    Highly recommended The service was wonderful. I treated the wife to a couples massage for her birthday. My masseuse was wonderful. Unfortunately I forgot her name! And unfortunately my wife wasn't so please with hers... if I could, I would have traded masseuse with her! Overall, the whole experience was wonderful. Comes with the sauna, steam room, waterfall showers, cold/hot tubs , complimentary cookies and biscuits and teas.

    I received the face best facial this afternoon that I have ever received in my entire life. Elisa was the best. The facial included hot towels, a warm bed, the silkiest sheets, and she gave the best head, face and hand massage during the experience. I cannot wait to return.

    As a visitor, I had a wonderful experience at The Spa at Encore. It's a very peaceful, very beautiful facility. The staff was attentive and efficient. The hot tub area is a little small but no one else was there so I had the place to myself. (Bathing suits are required and it's impossible to buy one here in winter but I was able to wear gym clothes. Ugh. I'll always pack one going forward.) Heated tile lounge chairs, steam room, sauna, showers, and a private changing room available. Water, tea and a few snacks are in the lounge and pre-treatment coed waiting area. My massage therapist (Ariel) did a wonderful job and I'll encourage my husband's gambling so I can come back.

    The rest of the casino is absolutely fabulous the spa and the staff is terrible manager is very unprofessional I am hotel guest all the way from Seattle Washington I'm very familiar with the encore family upon check-in I was told the spa hours are from 8 AM to 8 PM every day I woke up in call the spa and tell them I was coming in they said no problem on the phone I got there and they said that there was a change of policy and our new hours are at 12:30 which is really inconvenient when check out at 11

    The beautiful and peaceful area before your massage.

    Fabulous! Well worth the trip and expense. A nice place to relax. A place that will become an addiction.

    My partner booked a spa day for my birthday that included a water flotation, massage and a mini…read morefacial. Unfortunately, the experience started off on the wrong foot. While I was already in an Uber on the way to my early morning appointment, the spa called my partner to say their water system had burst and the flotation service could not be done, which meant my appointment would be pushed back by an hour and 15 minutes. Since I wasn't going to wait that long, I turned around and went home. A few minutes later they called again saying they could take me only 15 minutes after my original time, which was confusing considering the earlier issue, and unfortunately it no longer worked with my schedule. I ended up keeping the massage and facial appointment later that day. When I arrived, I had to wait behind another client whose check-out went well into my appointment time. On top of that, I was told my service wasn't scheduled as a prenatal massage, so they needed additional time to change the room. My partner specifically booked a prenatal package over the phone, so this was another unexpected delay. Once I was in the room, my therapist Erica was very kind and welcoming. She explained how the prenatal massage would work, starting face up and then moving to my side later. The massage itself was fine, but the facial was disappointing. It was essentially just a face wash and warm towel. I've had quick 30-minute facials before and they typically include at least some pore extractions or a face mask but that was not the case here. During the massage, I was told I would eventually move to my side due to the prenatal positioning, but that never happened, likely because we ran out of time due to the earlier delays. It would have been helpful if that had been explained. At the end, I was offered water in a cup (tap water I assume) rather than a bottle, which felt a bit unusual for a spa experience. I also had to ask for tea, while it had been automatically offered to my sister who finished her service earlier. Overall, the staff was polite and kind, but the experience felt disorganized from start to finish. For nearly $400 for two services plus tip, it unfortunately did not feel worth the cost.

    Came for my first facial in a long time. The spa is very serene, with soft lighting and music. My…read moreappointment was with Laila and she started the session with what to expect. The facial included some neck and arm massage as well as in depth care on your face. All the products used had a very gentle smell (more herbal than perfume) and felt very high quality. It was so relaxing I could have fallen asleep! At the end of the session, we went over skin concerns (thankfully not many). I would highly recommend booking with Laila whether you are a facial newbie like me or a seasoned veteran!

    I never, ever thought I'd step into a cold plunge. But after hearing much raving about it, I…read morefinally gave it a try, starting with a sauna session to warm up. I was coached to shut out the noise and focus on my breath. To my surprise, I stayed in for over three minutes. The exhilaration afterward was incredible, only surpassed by the sensation when re-entering the sauna as warmth and circulation flooded back in. It's invigorating, deeply calming, and oddly addictive. Release Well-Being Center is a premier destination for contrast therapy. I've not found anything that comes close to this experience. Known as BLISS, their expertly curated sauna and cold plunge experience lives up to its name. The space is stunning, the amenities are immaculate, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and professional. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and that you are in for an elevated experience. The changing rooms are beautifully appointed (think high-end resort), and your locker is stocked with the most delicious robe, towel, and a pair of sandals. The staff does an exceptional job of keeping every space spotless, from the showers to the changing areas, and the beauty area, which boasts high-end hair products and styling tools, as well as any items you may have forgotten, such as hair ties, brushes, sanitary products, and razors. The heart of the experience lies in the relaxation lounge, a true sanctuary featuring two infrared saunas, a traditional sauna, and two pristine cold plunges (at temperatures of approximately 44° and 54°). The sauna relaxes and detoxifies. It's hot, yes, but deeply calming, evoking memories of back when it was okay to bake in the sun at the beach. The cold plunge is undeniably cold, but not painful; it stings and serves as a bracing wake-up call to both the body and mind. Sink in swiftly, breathe with intention, and time moves faster than you think. The contrast between the two has been transformative for me, with improved circulation, enhanced mental clarity, better cardio performance, a more elevated mood, and faster muscle recovery. And when you think you've hit peak Bliss, there's the eucalyptus steam room, also the best I've ever experienced. Stepping into its warm, fragrant mist after contrast therapy feels like a hug for your entire body. I've also had the pleasure of getting to know Linda Townsend, the founder and president of Release, who leads by example and shares the space with members. Our conversations in the sauna, about health, balance, and life, are part of what keeps me coming back. Release is more than a wellness center. It's a community, and a true gem in the heart of Boston. Try their generous Bliss trial membership. You won't regret it!

The staff is capable and friendly and the facility is clean and welcoming. This spa is exactly what I need in my life. Bring your bathing suit! Take a tour and see what the spa looks like. I bet you'll want to book something. There is an open room that has three types of saunas and two cold plunges. My niece made me do the plunge pools, and one was MUCH colder than the other. So refreshing! We both had facials and my skin glowed for days. The estheticians were great! If I am in Boston again for any reason, I would definitely book a facial and/or massage at Release Well-Being Center again. Bostonians are lucky to have this beautiful spa.
