I've been to many massage therapists in the past, but none have fully alleviated the pain I've…read morefelt. As a former CrossFit instructor, who now primarily enjoys doing calisthenics, I tend to experience the aches and pains that are part-and-parcel to living an active lifestyle; as they say: no pain, no gain. And, due to the lack of efficacy in the past, the expense of getting a massage regularly didn't seem worth it. I came to Desert Serenity Float & Spa simply for the float; it's a great way to let go of tension and relax. I saw that there was one opening still available for a massage, so I decided to add that, too. I'm so glad I did. Kristina gave me the best massage I've had to date. She didn't just go through the motions, she took the time to notice pockets of tension in my body, and gave them the attention I didn't realize they needed. I left feeling no more back pain, greater range of motion, and deep gratitude to have found a massage therapist capable of helping me live a more pain-free life. Highly recommend. Regardless of your level of activity, our bodies carry tension from past injuries, from repetitive actions, and from the emotional stress we often don't realize we carry. I've come to see massage therapy not as a luxury, but as a necessity, a means to regularly maintaining a body that is in constant flux. And Kristina with Desert Serenity Float & Spa is one of the absolute best massage therapists in the game. Go see her, and tell her Michael sent you.

I needed a massage so bad, I needed it as soon as possible. When I called to explain my agony, I was so happy I was able to be fit in that day. I could barely lift my arm above my shoulder, Krista is so in tune and worked to relieve the pain. To this day, 2 weeks later, I am still without issues. Now I am able to have feel good massages, but her deep tissue massage will fix what ails you! I highly recommend Desert Serenity Spa and Float!

Else you would get lost in the maze of the property. The spa facilities itself was amazing. The locker room has closed door changing rooms, a steam room, and jacuzzi pool outside. I had the body scrub treatment which was amazing. I was in the vishy shower room for over 60 minutes where I lay in a warm waterbed mat and scrubbed and showered. I would totally have this treatment again. I felt so clean and soft afterwards. The only thing I would do next time is to spend more time at the Spa and enjoy the quiet time and space of this beautiful place.

Another highlight was the adjustable massage bed that went from flat to zero gravity when it was time to flip to my back.

I went in with a lot of pain and imbalance in my back & she helped sort me out. I am still feeling better over a week later. She was communicative throughout the experience and allowed me to deeply relax.

We were greeted by Esmerelda and Justin. My boyfriend wanted a deep tissue massage and I opted for a more soothing Swedish massage. The massage started off with Lavender essential oils to breathe in, in order to calm and relax us while they both started. The incredible massage finished with the use of peppermint essential oil on our scalp that was amazing. We both ended up falling asleep during our service because we were so relaxed. Ive had plenty of massages in my life and this was by far one of the best I've ever had. We have another trip we will be booking soon and we will DEFINITELY add a massage with Justin and Esmerelda to our itinerary. Highly recommend. 5 stars!!

We are planning on booking their services the next time we are in the Palm Desert area. Do yourself a favor, invest in your wellness and book with them. You will not regret the experience!

Spend the extra money and go elsewhere. Edit: I've also noticed on here, Dennis the owner had said if you let him know in advance that you are coming and wish to use the amenities they will prepare and have staff come in early to let you in. That is not the case. This is our second time coming here, we had weeks of notice of our large parties both times, and still there was no one to meet us or set us up (or even let us in).
