I've been here a few times but first time having a massage without the a/c working... hm, incredibly made the experience very interesting! I've concluded the one word to describe it was a saunage (sauna + massage) which I easily fell asleep many times during my therapeutic treatment. I was on a business trip and getting a massage was not in the itinerary but I couldn't refuse the opportunity! + New masseuse who did a really amazing job. Very thorough and consistent pressure in every area she treated. Interesting places I haven't had massaged before that gave me an eye opener for were the armpits and the toes. - When I specifically told her no face massage because I didn't want to ruin my makeup and so what did she do? She said "Ok" and then rubbed the sides of my face, smearing my eyeliner (that was not cool). Overall, the massage was incredibly relaxing. It would have been nice if the a/c was working but also gave a nice sauna experience. Communication needs improvement.
Therapist walked out of the room 4 times during my massage, then at the end demanded that I pay 20% tip. Worst massage experience I've had in a while- if you are going to spend $100 for an hour go to coastal day spa or massage envy.
I saw the reviews and wasn't sure about going here. That's why I decided to write a review. It was wonderful. I go there whenever I can visit. I have given my mother gift certificates as well.
My partner and I got two Thai massages here. We compared after though, and he got a significantly different massage than I did, for the same price. Mine was more Swedish massage with some stretches thrown in, whereas his masseuse was stepping on his back the whole time. I think he ultimately got the "real" thai massage, and I got a hybrid Swedish massage that they just charged extra for. Also--this just bothered me--we tipped 15% each to our masseuses, and they got VERY hostile that we went under 20%. I understand the service industry can be tough, but I would have responded much more favorably to honey than to vinegar.
They give a good massage, but the price is questionable and they attempt to try to charge more than their price list. . Example if you come before 1 pm the published rate is $64 but they try to tell you they want $79 for the massage. This has now happened twice.Then I was told my tip (15%) was too small. Who needs this kind of hassle? Too bad since I'm in Jupiter for 3 months and would have gone once a week. Joe
I did not have a good experience here. The massage was not by definition a massage. I was expecting a technique that involved manipulation of the tissues thru kneading, pressing, and rubbing that would relax my muscles and have a therapeutic effect. I didn't get anything close to this, I had no idea what she was doing. She was pushing and poking me over a rough, course towel. Yes, a towel. Don't expect white, soft linen over the massage tables. They use brown, course, thin towels. They did not use essential massage oils and creams. Instead they had oily lubricants in squeeze bottles, with no labels. About 10/15 minutes into the massage I got up and said "No, thank you" and asked for my refund. If you've ever had a massage at a quality day spa you'll soon realize this place is completely different. From the linen, the products, and the massage technique they incorporate. They also have table showers that you can add to any massage. I asked what that service was and they showed me the room. It's a table you lay on and they give you a shower with Dove body wash. In a nutshell, this isn't a place you would send your mother or daughter. There was nothing therapeutic or relaxing about my experience. Pushing and poking is not a massage.
