read more

I had the best facial by Lizzie , she's lovely and new to St Augustine. I highly recommend this all Natural treatment center. read more

I am addicted! The moment I arrived I was treated like a VIP. A professional and warm greeting by Staci was only the start of an amazing experience. Another greeting by my massage therapist Joe (a repeat performance upon my request). I spent 90 minutes in heaven with arguably one of the best massages I have ever had - and I have had many. Facilities are cozy and immaculate. Did I mention a nice glass of champagne to top it off? If you're in Saint Augustine, and you need to relax and treat yourself, don't miss this place. You will not be disappointed! I'm a local and I don't need to look elsewhere for an extraordinary spa experience. Thank you Staci and Joe! read more

My girlfriend and I were visiting from the NY/NJ area and we're looking for a nice relaxing spa to spend a few hours lounging and pampering. Never never go here! The masseuses were unprofessional banging the massage table, coughing and sneezing during our treatments and the deep tissue massage could have been performed on a newborn baby. The lounge was pitiful and barely any where to sit. The prices were ridiculous for the level of service. I'd give it a zero instead of a 1 Star if I could. read more

My friend & I had 80 min massages on Sunday We were able to valet park Casa Monica Hotel The spa is quiet, clean & relaxing I had Cortney She did a great job of listening to my requests & did amazing job. We leg there very relaxed & happy. read more

Have been a few times - in the past, sometimes it was great and other times it could have been better. This past experience has sealed the deal for me - I made surprise appointments for my husband and I - when we showed up, they had lost my reservation. Very disappointed to say the least. Apologies all around but ugh. Decided to give another opportunity and made another appointment.... 24 hours prior, they called and told me their provider had other plans and asked if there was another time I would come in. Needless to say - they will not see me again. Bummer, as I am local and it is a great way to spend part of a weekend. read more

Came here While staying at the Casa Monica. Had the couples massage with my wife. Massage was amazing, the service was great, everything was super clean. Will come again read more

I loved the hotel and the service. It was a perfect location for my wedding night and getting ready with my bridesmaid. The spa was my only disappointment. I trusted the hotel to find someone to do my formal hair and makeup for my wedding. The makeup was wonderful, but my hair was terrible and I had to return to my room to redo it myself. I paid over $200 for this service and it included a 20% tip that I had no control over. It was my only regret of the whole day. I emailed the hotel and they didn't even respond with an acknowledgement. read more

Beautiful, luxurious venue with outstanding customer service. Staff were incredibly attentive to my needs. Best massage I've ever had- I will definetly be coming back upon my return visits to St. Augustine! read more

Poseidon Spa - Massage Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

My appointment was for a 90 minute massage. Once I got into the massage room I was offered several different add on options. I being the spa loving person that I am chose to try all of the add ons. The massage and add ons were great however I would not do the add ons again. I would have rather just had a 90 minute massage. Beautiful spa and great spa store. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Definitely would recommend it. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high but I was disappointed. Overall the spa is very small--one shower and one toilet per men/women locker rooms. The "relaxation room" is so close to the main entrance that you hear every phone call and every group of folks walking in talking loudly. My 80min facial and mani/pedi services were just fine. The nail care area is also right by the entrance so just a lot of noise when you might want things to be fairly quiet and calm. I would've liked a heads up so I could've at least been prepared or chosen another way to spend me time and money. read more

We went for a couples' massage as a wedding gift and it was just perfect. The atmosphere was elegant and peaceful. We were each ushered into our respective locker rooms where we could put away our belongings, my purse , jewelry, etc. we were given luxurious robes and slippers. We waited in the lounge and helped ourselves to some orange-infused water. We were then taken to the couples' massage room. I had "Nester" and he was wonderful. I was asked whether I wanted a relation, deep tissue or combination of both type of massage. I opted for the combination with an add-on of the hot stones. Nester was great!!! He really put pressure on all the sore spots I had in my neck and shoulders. He definitely helped me relax my muscles. After the massage, as expected, we were given a glass of water. We were then offered to use all of the amenities of the locker rooms and even to use the pool in the adjoining posh hotel. Had I known this ahead of time I would have brought my bathing suit. I'm all ready to get married tomorrow morning! I also loved the spa shop. They have makeup and OPI nail polish. read more

