    On June 11th, I made an appointment for myself and two friends Brie and Tim to be treated at 12:00…read moreat the spa in Chetola at noon on June 18th. I did have specific request for a therapist as I have been here many times prior and enjoyed being treated by Tracy. When I made my appointment, I had them look at my prior history to verify that she was still available and that I would be treated by her. Brie didn't have a specific request as far as a male or female therapist. Tim had requested a female therapist. On June 18th at precisely noon, Brie was taken directly to her appointment. My other friend and I waited another 15 minutes before somebody came out to take Tim back. It was Tracy...the therapist that I had requested. This left me with the male therapist, which I refuse to use after a very bad experience at a different spa. At this point, Brie was 15 minutes into her appointment, so there was not a way to change therapists, and the best way that I could see to resolve the situation was to give up my therapy session so that my friends could still enjoy their day. A manager came out, apologized to me and and explained that the system had changed so that there was no way to specifically request a certain therapist anymore. This confused me, as I literally just made my appointment a week ago and had there been a change to the system. I would've expected a phone call, explaining that our requests could no longer be met. I also explained that had we all been taken in on time, this issue could've been resolved, by arranging everyone as was originally agreed on with my first phone call when making the appointment. However, because two of our therapists were running 15 minutes behind this was not possible. It took a further 20 minutes for Tim to start his massage. I was told "Thank you for understanding" with no compensation offered. The therapist that I had specifically requested was completely booked for the day, and the point of this particular booking was for us to go in as a group so that we can enjoy our day. In short, I am very disappointed Chetola's lack of communication, service, and lack of compensation for my disappointing day.

    My fiancé and I came up to blowing rock for his 40th birthday. I got us couple massages. The…read moremassage was absolutely horrible. It was painful and not relaxing at all. The guy who massaged me was rough and not professional. My fiancés massage wasn't as bad as mine but it was just an awful experience. They were quick to finish just to clean the room and get us out of there. For 300.00 dollars for only 50 mins plus 60.00 for tip my massage should have been amazing! I should have got a massage in Boone they had a place for 1hr 240. I would never come back here. Rip off

    Where do I start?…read more Amazing hotel with a great spa. Friendly staff as well as knowledgeable. They didn't skip on anything. My friends (7 of us) visited the spa for a couple of services. We were very pleased with everything. I especially have to brag on my masseuse Matt. I've been dealing with upper arm pain for about 10 months. I've even been to another masseuse and I have received very little relief. Matt worked on my "locked" muscle and I'm almost back to normal. I literally slept with my arm under my pillow for the 1st time in months NO PAIN Give this spot a try. Can't wait to go back.

    I do NOT under any circumstance recommend this spa for a massage. First: when I made my…read moreappointment, they did not ask if I preferred a male or female masseuse. I later learned from the manager that per their policy (from corporate) they are not allowed to ask as it is deemed "discriminatory!" And I didn't think to request a female because it is CUSTOMARY everywhere (and I'm from California) to be asked if having a male masseuse is okay. So you could imagine my surprise when the male masseuse came and got me (late btw). I'm not opposed to having a male but it should be my "choice" and I did not possess the bandwidth to cause a scene (which they are essentially hoping for)!! The suits in their ivory tower who run this establishment appear to have little to no regard for women which clearly demonstrates their ideology toward women which in practice is discriminatory. They are taking the "choice" away from their female clients assuming and deciding for them!!! Deciding they should be massaged by a man other than their husbands! Hoping you just go with it (like I did)!! Moreover, they are deciding for any woman who's been sexually assaulted, that their voice doesn't matter by subjecting them to an unwanted situation! Hey suits: your policy is anti-women!!! Do better! Also, your beloved male masseuse was late and finished early and never once asked if his pressure worked for me which it didn't! Your sweet manager, however, took care of me after I complained. She's the only reason I gave you 1 star!
