I came here for a birthday party, and let me just say it was a great time! They have a list of recommended steps to follow for all of the wellness areas. I followed it for the most part... lol, once I actually noticed it. I started off in the wellness spa area (I believe that's what it's called) next to the cold plunge. I went into the sauna, the steam room, and the Arctic room, and we also purchased green tea. Everything was amazing, and the experience was very relaxing. I can't wait to come back!

Visited Rafa Sauna Lounge on their very first day of opening with a friend and wanted to share an honest, fair review. Aesthetically, the space is very beautiful. The attention to detail in the design is clear and thoughtfully done. Visually, it absolutely delivers. That said, the overall experience felt less luxurious than expected. Upon arrival, the check-in area was quite crowded and took about 10 minutes. I came with a friend, and there was some confusion during check-in. I was accidentally asked to fill out and sign her safety waiver. Even after pointing this out, no corrections were made, which felt concerning. We were given robes, sandals, and electronic wristbands, but there wasn't much guidance on what to do next. The groups ahead of us also didn't receive much instruction. When I asked if there was a guide, pamphlet, or brief explanation of what to expect, I was told they were still working out the details and that we should just explore. A short tour or simple brochure would have helped, especially for first-time guests. The women's locker room had plenty of lockers, which I appreciated, and I liked that the keys were worn on your wrist. However, the dressing area itself was quite small for the number of people in our time block. The decor was minimal but still very nice. There were a few showers and two restroom stalls. Once changed, we entered the spa area. There is a cold shower and two small soaking tubs, one herbal and one Arctic. These tubs were very small, above ground, and didn't seem to have much circulation. The herbal tub had a foamy film on top, which felt unsettling. There are also no stairs or handrails to help with entry or exit, so we decided not to use them. We explored the two sauna rooms. The larger sauna was spacious and included a chess table, which was a cool and unique touch. The smaller sauna had a button for a "herbal experience," but when pressed, it seemed to only release steam with no noticeable aroma. After about 30 minutes, the main area between the tubs and saunas became very wet, and we even saw a staff member slip and almost fall. While the floor is textured, there were no mats, which could become a safety issue. We took a break and sat in the lounge area where complimentary citrus water was available. A team member kindly offered us a free fruit smoothie, which we appreciated. About 20 minutes later, she brought them out. They were just okay, but it was still a nice gesture, especially on opening day. While sitting in the lounge, we noticed electrical outlets placed at the bottom of the seating blocks where your legs rest. Considering guests are often wet, this felt potentially unsafe. There is also a stillness room with large lounging beds in very dim lighting. The room itself was relaxing, but we could still hear noise from other areas of the spa. Some added soundproofing would really elevate that experience. There is also a Japanese tea room with floor seating, which was a very cool concept. However, we later discovered through the wristband screen that the tea service and other drink options are an additional fee and not included with the spa package. That is something to be aware of before your visit. After about an hour into our two-hour session, we decided to head back to the women's locker room. By that time, the second wave of guests had arrived and the locker room was very full, so we had to wait a bit to access the changing area. It was only at this point, while changing and speaking with other guests, that we learned the showers were not working properly. The water was cold with very low pressure, making rinsing off difficult. This information was not shared with us earlier. Overall, the facility is beautiful, but for me, some of the luxury spa details were a miss. I did share my experience and concerns with the staff upon leaving, though they did not seem very receptive in the moment. I understand this was their first day, and I truly hope they take guest feedback into account as they continue to refine the experience. I'd love to see this local business grow, improve, and succeed.

I visited Rafa on their opening day, while the facility is beautiful I'm not sure I would go back. I wasn't a big fan of their herbal soak bath and cold plunge, they are small and it didn't seem sanitary. The water did not look clean and other guests mentioned regretting getting in. I did enjoy one of the saunas however the sauna alone wasn't enough for me to see the value. Again, this space is beautiful and they spared no expense on the overall aesthetic it just wasn't for me.

Just make sure you communicate exactly what you want to the English speaking person that checks you in so they can relay it to the therapist. Once you're in the massage room, communication is challenging if you want to give them any special instructions. Oven thing they do here that I don't like is that they start the massage with the sheet covering your whole body and sort of press on your body through the sheet. I guess this is to loosen you up, but for me is a waste of 20 minutes, as I would find there wasn't enough time to spend on my legs or something at the end. Last night I asked them to skip that part and it made a big difference. My initial therapist YoYo is gone. The two I've tried since then are Lisa and Jason and they both were very good.

I called for availability and they were able to book us within the next hour. We arrived 15 minutes before our appointment. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The receptionist checked us in and asked us to complete some forms so make sure you come a few minutes before your appointment. They do ask for your address but the form explains why. I had Nancy & my MIL had Joanna. They led us into our own rooms. The murals in the rooms were cute. The place was clean. The massage was perfect for me. I asked for deep tissue & Nancy delivered! She listened to my requests and she knew how to address each of them. The massages are reasonably priced & they do charge $2 if you pay with card. My MIL & I walked out feeling so refreshed and excited for the new year! We even talked about sending my husband & FIL! Thank you so much Nancy & Joanna! PS. Tip your massage therapists well. They work so hard to help us feel better!

I feel bad because I started out with one of those (silent service please) cards on the stool ((sorry Angella)) but as the service got started, she gave me tidbits of information on what she was doing and why. She also gave me a few pointers on what i can do at home or on my own time and with that, we just started talking and she walked me through alot of the process which i loved. She was incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and every movement had a purpose. She definitely kicked my butt (which for 8 days out or surgery, it was to be expected) but it wasn't painful at all. She was able to get all the fluids moving in my body and it was very relieving. When the service was done and I stood up to change back into my clothes, I could notice a huge difference with a reduction of swelling. Even as I'm sitting at home, I expected to feel kind of crappy after because of all the toxins being pushed out but I feel great. I can not say enough good things about Angella. I highly highly recommend for a lymph massage if you're looking for someone! I'll definitely be back!

I had called 30 minutes before arriving as this was a last minutes plan for myself on the drive home. Thought I'd stop in for an hour massage. The lady on the phone said I could come in as they accept walk ins. Upon arriving, I paid my dues, $60 for an hour massage plus a $2 card fee. My masseuse in the beginning was a male. He asked me the kind of pressure I'd like and I chose soft. I am not sure at what point him and the lady switched however, I immediately felt the difference in pressure. She was really rough and rushed through my massage. Twice I asked her to go soft as she was hurting me and at this point I no longer could enjoy my massage. No response. I didn't know they had switched until she announced she'd be back, just grabbing a towel. My first time experiencing a head massage and had it been delicate, I think I would've enjoyed it. Unfortunately, she was rough on my head as well. At the end of my time, she very loudly told me we were finished. No relaxation with this massage. When walking out, she comes to the counter and asks if the receipt she had was mine. I told her yes. She then tells me I wrote $0 for the tip and if I wanted to pay tip with cash. First, I'm not tipping on a service I did not receive yet and second, I was not happy with my massage. She then hassled me and asked if I liked my massage and why I wouldn't tip. Had I stayed with the same masseuse, I would've loved it. $60 for 60 minutes is a great deal! I'd say if you were to come here, speak up for yourself so that you may enjoy your time. I definitely did not.

I came in today with some hip tightness and hamstring tightness. I left feeling amazing. Misty is…read morefantastic.