Wow! Just had a 90 signature massage with Eileen - it was amazing! I wish I lived here I would be in all of the time! It just opened two weeks ago. Very cute. It's small - has a great co ed relaxation room. read more

Too expensive for what is offered. It was my first time in St Augustine. Booked a short get away for my daughter and myself. If you want the experience we had, you're better off booking at Massage Envy and saving a lot of $$$. What they offer?... Four treatment rooms, a "locker room" entirely too small for more than two people, NO sauna, NO steam room, NO soaking pools... NO extra anything. Very few services are actually offered, just "add ons". You have your treatments and just leave. NOT A HIGH END SPA. Actual services were just average. The whole experience was like ordering an expensive filet mignon and getting served a quarter pounder w/ cheese. It was tacky all around. All art work on the walls was available for purchase...priced right next to paintings. Two massage beds in a treatment room for a single massage...not a couples massage. When you drop over $400 per person (over $800 total for two people) and you're back in your hotel room 2 1/2 hours later to shower because the have only one shower in a cramped locker room. TOTAL RIP-OFF!!!!! read more

Oh dear. This was a disaster. I think it was just my masseuse as other people and even my husband had good experiences. First of all, this spa is ridiculously over priced, and it was easily the worst massage of my life. My masseuse tried to get me to lay flat on my back for the massage. I am 33 weeks pregnant. Anyone who knows anything about pregnant women knows this is a big no-no as it can cut off air and blood supply to the heart. My masseuse just didn't seem like he had any professional training at all. It felt like a pedestrian off the street was giving me a massage. His hands were sweaty and I was incredibly uncomfortable. Absolutely nothing about it felt professional, and the high price on top of that meant I left feeling frustrated and incredibly disappointed. Wish I could remember his name so I could tell you to never get a massage from him! read more

Paid for my wife to get a massage here. Girl at the front desk was a bit odd. Massage therapist was more interested in trying to get us to buy stuff than actually doing the massage. Interior seems cold. I felt as though i were being judged for my appearance.. overall I think I'll choose another place that is more welcoming and better staffed next time. read more

But first, a word: know what you're getting yourself into ahead of time, and you will enjoy yourself. Let's face it, I can't swing $122 for a mani/pedi on a weekly basis, but Rioshy put my at-home manicurist to shame. It's a spa, and a hell of a spa at that. Small, yet tastefully appointed. I chose the seasonal upgrades, where the aesthetician rubs oils on you with quartz stones and you smell slightly better. I'm not sure I knew what the upgrade meant, and she gave a much better massage without the stones than with them, so I think I'd rather have skipped. I'm not really a believer in the healing power of rubbing pretty stones on your skin, but I will say other than just being in a luxurious spa, she had incredible attention to detail, and my nails have never looked this nice in my life. They'll be back to rubbish after playing with my toddler in the dirt once we're home, but for 2 more days, I don't have tomboy Mom hands, and that's pretty special. She had her work cut out for her, and was very talented in her work. Rioshy gets 5 stars, hands down. I gave 4 stars because the snobbish receptionist didn't offer me tea but offered it to everyone else, and didn't help me with any of the products in the store that I was interested in taking home with me. I may look like a hippie, but I've got vacation money, honey read more

One of the best message I have had on a long time. Would definitely go back. Hot stones helped my sore muscles.

Must say very nice place, lovely crew, clean and well organized over all very professional. I loved everything about this place. Thank you for being so nice. keep up your good work. read more

This spa is fantastic! Highly recommend this quiet and lovely spa experience. One caveat, if you plan to shower and dress after spa, bring your own hair dryer and styling products. Other than that, overall massage and environment was superb. read more

A tad on the snobby side, was contemplating a groupon and called for availability and booked direct but that didn't afford me any favors...I went ahead and asked if access to pool/Hot tub was included with the extraordinary fee......it was, glad asked. Vanessa gave me an amazingly relaxing facial and the surroundingings were amazing. A warmer hostess attitude would have been nice no matter what price I paid. read more
