Reviews of Spa at The Essex (Spa)

John Kohler

My wife & I had a couples message this week. We both enjoyed it very much. It was very relaxing and it helped loosen up our tight muscles in our back & neck.....Great job to both employees who performed the message. - our both message lunch in the Tavern was excellent.

The girls who did the pedicure and massage where wonderful. The spa is beautiful and clean. My only complaint is the nail polish. The drying time is a bit too long. No blowers to speed up drying and after 3 hours I needed to put in shoes and the polish is already smudged. So disappointed for what I spent. I do pedicures often and use OPI nail Polish and can easily put on my running shoes after less than 2 hours without issue. I suggest looking at this nail polish.

Polish was applied too fast and is blotchy

My spa service was alright. The food and drink service was poor. It was not a culinary delight once they finally got the correct order. No clean towels, no shampoo in shower, and staff would walk by dirty dishes or spills pretending not to see it. I am hoping they were just having a bad weekend. Might be open to trying again.

I took advantage of the promotional Pumpkin Spice Massage and I'm so happy I did! Beau is really excellent, knowledgeable and gave me great aftercare tips. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the near future for more self-care!

Luxurious retreat in a premium location! The staff are highly professional and really went the extra mile to see to our satisfaction, and the prices are GREAT! Tristan was incredibly helpful in helping me select my treatment packages. I would recommend the resort to ANYONE looking for a top-tier level of comfort and service!

Having lunch by the pool and hot tub made it a great stay- cation!

Greg Cremins

Rooms were clean and comfortable. Each one with a kitchenette. Spa was quiet, calming, and fun. The massages were perfect. Restaurants were a little pricy but were absolutely delicious. Would recommend for a weekend getaway!

The services that I visited for was waxing at the spa. They exceeded my expectations on all levels possible. Amazing staff. Great products. Great atmosphere. Knowledgeable about the offered products. Amazing service. Quality and up to date building that was stylish. When I called to make my apt they were more accommodating then I thought would be possible! I was really impressed by the entire experience. I wish I had discovered this place 15 years ago! A++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is my second visit you to the spa. We were greeted pleasantly by Tristan. The changing areas were very clean as well as the sauna and steam room area. I would recommend live plants in the pool area. The hot tub space could have been cleaned by removing leaves and branches. Otherwise we enjoyed our day of relaxing.

Dulce Cruz

It was awesome! The massage, the sauna, the steam room, the outdoor hot tub. Everything was amazing.

My massage with Kay was amazing, she totally relieved the pain & tightness in my body....in my opinion she's a real healer !

Donna Wikander

Had a very relaxing and rejuvenating massage at the Essex. Kyle was fantastic. Loved it. He was always concerned that I was feeling good and I felt like I was in great hands❤️❤️

Sarah Holland

Massage and steam room was a welcome end-of-the day experience!

Dorothy Grazier

This is not the first time Ashley has given me a pedicure, but each time as been really good. We talked about eyelash tinting and I tried it, love it this morning. May have courage for eyebrows next. She is very patient and supportive as well as an excellent practitioner.

Linda Sparks

Had an excellent message with Lindsay. Would definitely ask for her again.

Jessica Lovely

The massages were got were *OK*, but my main problem was with the pricing. I looked online for services and saw couples massage listed for a certain price, which I assumed would cover both of us. Come to find out that was an individual price so I paid twice as much as I was expecting and there was no place on the website I could find that it specifies this is for each person (I went back and checked). The services were very pricey for the quality of the massage I got, so I don't think I will be returning.

The best place on eartt

This was my first experience at a spa and although some aspects of my visit were great, my wife and I were expecting a bit more for what we paid for. First, we purchased a couples massage. That would usually mean a massage together in the same room but apparently that just means you schedule two separate massages at the same time... so buying a couples massage here is completely pointless. Second, getting a couples massage at a spa usually means other ammenaties both of you can enjoy together but the steam room / saunas are only in each of the locker room areas so we couldn't enjoy them together. The only co ed part of the spa is a lounge area akin to a waiting room with a fire place. Chairs only, no way to lay back and relax. The massage itself was great! They are very good at listening to what you want and with the sport massage we requested, really focused on sore areas. With that and the very high pricing, I can only give a 3/5 for our couples experience. It would have been a 4/5 if this was just an experience for one person.

Miriam Salvemini

Scheduled manicure and pedicure services. Wish I had booked other treatments. Beautiful laid back setting. Ashley was a very kind, thorough and gentle. Nails look great. Next time I may try a facial or massage.

Lisa Bergeron

Average experience. Had a pedicure. As a spa goer I didn’t feel it compared to other day spa experiences. Facility is dated. No spa music. Two women talking way too loud in the relaxation area which was very disruptive.

Becky Temple

My 1st visit to the spa for a pedicure since they switched from copper basins to the old fashioned skin infection outbreak associated pedicure chairs. I received an excellent pedicure and hope that since the chairs are new that there is no biofilm yet in the plumbing.

Christine Decelles

Scheduled a couples massage for me and boyfriend as an early Valentine's Day gift. The spa and amenities were great, but the massage was just OK. We both requested a deep tissue massage but my therapist was a little apprehensive as I have cancer and just finished my treatments. I explained that I didn't have any restrictions from my doctor and I told her the problem areas I wanted her to focus on. My boyfriend voiced to his therapist what his needs were as well. The massage I received was definitely not a deep tissue massage and she didn't focus on the areas I had requested. I understand that she was cautious, I just wish she had communicated this to me. Then when the massage was done my boyfriend informed me that his therapist didn't do what he had asked either. It was rather disappointing. I paid a lot of money for a subpar massage.

This spa is very beautiful. The relaxation room with a view of the snow coming down while relaxing next to the fire was blissful. We ended up staying most of the da. Super clean and lots of great amenities. My massage by Natin, was pretty amazing. I loved the work he did on my neck and that he listened and checked in about pressure. The room did smell a little bit like rancid oils which I wasn't expecting and didn't love. One of the staff members was very attentive and caring, the staff bringing us food and drinks was absolutely amazing. Friendly and great help. The others at the front desk didnt smile and barely looked up from the computer. Would have loved to feel a little bit more welcome when arriving as opposed to annoying them with having to do their job. I also did not receive one of my services that I had added on. I also think it would be amazing if they acknowledged people new to the spa. It was my bf's first time and with little welcome or information he felt very unsure and uncomfortable about how to use the facilities. A stressful way to begin a day of relaxation. Aside from those few things mentioned above we really enjoyed our time and are looking forward to our next visit. Definitely take advantage of the space if you are staying at the resort.

Very nice work from Ashley—love the hairdo but not the price—$50 for wash and blowout? Too expensive!

Barry Williams

I had a terrific body scrub administered by Forrest. He explained before hand what he would be doing and then proceded to do so using just amount of pressure. He was conversational without being too talkative and very pleasant. Ending the session with a good ale was an unexpected but nice touch. Although I was only in the area for business, if I would ever return, I would again get a treatment at the Spa at Essex.

Melinda Morse

It was absolutely WONDERFUL! Hot stone massage. Cannot wait to return. Extremely clean and friendly.
